APPLAUSE

Circle Ten Council

Clean Air: Take a big sniff of air, exhale and say “AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!”

Noise Pollution: Raise hands and have everyone yell as loudly as they can. Lower hands and volume of yells go down. When hands are on floor, everyone must be extremely quiet. Do several times – raise and lower volume. Then, with hands on floor ask the Pack to listen to absolute quiet.

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle: Divide the audience into three sections. Have the first section yell, “Reduce!”, the second section yell, “Reuse!”, and the third section yell, “Recycle!” Alternate pointing at each section, pointing faster and faster.

Reverse Applause: Move hands away from each other.

Plant: Crouch near floor, take deep breath, hands together, like saying prayer with eyes closed, slowly rise upward spreading fingers and as you are on tip-toes, look up (to sun,) open eyes and exhale "Ahhhh."

Longhorn Council

Spider Applause: Walk all four fingers of one hand up the other arm and then scream ‘EEEEEKK!”

Great Salt Lake Council

RECYCLE:            Pick up an empty soda can, stomp on it and throw into a recycling can

SPRING:               Jump up and down and say "boing, boing, boing."

A TREE’S LIFE: Start as a seed, crouch on ground, stretch out arms and slowly stand to represent trunk and branches; sway with wind happily, shake fingers as you lose your leaves, shiver in cold during winter. Say "oh, no! Timmmberrrrr."

RECYCLE 2:         Pat yourself on the back several times.

LITTERBUG:       Slap back of hand several times with a frown on your face.

PICKING UP AFTER A LITTERBUG: Spot some trash, pick it up and put in can, clap, slide hands together as though you are brushing them off and smile big.

GARBAGE DISPOSAL: Turn you face up, open mouth, make gurgling sound, swallow big.

GARBAGE TRUCK: Start with hands over head together, lower arms, open, clap, lift up, open and make sounds of compressing garbage.

Baltimore Area Council

Beaver:      Cut a tree by tapping front teeth together, slap your tail by slapping a palm against your thigh, then yell, "TIMBER!"

Bear:          Growl like a bear four times, turning halfway around each time.

Bee:            Put arms straight out and pretend to fly, while going "Buzz-z-z-z, Buzz-z-z-z."

Rainstorm Cheer: To simulate rain, have everyone pat one finger of the left hand and one finger of the right hand. Gradually increase the intensity of the storm by increasing the fingers hitting together. Decrease the number of fingers as the storm passes.
