STUNTS AND APPLAUSES
APPLAUSES & CHEERS
A Box of Cheer
San Gabriel Valley, Long Beach & Verdugo Hills Councils
ü Here is a quite simple and fun way to introduce a cheer.
ü Get a small Cheer Box, clean it out, and voila, you have a Cheer Box for all the cheers.
ü Take all the cheers and applauses that you have and put each one on a slip of paper, then drop them in your Cheer Box.
ü During the pack meeting call up one of your scouts to pick a cheer out of the Cheer Box (No peeking!),
ü Then have him lead the cheer.
Baltimore Area Council
The Ball Applause: Hold any kind of ball in your hands. When you are holding the ball, everyone is quiet. When the ball leaves your hands, everyone goes wild and cheers. Try bouncing the ball, faking a throw, or tossing it to another person.
Home Run Applause: Simulate swinging a bat at a ball, shade your eyes with your hand and yell, “Thar she goes:”
San Gabriel Valley, Long Beach & Verdugo Hills Councils
Home Run: Simulate swinging a bat, then shade your eyes with your hands and yell,
"It’s outta here!" or “It’s way back and it’s gone!”
Bouncing Ball: Using a super ball or golf ball (preferably), drop the ball from an outstretched hand over your head or toss it upwards. Have the group yell, “Pow” every time the ball hits the floor.

JOKES & RIDDLES
Weather The Weather
www.theweatherprediction.com
I used this when I was the weatherman for a Wood Badge course in 1996. CD
Whether the weather be fine
Or whether the weather be not,
Whether the weather be cold
Or whether the weather be hot,
We'll weather the weather
Whatever the weather
Whether we like it or not
I guess since I did that one we need –
When I was in Arkansas,
I saw a saw that could out saw any saw I ever saw
So if you are ever in Arkansas,
And see a saw that can out saw the saw I saw
I’d like to see your saw saw
And –
How much wood could a woodchuck chuck
If a wood chuck could chuck wood

Sports Riddles In Rhyme
Baltimore Area Council
Say a verse and see who can guess the sport. Answer in parentheses.
Think of a diamond,
Think of a team of nine
Think of a grandstand filled with fans,
Willing to stand in line. (baseball)
Two forwards and a center,
Plus two guards make a team,
To win this fast exciting game
Is every player’s dream. (basketball)
Eleven players on each team.
Two halves in which to play
When a player makes a touchdown.
There’s cheer right away. (football)
