RUN-ONS
Regatta Run-On
Baltimore Area Council
Maybe you want to do this one the month before your Raingutter Regatta CD
One by one, Cubs walk on stage holding a piece of white paper in front of them, blowing on it The Cubmaster comes on stage, scratches his head, and asks what they are doing. They reply that they are practicing for the Raingutter Regatta. All leave stage.
Things that make you go Hmm:

- If you put a sheet over your head and go Trick or Treating, are you a ghost or a mattress?

Knot Demonstration
Long Beach Area, Verdugo Hills, San Gabriel Valley Councils
A person comes out with a length of rope. He proceeds to give a knot demonstration some of which do not turn out the way he expects. He has creative and imaginative names for his knots such as the double hitch back loop tie, clove hitch with a triple loop bight, etc. The last knot he ties is one that he says that a person can't loosen. The more they try to loosen the knot the more it tightens. He announces he is going to demonstrate a temporary version of this knot around his neck. He pulls on the knot when he is finishes and exclaims, "Oh no, I've tied the wrong knot, I've tied the permanent version, and leaves the stage choking.
