Eagle Applause: Flap arms like wings and make an eagle noise. (I bet the boys will know exactly what sound to make!) (But in case they don’t, say “Cree, Cree” and elongate the “ee” sound.)
Old Glory Applause: Hand out small flags to everyone at the start of the pack meeting. Each time an applause is in order, they wave their flags. Then add a patriotic shout, such as “We love America,” or “U.S.A., U.S.A! U.S.A!” or “By the Rockets Red Glare!”
Rocket Cheer: Have everyone stand and hold their arms straight up, clasping their hands together over their heads to form an arrow shape. On the count of “3 – 2- 1 – Blastoff!”
Rocket Cheer #2: Everyone stands and with clenched fist held high they holler, “The Sky’s the Limit. We can Do Anything! Boom! Boom! Boom!”
Rocket Cheer #3: Everyone stands and puts their hands out to the sides like a penguin. Then twirl in a circle and say “Oops, we never made it off the ground! Sputter. Sputter. Maybe Next Time!”
Firecracker Cheer: Everyone stands. Grab imaginary match from back pocket, and light imaginary firecracker held in the other hand. Then throw it on the ground and dance around while clapping hands to mimic the sound of firecrackers exploding.
Flag Cheer: Pretend to raise the flag by alternately raising hands over the head and “grasping” the ropeto pull up the flag. Then stand back, salute and say “Ahhh!”
Patriotic Cheer: Shout “U.S.A!” and thrust hand with doubled up fist skyward while shouting “Hooray for the Red, White and Blue!” or “Onward and Upward!”
Fireworks Cheer: Everyone stands, points upward and shouts, “Skyrocket! Whee!” (then whistle), then yell “Boom! Boom!”
RUN-ONS

What’s up there?
One Cub Scout enters, then looks up in the sky.
Another Cub enters, looks at the first Cub Scout, then also looks up in the sky.
This continues till the last boy available.
The last boy comes in, sees everyone looking up, looks up himself and says, “What are you looking at – a spaceship – some fireworks?”
First Cub Scout replies – “Oh, I just have a stiff neck!!”
All the other Cub Scouts walk off in disgust.
