Let’s Get Acquainted

Council
This will
go great right after opening
before everyone sits down. CD
Have everyone shake hands with the person on his right,
then his left. Then tell everyone on the word “Go” to turn around and shake
hands with the person behind him. At this point, if everyone has followed
directions, there will be no one behind to greet, for he too, will have turned.
APPLAUSES & CHEERS
Southern NJ

FRIENDSHIP CHEER - Have your neighbor put his left
hand out to his side, and you clap it with your right hand; meanwhile you are
also holding out your left hand and your other neighbor is clapping with his
right hand, etc.
THUMBS UP - Hold out a hand at arms length; make a
fist with the thumb up. For variation add, “GREAT JOB!”
NEW PERSON CHEER - “Hi, there. Welcome, welcome,
WELCOME!”

GRAND CHEER - While sitting stomp feet four times,
slap knees four times, clap hands four times, stand up and yell HURRAH!
PACK CHEER - The Cubmaster says, Clap your hands
(everybody claps two times) “stomp your feet” (everybody stomps two times), then
everyone yells together “Pack _____ can’t be beat!”
I LIKE CUB SCOUTS -

Scouts; how about you?”

Heart of America Council
Bubble Gum Applause -
(Pantomime) Unwrap gum, stick gum in mouth, chew, then blow a bubble. Slap hands
together representing bubble popping.
Lollipop Clap - Tell
all you have a large lollypop, start licking it from the bottom to top,
"ummmmm."
Stamp
Collector's Applause - Hold left hand in front of you, palm up. Place first
two fingers of right hand to mouth as if licking stamp and then strike the palm
of your left hand smartly with them. Do this several times rapidly.
DYBS yell: DYBS means
“Do Your Best, Scouts” and is pronounced like 'dibs'. Leader raises his fist in
the air and brings it down hard each time ‘DYBS” is yelled. Number of DYBS given
is according to accomplishment.
That reminds me of the HOW Cheer
You can give someone a big How, or two or three -
According to the Commissioner Dave How Scale –
Three How’s is a perfect score. I almost never give three how’s
but very often award two and a half how’s.
That is yelled – How, How, Ugh.
Pack Cheer: “Clap your
hands, stamp your feet, Pack _____ can’t be beat!”
Bravo: The cheer leader
says, “That deserves a Bravo! We’ll do this in a circle.” He then proceeds to
have one end of the circle start with the ‘BRR’ sound and proceeds to point
around the circle while they do the ‘AVOOOO’ sound. The sound level should rise
as more of the circle starts yelling.
The Good Turn: Stand up
and turn around while clapping.
Heart and Soul Applause:
(For people who put their heart and soul into something.) Pat the palm of your
hand on your heart and then on the sole of one shoe.
Trapper Trails Council
Musical- Announce the name of a well known song such
as "Yankee Doodle" or "Dixie" and ask everyone to clap to its rhythm. For a
different finish, tell everyone to miss the last note. Someone is sure to
forget.
Big Hand-Leader says, "Let's give them a big hand!"
Everyone holds up one hand with palm open.
