Sponge Ball Tic Tac Toe
Land 3 balls in a diagonal, vertical or horizontal line. Cut a 12" x 12" x 12" cardboard box down to 4" in height. Keep extra cardboard. Cut four strips of cardboard 11 3/4" x 3". These will be used to make the squares for the balls to

land in. Interlock the four strips of cardboard and place inside box as shown in the picture. Using the extra cardboard, cut three 12" x 8" pieces and slide each piece down into the box along each side, leaving the front side open. Bend each panel. Cut triangular pieces to fit into the corners between the panels and
tape them to the panels. This will keep the balls inside the box and will also hold the top pieces in place at an angle. Using a marker or crayon, label the game as
shown in the picture and have fun! Player is given 4 sponge balls to throw in the box. To be a winner, 3 balls must land in either a diagonal, vertical or horizontal line. Adjust distance from the target according to the age level of the player.
Variation: A play area can be very easy to make and set up as a substitute for creating a box. Simply lay down tape on carpet or hard floor for the squares.

Ticket Line
Fans are standing in line waiting to buy tickets for the football game. Four fans are standing inline, saying how much they want to attend the game and wondering when the ticket window isgoing to open to sell tickets. A person walks up to the front of the line. The fans get upset tellinghim to not butt in line and to go to the end of the line and began to show him back. This persontries once more to reach the front of the line and then gives up and says something to the effect;“I’m giving up, they can get someone else to open this ticket window.
7:46 Advancement Ceremony
Ceremony Awards Backwards (Backwards Awards Ceremony)
YorkAdams Area Council
This award ceremony will be a challenge to anyone who conducts it. Therefore, it is short and to the point. The best advice is to practice it, practice it, and practice it. Then, make sure you have a cheat-sheet with you when you try to conduct it. (You might decide to have an “interpreter” who, in a quieter voice, repeats each line “front wards” after the Awards Chairman has said it backwards.)
“Scouts Cub our of accomplishments the celebrate we tonight.”
“Tonight are they where get to hard very worked have they.”
“Bobcat of level the for requirements eight the completed have who Cubs [number] have we.”
“Parents their with up come boys the would.”

I’m A Scout
Sam Houston Area Council
Tune – I’m a Little Teapot
I’m a little Tiger Scout, honestly,
And I have my parents, they’re helping me.
I’m a bigger Wolf Cub, with loyalty,
‘Cause my den leader is helping me.
Now I’m a Bear Cub, don’t you know,
And then next year I’ll be Webelos.
I’m a Webelos Scout, have no doubt,
And I can’t wait to be a Boy Scout
What a Game!
