THE SCOUTING LADDER
Equipment: Ladder with cards with keywords on each rung facing toward
the audience and a pointer.
As each boy reads his part have him point to the keyword on the ladder with
the pointer, the pass it to the next boy. The narrator could be a pack or den
leader, a den chief, or another boy. After the ceremony present awards to the boys.
