Make sure the boys have plenty of room to move around. The leader should read it in a slow monotone at first while letting the boys go through the motions. Then try it in the sing-songy rhythm a little faster. Continue, repeating it faster and faster!
Hands on your hips, hands on your knees,
Put them behind you, if you please.Touch your shoulders, touch your nose
Touch your ears, touch your toes.Raise your hands high in the air,
At your sides, on your hair.Raise your hands as before,
While you clap: one, two, three, four.Your hands upon your head you place,
On your shoulders, on your face.Then you raise them up on high,
And make your fingers quickly fly.Then you put them in front of you,
And quietly clap: one, two; one two!
The three-point design of the top half is like the north point of an old sailor's compass. This shows that a Scout is able to point the right way in life as truly as the compass points it in the field. | ||||
The three points are like the three fingers used in the Scout sign. They stand for the three parts of the Scout Oath: duty to God & country; duty to others; duty to yourself. | ||||
The two stars stand for truth and knowledge of the Scouting movement. They guide you by night and suggest a Scout's outdoor life. | ||||
The shield or national emblem of the US stands for freedom and readiness to defend that freedom. | ||||
The scroll is turned up at the ends to suggest the corners of a Scout's mouth raised in a smile as he does his duty. The Scout motto is printed across the scroll. | ||||
The knot attached to the bottom of the scroll is to remind you that as a Boy Scout, you promise to do a good turn daily. |
