Give each boy a piece of rope. At the signal, the first boy runs down to a rope lying on the ground, ties his piece to the end using a square knot or sheet bend, and returns. Each boy repeats in turn. The first team to successfully tie all pieces of rope together using correct knots wins. Each den member is given a 3-foot length of rope which he ties to his neighbor's with a square knot so that a circle is made.
Boys pull back on the line with their left hands and make the Cub Scout Sign with their right.
Now please join me in the Cub Scout Promise. The group sits in a circle with their hands behind their back. One person walks around the outside with a piece of rope. They select someone, place the rope in their hands and say a knot. They then continue around the circle.
