Chapter four of the book " " , entitled " Cub Scout Projects with Puppets " , describes Henson ' s time as a Cub Scout in some detail . The book shares an extended story from Henson ’ s Scouting experience in which each of the Scouts in Henson ' s den was challenged to come up with , and carry out , a major project of his own invention . Henson , with the help of fellow Scout Gordon Jones , developed a distinctive comedy act . Jones told stories with his hands behind his back , while Henson , crouching behind Jones , supplied the latter ' s arm gestures by extending his own arms through his fellow Scout ' s armpits . The act was an instant success and showed Henson ' s early creative thinking , along with his tendencies to explore the boundaries of creative performing and puppetry techniques . Due to the response to Henson ' s hand act , the following year Henson was asked by the new Den leaders to help organize and lead the entire den in putting on a puppet show . Henson got the entire den involved in putting on the show , and many of his fellow Scouts say Henson " got his start working with puppets in Leland ’ s Cub Scouts " . Although nobody recalls what the shows , which featured homemade puppets , were about , everyone remembers the games that Jim and the Scouts played when they had free time .
