Planning it in DenBuddy starts a new den meeting with this activity already on the agenda, so you can add an opening, a closing and whatever else the night needs.

How to run it

Scatter word cards at the far end. On "Do Your Best!" one scout at a time runs, grabs a card,

returns, and the team places it in order. Recite together at the end — twice, loud.

For Lion/Tiger dens the leader reads each line first and the scouts echo.
