Plan this in DenBuddy Customize or modify

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

Demonstrate sign, salute, handshake and when each is used. Then call them rapid-fire while scouts

run around. Add decoys ("high five!"). Finish with each scout shaking a leader's hand correctly.
