So when the den leader sends them out to build a house the first cub
scout decides to build his with straw to save some time to be able to
play a little before bed. So after he is finished he is playing and
hears something approaching. As he sees the Headless Cubmaster
approach him he runs into his house to hide.
HEADLESS CUBMASTER: Little scout little scout let me have your head
to complete my WEBELOS training:
SCOUT ONE: No
HEADLESS CUBMASTER: Then I’ll burn your house down.
NARRATOR: As the house of straw is burning the scout jumps out the
window and runs to the 2nd scouts house of sticks. By this time the
second scout is whittling with his knife that he won in the popcorn
sales. Because he built his house of sticks he had a little time left
to play. As he sees his friend running toward him with the headless
cubmaster hot on his trail they both run into the house of sticks and
lock the door.

window and runs to the 3rd scouts house of brick. Because he had
