You can do it – Here's how!
Year: 2011
This is a favorite among kids:
You’ll need:
String the beads, and arrange so that each bead sits in a cavity in the tray. Add water, don’t overfill. Freeze.
When frozen remove and tie around your neck. Ahhh.

1. Remove the legs Place the chicken breast side up on a solid cutting board. Pull one leg away from the body and cut through the skin between the body and both sides of the thigh.Bend the whole leg firmly away from the body until the ball of the thighbone pops from the hip socket. Cut between the ball and the socket to separate the leg. Repeat with the other leg. |
 |
2. Divide The Legs Place the chicken legskin side down on the cutting board. Cut down firmly through the joint between the drumstick and the thigh. |
 |
3. Remove The Wings With chicken on it’s back, remove wing by cutting inside of wing just over joint. Pull wing away from body and cut from down through the skin and the joint. Repeat with the other wing. |
 |
4. Cut Carcass in Half Cut through the cavity of the bird from the tail end and slice through the thin area around the shoulder joint. Cut parallel to the backbone and slice the bones of the rib cage. Repeat on the opposite side of the backbone. |
 |
5. Remove The Breast Pull apart the breast and the back. Cut down trough the shoulder bones to detach the breast from the back. Cut the back into two pieces by cutting across the backbone where the ribs end. |
 |
6. Cut Breast In Half You may leave the breast whole if your recipe requires. To cut in in half, use a strong, steady pressure and cut downward along the length of the breastbone to separate the breast into two pieces. |
1. Commit
Begin by making a commitment — a conscious decision — to remember people’s names.
2. Concentrate
You can only remember what you observe in the first place. If you are distracted or if you aren’t paying attention, you won’t register the person’s name so you can’t possibly remember it. Concentrate, then, on 1) paying attention to the person’s name when you first hear it, and 2) forming an impression of the person.
3. Repeat
Repetition helps engrave the name in your memory.
- Use the name immediately.
- Repeat it silently to yourself.
- Comment on the name, if possible.
- Use it occasionally in the conversation without overdoing it.
- Use it when leaving.
- Write it down afterwards.
4. Associate
Try to make an association between the person’s face and an image the name suggests. If you exaggerate the image — make it larger, say — and give it movement — have it slam into some feature of the person’s face, for example — you will make the image even more memorable.

Scout Idea: have your scouts make the craft and write out the poem to keep.
They then tie a knot in the string every time they do a good deed.
This saucy creature is a mouse
Most mothers won’t let one in the house
See, this one it has quite a tail,
Each scout made one without fail.
Take it home and help all week,
and for good turns you must seek
for every good turn that you do
tie a knot in the string…make quite a few.
Remember why each knot you tied
and how much to help you really tried
and then next week, please take your turn
to tell us all, so we can learn…
just what you did to help at home
a ready helper you have grown!
