Besides the creatures in the seas and the animals walking the land, we have creatures with wings. Cub Scout #1: B stands for beauty. Some birds live near man. Look around and see them if you can. In your yard or on the street, listen and you can hear them so sweet. Cub Scout #2: The blue jay, the robin, some others too, Are birds of beauty for us to view. Displaying a magnificent rainbow, As they put on a beautiful strutting show. Cub Scout #3: The farmer raises birds for us to eat - The chickens, ducks, turkeys are a treat. Besides, how could we have scrambled eggs and more If these birds didn't do their laying chore? Cub Scout #4: There are many different kinds of birds in our land If you wish to see them, look to the sky to see them fly by. Over the mountains, cities, farms, valleys, and lakes, To see them, just keep your eyes open, that's all it takes. Cubmaster or Den Leader: Will everyone please stand and join with me in saying the Pledge of Allegiance.

14 General Wood Instructions Sanding The rule of sanding is Never across the grain. 1. Do not tear sandpaper. If you do, the ragged edges will often scratch the wood surface. 2. For flat surfaces, wrap a piece of sandpaper around a block of wood or use a store bought holder. Start with a coarse grade of paper and finish with a fine grade of paper(not included). 3. Be consistent. Do not sand one area with fine and another with coarse grade. Staining 1. Be sure the wood surface is smooth and clean. Stains can accentuate any roughness or scratches of cross grain sanding. Wipe off any dirt or dust with a soft cloth. 2. A base coat of sealer/primer and a light sanding before applying stain will insure a uniform stain. 3. Apply stains in one direction following the wood grain. Use a soft brush or foam brush. Let the stain penetrate the wood, then wipe off excess stain with a soft cloth. 4. If stain looks too dark, dampen the cloth with water/thinner and wipe until you achieve the desired color. If stain is too light, let dry, then apply another coat of stain and wipe off. Finishes 1. Outdoor projects may be finished with polyurethane or varnish. These are toxic and must be used in a well ventilated area. Indoor projects may be finished with decoupage or left unfinished. Safety First! This Product May Contain Silicon Gel Packets.
