If ye be a true Pirate, ye must follow this map to the treasure. But ye must complete the challenges that lay before ye! But BEWARES! There be pirates about! You never know when ye might be attacked by pirates and lose a leg, or a hand, or an eeeyyyyyyeeee! YARRGHH!!!

1)    ROPE CLIMB: (start Will & Elizabeth)

The first challenge is to get onto the ship by way of Jacob’s Ladder (must have knife in the mouth) Boy climbs rope ladder to get the Blue bandana

PIRATE ATTACK!! (Start Skull & Crossbones)

After a short fight, boy is captured and ceremoniously loses a hand, gets a hook

(Blue Represents the spirit of cub scout pirating, the spirit of giving goodwill and doing ye best. Do ye promise to be the best pirate ye can be and live the cub promise?

2)    WASH THE DECK (Start Walk the Plank At 1:00)

Until ye gain rank, ye be nothing but a bilge rat, and ye get to wash the deck!

Boy cleans a dirtied-up section of the floor, and gets the White Bandana

PIRATE ATTACK!! (Start Skull & Crossbones)

Boy is captured again, and ceremoniously loses another hand, gets another hook

White represents the Scout Law. In all you do, do you promise to be forever Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful, Friendly, Courteous, Kind, Obedient, Cheerful, Thrifty, Brave, Clean and Reverent? (These not be very pirate traits, but alas...)

3)    FEED YE MATEYS! (Start Barbossa is Hungry)

Now ye be the ship’s cook, with two hooks as hands, ye must feed a fish to each of your mateys. BEWARES! If ye don’t feed them fast enough, they may get rowdy! Gets the yellow bandana after all are fed

PIRATE ATTACK!! (Start Skull & Crossbones)

Boy loses a leg, gets a pegleg (or some other pirate deformation)

Yellow represents the Capt Jack Sparrow of Light.  This is the symbol of the seven rays of the sun, one for each day of the week; this is to remind ye that every day is a new day : a day to Do Ye Best in everything:

A day to honor ye God and Country,
to do ye Good Turn,
a new chance to follow the Scout Law
and to remember these words: On My Honor

4)    WALK THE PLANK!! (Start Will & Elizabeth)

Boy must walk the plank with his pegleg while tentacles from the KRAKEN attempt to knock him down (boys lay on ground with heads toward the plank and wave foam noodles)  Boy gets Green bandana at the end

PIRATE ATTACK!! (Start Skull & Crossbones)

Boy is captured and humorously gets eye poked out by someone’s finger, gets eye patch

Green represents the beginning of your path to Eagle Scout, and ye must look forward to that goal as ye begin as a full fledged boy scout pirate

5)    DOUBLE HOOK  NOODLE EATING (Start One Last Shot at 0:28)

This test of skill has no real purpose, we just thought it be funny to watch ye struggle! Now eat the noodles, ye scurvy dog, before I run ye through!
