BALOO'S BUGLE Page 45Cub # 2: Altocumulus clouds are middle level clouds that are made of water droplets and appear gray and puffy.They frequently are in parallel waves or bands. This is like our Tigers as they learn to walk together inparallel rows in a parade and work together on a project by all going in the same direction.Cub # 3: Cirrus clouds are thin, wispy clouds blown by high winds into long streamers. They are considered "highclouds" forming above 20,000 ft. They generally mean fair to pleasant weather. These clouds resemble ourWolfs and Bears going higher blown along by the help of their parents.Cub # 4: Cumulonimbus clouds are very tall thunderstorm clouds that form ifcumulus congestus clouds continue to grow vertically. Their tops mayextend upward over 39,000 ft. They contain tremendous amounts ofenergy. Just like our Webelos who stand taller than the younger boys inthe pack and are full of energy because they are excited about becomingBoy Scouts and going camping and doing outdoor activities with a troop.Leader: Thank you. Now let us salute our flag which has one of the greatestconstellations, the stars representing our 50 states.AUDIENCE PARTICIPATIONS & STORIESThe Littlest SnowflakeThe Snow Fluff, Fluff, Fluff (softly with downward hand motion)The Ice Brr! Brr! Brrr! (hold arms around self to keep warm)Little Snowflake Wheeeeeee! (hands held straight up)The Wind Whooo! Whooo! Whooo! (arms up, sway back and forth)The Sun Ahhh! Ahhh! (arms held in circle over head)Legend has it that long ago in the winter time there was a happy LITTLE SNOWFLAKE. He was a jolly littlefellow, floating along on the WIND . . . scooting across the ICE . . . and generally having fun with all the otherSNOW. Now, the one guy that LITTLE SNOWFLAKE- didn’t care for was the SUN . . . cause he could melt himright away. One day, the WIND blew LITTLE SNOWFLAKE way up high in the trees and left him on a big fatlimb. This was fun, because below him he could see the SNOW as it gleamed and the ICE, as it glistened, Butthen it started to get warm. And it got warmer and warmer, but there LITTLE SNOWFLAKE sat all by hislonesome self The WIND was having a --. good time blowing all the rest of the SNOW around. The SUNcontinued to shine down on the ICE and make it shine like a mirror. Now, LITTLE SNOWFLAKE was reallystarting to get worried because the SUN was starting to melt him and before long he would be ICE and not thehappy LITTLE SNOWFLAKE he had always been. Suddenly, the WIND, seeing the fix he was in, blew extra hardand picked up a whole bunch of SNOW... scooted it across the ICE and up into the tree where they all rescuedLITTLE SNOWFLAKE from the hot SUN. So the next time you are out and the WIND has blown some SNOWacross the ICE and into SUN, look extra hard and you just might see I friend, the happy LITTLE SNOWFLAKE!!Weather ObservationsRain: Drip, dripSun: Shine, shineClouds: Hi, Mr. SunWind: Blow, blowOne day the SUN… had a talk with the CLOUDS… and the WIND….
