Games: Boy Scout Stunts

Some "fun stunts" for boy scouts, taken from an olde timey book. "Admiral Poof" sounds a little dubious. There is also a section on Ventriloquism. Important caveat:
"The first idea which the would-be ventriloquist has to dismiss from his mind is that, by following out a stated course of exercises, he will be able to "throw" his voice or, in other words, to upset the equanimity of peaceable old gentlemen snoring quietly in the furthest corner of the railway carriage - or ruffle the temper of some aged lady by producing facetious remarks concerning her appearance from a long distance away; not that those who approach this subject have any particular desire to be a disturbing influence to other people, but it is safe to say that more take up ventriloquism with the idea of practical joking than for any other purpose."
