right arm crossed over left.

First Scout in line asks:        "IS IT TIME YET?" -
Second Scout asks third, etc down the line.

Last Scout says:                 "NO"
Word is passed back to the first Scout, one Scout at a time.

After a lonnnnnnnng pause,

First Scout asks:                "IS IT TIME YET?"
It goes down the line as before.

Last Scout says:                 "NO"
Again and the word  is passed back.

Another long pause...............

First Scout asks again: "IS IT TIME YET?"
etc and,

Last Scout says:                 "YES"
the answer is passed back.
Just after the first Scout gets the word, they all change to
right foot over left and left arm over right.
