Ted: You guys will be happy to hear that for the Scoutmaster Surprise we are going to spend a whole day at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland.

Eddie: What?! That’s so lame. Why can’t we do something fun like go to an amusement park or something??

The rest of the Scouts are surprised by Eddie’s (planned) outburst, and while they don’t want to apppear be going against Ted's idea it’s obvious they all agee with Eddie.

Ted: So you guys would rather spend a day at an amusement park rather than the rnrhf?

Scouts: (sensing opportunity) Yes!!

Ted: Since Jamin is in charge I guess we’ll leave it up to him to decide. What do you think Jamin?

Jamin: (with much lobbying from the scouts happening), Well, I do agree with Eddie, the amusement park does sound more fun.

Much cheering from the scouts.

Ted: Well, I remember hearing of some place in Ohio called something like Cedar Place, or Point, that’s supposed to be the roller coaster capital of the world. Do younguys want to go there?

Scouts: YES!!!!

Ted: okay then. I remember a nice campground from when my Troop in Ohio used to camp around there that we could stay at......

Eddie: I’m tired of camping! Why can’t we stay at a hotel for once??

Scouts: (thinking that Ted would never allow that), kind of mumble agreement.

Ted: well, since Jamin is in charge he’d have to make that decision.

Very surprised scouts start immediately lobbying Jamin to agree.

Jamin: (appearing reluctant), well, as much as I like camping in tents, we’ve done so for 12 days and sleeping in a hotel wouldn’t hurt.

Scouts: Yay!!!!!!!

There was a lot more to it, but that gives you an idea how it went. Most of the scouts actually thought they got Ted to switch from the rnrhf to Cedar Point. Never mind that we had all the tickets already in the Tedmobile and reservations made at the hotel.

It was a lot of fun, and Eddie and Jamin played their parts perfectly.
