Woggle World! Page 2 of my crafty woggles collection!

More fun craft slides from across the USA. Thanks to all who have contributed their ideas.

This slide was featured on the 1997 Boy Scout National Jamboree Page. All photos were taken by Bruce McDowell and his staff. Thanks a ton folks!
This beaded slide is worn by Reid Schelhous of Pikes Peak Council from Colorado Springs.

Another slide from the 1997 Boy Scout National Jamboree Page!
I carved this slide from a white tail deer antler. I cut a section near the base using a coping saw, then drilled out the bone marrow using my dremmel tool. Three coats of varnish brought a really nice sheen. The boys love this slide!

A great slide made from an empty shotgun shell. Thanks a ton to Steve Tobin, of Troop 39, Cannon Falls, Minnesota, for this contribution. Click here for detailed instructions.
A cool woggle from Gerald Collogan. Check out Crafty Woggle Page 3 for a ton of Gerald's creative creations!
Another great woggle from Gerald Collogan. You can take any camp patch, glue it to a bendable board, tie it off with string, and create a memorable slide.

A neat idea from Cub Pack 114's Craft and Game Page. "Paint the canister white with a red cross on the front. Attach a curtain ring to the back side of the canister for the neckerchief to slide through. Fill the cannister with useful first aid items: adhesive bandage, tylenol wrapped in foil, antiseptic ointment, alcohol wipe, safety pins, coins for telephone call, and emergency phone numbers."

Another fun idea from Pack 114's Page.
"These are actually "Stressed Out" neckerchief slides, more appropriate for leaders, but fun for the boys to make too. Get some telephone cable. Cut a 2 foot length, remove the conduit and any "wrapping" string so you have just the many colored wires. Select 3, 4 or 5 of these wires and align them into one bunch so the ends are even. Bend this mass of wires around your index finger (so the ends are even) and make a couple tight twists (i.e. like twisting a twist-tie around the bread wrapper). The "hole" formed is the part your neckerchief ends will slide through. Then, using an unsharpened pencil (or something else about that diameter), start wrapping each wire around the pencil (keep the loops tight - close together) into little corkscrews. Repeat this for each end of wire. You will create a "springy" neckerchief slide whose corkscrews can be adjusted to match your level of stress!"

Here are some neat slides from Phil Gandron of New York. He's had some fun crafting some neat slides from ordinary branches, wooden nickels, and metal buttons.

Phil created these slides by hollowing out birch branches. He's varnished them, then nailed Scout hiking staff medallions to a few. These could be used to commemorate a hike, campout, or special event. Cool Phil!

More branch woggles from Phil's collection. Your Scouts can use different types of wood, with different bark, to remember different adventures.

Phil took a wooden nickel, a little leather lace, and voila! Instant neckerchief slide. The same could be done with just about any wood disk.

An assortment of Phil's woggles. He fashions loops from the removable plastic strip from those big old water cooler bottles. A staple to create the loop and a little hot glue to secure it to the back of the pin is all it takes to create a neat slide.
