( c ) TAKE PART IN A LOCAL FOLK DANCE, OR
SING A LOCAL FOLK SONG
Most Cub Scouts in the Bahamas know some rake
and scrape and Calypso, especially the hit tunes
played at Festival time.
If you are going to perform with another Cub, or a
group, have a practice first, both with the dance and
the song. If you have to learn the words, take a line at
a time.

5. SAFETY ON THE ROADS

( a ) KNOW THE CORRECT WAY TO CROSS A ROAD WHEN:
THERE IS NO PEDESTRIAN CROSSING
Wait at the curb-side, look to the right-this is the direction that the traffic
will be coming from- then look left and then right again. If the road is
clear, cross quickly, not as if you are dreaming. If the traffic is heavy, wait
for a driver to stop to allow you to cross, or for a Police or an adult to help
you. Do not try to cross at busy road junctions and round-about. Do not
just step into the road and expect the traffic to stop, it may not be able to
stop in time.

THERE IS A PEDESTRIAN CROSSING
Where there is a Pedestrian Crossing with
white lines, you have the right-of-way over
traffic once you are on the crossing. But, do
not just step onto the crossing as the traffic
may not be able to stop, or they might not
have even seen you. As with on crossings
wait for the traffic to stop.
THERE IS A PREDESTRIAN CROSSING AT
THE TRAFFIC LIGHTS
When a crossing is controlled by traffic
lights and has a pedestrian light, wait for the
pedestrian light to indicate “Walk”. When
there is no pedestrian light wait for the traffic
lights on your road to turn to red and then
cross quickly. Never cross on the green light.

( b ) SHOW THE CORRECT WAY TO WAIT FOR, GET ON AND GET OFF A
VEHICLE
When waiting for a vehicle keep on the pavement or as close to the side of
the road as you can. Do not wait on or near a corner, at a junction with another
road or on or near a roundabout.
