Communication.

To be a Beagle Scout, you must master the art of nonverbal communication or expressing yourself without using words.

Your dog is waving at us from that island, Charlie Brown. "He is?" "Hi, Snoopy!" "Hi!" One form of nonverbal communication is Morse code, a form of code that uses short dots and long dashes to spell out letters. "Dot, dot, dot, dash, dash, dash, dot, dot, dot." "I didn't realize you know Morse code, Franklin." "Well, I know of it." "Good grief." "On the plus side, he's putting on quite a light show." "Snoopy, we don't understand!" Another form of nonverbal communication is semaphore, communicating over distance using flags. "Is he doing rhythmic gymnastics?" "When all else fails, there's always good old-fashioned charades." "Ooh, charades!" "Two words." "First word." "Eat." "Supper." "Second word." "Wristwatch?" "Oh, time!" "Oh, it's supper time and he needs us to come get him off that island." "Whoo-hoo!" "Why didn't you just say so?" "Ah!"
