How to Make Cub Scout Puddle Jumpers (7 Steps)

Size the soup cans to your foot. The top of the soup can is where you are going to place your foot. This means you probably want to skip the 16-ounce. soup cans and opt for the 32- or 64-ounce cans. Gently rest your feet on top of each soup can to make sure it fits.
Remove the contents of each soup can. If you are performing this project at a den meeting, then you serve the soup as a snack later on by transferring it to a pan now. If you are performing the task at home, then you will want to place the soup in a sealed container so it can be eaten at another time. Make a hole on each side of the can using your punch can opener and drain the contents. Repeat on the second can.
Rinse out your soup cans. Pour water into the cans, swish it around and empty it so the inside of each can is clean. This will stop the smell of spoiled food should you hang onto your puddle jumpers in the future.
Cut a piece of rope 3 to 4 feet long. The length will depend on your height. The taller you are, the more slack you will need. To measure, stand on your soup cans, thread one end of the rope through both holes on one soup can and grab both the attached and unattached end of the rope with hand. It should feel comfortable for you to hold the rope so that you are not bent over or leaning forward in any way. Cut the attached half of the rope in your hand.
Place the rope you just cut against the rest of the rope supply. Because your legs are the same height you can use the first piece of rope to measure how long you need the second piece of rope to be. You should now have two pieces of rope that are equal in length.
Thread one piece of rope through both holes on each can.
Stand on both cans and grab the ropes. As you pull up with both hands, you should be able to take a step forward. The tension in each rope will keep the can, or puddle jumper, attached to the base of your foot. You can now high-step over every puddle in sight.
