Brian,
The "Stress" Slide is easy to do quickly and requires only
telephone cable wires and a pencil or pen. There are instructions for a
couple of other simple slides described at:

http://www.creighton.edu/~bsteph/pack114/packcamp.html

Here are the Stress Slide instructions from that 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 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!
