There are two different starting formations for Scoot Chain Thru. Parallel Waves is the most common starting formation. Therefore, be careful when starting from a 1/4 Tag formation since the call feels different.
From a 1/4 Tag, everyone does the 'Trailers part' as if they started from Parallel Waves. Be sure to end in a 3/4 Tag formation: Centers reform the center Wave, and Outsides slide together to form a Couple.
When the starting formation is Left-handed, be sure to do the Left-hand version of the call, ending in a Left-hand formation.
Scoot Chain Thru is often cued as "Extend, Swing Thru, Turn Thru".
Only the original Leaders from Parallel Waves can Roll.
