Wow. I'm not sure I'd recommend galvanized strapping as an electrical connection to a cub scout hooking up flashlight batterires and light bulbs, much less 120V. Not out of safety concerns but out of concern that they'd get frustrated and give up because of the crappiness of the whole concept.

Copper tape is available in a number of widths. But I'm 100% sure it doesn't meet any code when put on wood.
