PROGRAM MODULE
How to use this guide

This guide was created as a resource for packs where traditional dens are just not possible either due to a lack of leadership (afterschool programs) or a lack of youth (rural and small packs). Afterschool Programs: The activities in this book are designed to be run by one program facilitator and one helper working with up to 20 youth. Since field trips are usually not available it is understood that not all requirements can be completed for a scout to complete his yearly advancement. The goal of our afterschool programs is to create lasting Scouting impressions and provide youth the opportunity to join traditional packs if they are interested. Please work with your supervisor to secure the necessary supplies needed for each weeks program. Always ask if materials need to be purchased before doing so. In most cases the Bay-Lakes Council has a stock of supplies designated for afterschool programming available for use when given enough notice. All boys that participate on a regular basis should earn their Bobcat badge at the end of the first semester. Once most of the boys have achieved this award hold an awards ceremony using the afterschool awards ceremony guide. Consider inviting parents to attend if in a position to do so. Traditional Programs: Smaller packs that do not have enough scouts to break into age specific dens will most likely have a better experience if they meet as a group. Each week requirements will be completed for each grade level and indicated at the end of the lesson. In most cases, for a scout to complete an achievement they will need to do additional requirements at home. At the end of each meeting share with the group the requirements covered in the meeting. It is then the responsibility of each adult partner to work with their scout to complete the requirements that need to be done at home. To complete each years program it is also required that the scouts participate in field trips or go see its. The recommended that these go see its be completed in the following order: After Week 3: Visit a Library, Museum, Old Farm, or Historical Building After Week 5: Visit the Fire Department or Police Department After Week 7: Take a hike After Week 8: Attend a Sporting event After Week 9: Visit a Television or Radio Station or Newspaper Office After Week 12: Pinewood Derby After Week 15: Attend a Concert, Play, or other Live Entertainment Event After Week 17: Visit a Nature Center or Zoo If the weeks are completed in order 1st graders will complete the Tiger badge after week 9, 2nd graders will complete the Wolf badge after week 13, and 3rd graders will complete the Bear badge after week 18. 4th and 5th graders will need to do significant work outside the meetings to complete the Webelos badge, but many requirements will be introduced during meetings.

Discussion: Communication Talk about the importance of communication amongst the scouts. Explain why it is important to have good communication with each other. Discussion: Ask: What is communication? (How we talk and write to each other . Is what youre saying clear?) What is body language? ( The way we stand or position ourselves. Do you slouch when youre standing?- Do you yawn when people are talking? ) Do your best is the Cub Scout motto. What do you think of when you think of Cub Scouting? (Uniforms, seeing them do flag ceremonies for special events, going camping, making campfires, tying knots, using scout knives, taking field trips) Which of these activities should be for older scouts? (Making campfires, using scout knives.)
Fun Activity: Tell it like it isnt Discussion Activity Materials needed: None
Have the boys form a line. Whisper a message to the first boy in line (Such as Scouting is Fun) He must then whisper it to the next boy and so on. The boy at the end of the line must say what he heard out loud. See how close it was to the original sentence. Take turns and play a few more times. Ask the boys what made this game easy or hard to play. Explain to them that cooperation also involves being able to communicate with one another. Fun Activity: Movers and Shakers
Activity
Materials needed: 1 empty, bottle, can or ball per group Divide boys into groups of 3 5. Set the can/ball on the floor. Have each group stand around their can/ball. Explain to the boys that they will have to pick up their can/ball and transport it to a designated area. Each boy in the group has to touch the can/ball at all times but may only use one finger! Remind the boys that this is not a contest between each group. The object is to work as a team to complete the quest. Afterward ask the following questions: Was this activity easy at first? What did you learn after your first attempt? If one person did not put their finger on it did it make a difference? When you work together, thats called cooperation. Can you think of other ways we can cooperate in Scouting? Fun Activity: Concentration
Activity
Activity
Materials needed: 1 rubber ball or softball The Den Leader will have a list of simple words (such as house, heart, bat, door, or cat) and throw the rubber ball to a scout, while shouting out a word.

Opening: Opening Truth, Truth & a Lie: Give the group some time to write down two things about themselves that are true, and one thing that is a lie. Each group member will then share these facts about themselves and the rest of the group has to figure out which fact is actually a lie.
Discussion-RESPECT
Ask the Scouts Ask the scouts what respect means to them. Ask for examples. Ask the scouts for examples of how they have been respectful or disrespectful in the past week. Discuss why acting respectful is important. Ask the scouts to give characteristics of people who are respectful. Ask them if this type of person would make a good friend. Ask each scout to give the scout beside them a compliment. Ask the scouts how getting a compliment makes them feel. Make a list of things people say who are respectful. Here are a few: please. Thank you. I appreciate that. May I hold the door? Pardon me. Im sorry I offended you. What would you do if an adult was disrespectful to you? Suppose the grown-up yelled at you for something you didnt do. What do you say? What do you do? Suppose your invited to your friends home for a family dinner. What are some ways you could show respect and courtesy when you first arrive? At their table? When you leave? Imagine that you are at a restaurant ordering food. What are some ways you could show respect to your waiter? What would you say if your order gets messed up?
Family Scrapbook Activity Materials needed: 3-prong folders, 3-hole punch, colored paper or construction paper, markers/ crayons, stickers or coloring books, tape, glue

Let scouts create their own family scrapbooks, Let them decorate the cover with stickers, cut-outs, or their own drawings. Fasten the paper into the book. On the first page ask the scouts to write My family, and then have them draw a picture of their family. Ask scouts to discuss with their adult partner other things they can include in the scrapbook.
Fun Activity: Land Mines Materials needed: Cones or bowling pins and blindfolds Place "mines" -- objects such as cones or bowling pins -- small distances apart, in a random fashion. Divide the scouts into pairs. In each pair, one person is blindfolded and left on one side of the mine field, and the other person -- the "guide" -- is at the other end and cannot enter the field. The activity consists of the "guide" calling out instructions to the blindfolded person to help her walk across the field, avoiding the "mines." On successful completion, the pair swaps roles, with the blindfolded person now becoming the "guide. " This activity creates trust and respect for the judgment of the guide."
Activity
Fun Activity: Table Soccer Activity Materials needed: table, 1 plastic straw per boy, 1 Ping-Pong ball (per table) Have an equal number of boys on each side of the table and give each a straw. Place the Ping-Pong ball in the center and on the command of Go, the boys use the straw to blow the ball off the other side of the table while protecting their side. Scoring: the team that blows the ball off the other side of the table receives two points for each goal shot. At the end of the predetermined time (20-25 mins), the team with the most points wins. This game requires cooperation of the members on each side.

International Games Ciupy - Poland

Equipment The equipment for this game is only 5 small round stones that if you put them in the palm of your hand the stones should easily fit. Players The number of players for this game is 2 or more. Basic Rules
17
There are 6 levels. The only way to win is to complete all 6 levels. When someone fails on a level he passes the stones and the next player starts his turn. When the player fails and gets his turn back he must start from the beginning of the level. He or she failed on. Advice When playing, play on a flat surface. When choosing amount of players choose no more than 4 per group because the people may get bored waiting for their turn. When playing with more players than 3 you might might want to start two games of Ciupy. You may find your five round rocks on the beach or even in your backyard.
How to play
Level 1 Spread the stones by putting them in your hand and let them roll down just like when using a dice. You pick 1 and only one stone, you throw it in the air and when it is in the air you try to pick up one stone. Once you have it you must be prepared for the stone in the air because you must catch it with the other stone in your hand. Once you catch the stone, put it aside. Repeat this with each stone. If you do not mess up any time, then you have finished level one. Level 2 Roll the stones just like in level 1, and pick a stone to throw up in the air. Once it is thrown you must quickly pick up 2 stones from the ground and catch the stone that you threw up. Put the 2 stones aside and repeat with the two other pair. Level 3 Very similar to level 1 and 2. The only difference: first time pick up one stone. Second time pick up 3. Level 4 Keep all 5 stones in your hand. Throw one - put the other 4 on the ground and catch the stone that you threw. Throw your stone again - pick up all 4. Don't forget to catch the one that is in the air. Level 5 This level is very hard. You are throwing all 5 stones at once. Turn quickly your hand so at a least few of the stones land on the top of your hand. Then drop the stones between your fingers except one. Throw this stone - pick up all 4 stones and catch the stone that was thrown in the air . Uff! Level 6 Similar to level 1 but instead of putting aside the picked up stones, keep them in the palm of your hand while throwing and catching the others.
Dominoes - Italy
Number of Players
Two or more people.
18
Equipment
Oblong Blocks called Dominoes or Pieces.
How to Play 1. Put the dominoes face down on the floor and shuffle them. 2. Each player picks eighteen dominoes and starts by placing one in the middle of the floor. 3. The face of each piece is divided into two squares each square has some dots on it. You have to keep adding on more dominoes. For example if one domino piece has six dots on one side you add another piece to it that has six dots.
4. You keep going till one of the players is out of dominoes, that player is the winner. 5. If you don't have a piece that you can add on then you have to take two more dominoes pieces. Another way to play
Once one player has put down all their pieces everybody else counts the amount of dots on their remaining Dominoes, then you add all the dots together "Each dot is worth on point," then you give all the points to the winner, you keep playing more rounds until one player has 500 points.
Ampe - Ghana
Number of Players
10-12 children
Recommended ages
8-12
Origin
This game comes from Ghana. It is a game that helps with coordination and agility. (Great for P.E.)
How to Play 1. Choose one player to be the leader, and the others stand in a semicircle, with the leader facing the player at either end of the
group.
2. The leader and the player both clap hands. Then they jump in place at the same time. Then they jump and thrust one foot forward.
3. If the two have put the same foot forward, the leader is out and the player takes her place. If they have thrust a different feet
forward, the leader moves to the next player and the same routine begins. A point is scored every time the leader is successful. Every player takes a turn as a leader. The one who scores the most points wins.
Chigora Danda - Zimbabwe

Origin
19
This game was attributed to Zimbabwe, but it's thought it may have originally come from India because in one of the country's languages danda means "pole" or a "long stick" and there is a game there called Guli Danda. However, the rhythmic tapping and the clapping of Chigoro Danda is African.
How to Play 1. The players alternate so that three play each game. 2. Place two of the poles (4 to 5 feet long) on the ground parallel to each other, 4 feet apart. The third pole is laid across the
middle of the poles. Two players sit at each end of the cross bar, and the third is in the middle, straddling and the cross pole.
3. The two seated players lift the cross pole up and down, tapping the parallel poles. The surrounding players clap, and a rhythm
is established. Start very slowly.
4. The third player hops off. 5. The raising and a lowering of the clapping and hopping increase in speed. The game ends when the third player fails to hop on
the cross pole. The players rotate so everyone has a turn hopping and manipulating the cross pole. Someone can time how long the third player stays in each game, but probably more useful to have each player keep count. (An adult supervisor can help make sure the game doesn't become fast-paced enough to cause an injury.)
Number of Players
2 players
Ram, Ram, Rip - Malaysia
How to Play 1. 1 player holds out hand, palm up. 2. The other player places his/her index fingers in hand.

Foot Game - Indonesia

Number of Players
2 or more; individuals; informal Activity: contest; balance; strength
How to Play
Each player selects a smooth stone, one around which he or she can curl his or her toes. A starting line is drawn and one by one the players throw the stones from between the toes, as far as possible. The losing player has to carry the winning player piggyback from the starting line to the winning stone.

What do you do before you leave your house? Turn off all the lights, and make sure all doors and windows are locked. What do you do if you are at the mall with your parents and you get lost? Ask a security guard or store clerk for help. Do not wander the mall by yourself. There is a water accident: A boat overturns and you are in it! Dont Panic! Grab onto the boat and stay with it. DO NOT try to swim ashore. Make sure everyone else you were boating with does the same. Wait for help to arrive.
Discussion
Opening
A family member needs help because their clothes have caught on fire: Stop them from panicking and running! Running will make the flames spread. Force them to the floor and roll them over to smother the flames. Wrap them in a rug, or blanket. If you cant catch them, tell them to STOP, DROP, and ROLL. Have them cover their face so the flames dont burn them. There is a school bus/car accident If there is a bus accident, follow the directions from the bus driver. Stay calm and use the emergency exits. Move to the side of the road away from traffic. If there is a car accident, remember to be calm and do what the adult driver tells you to do. All passengers should get out of the car and away from traffic.

Fun Activity: Fire Escape Plan Activity Materials needed: 1 fire escape plan sheet per boy
27
Encourage the boys to check their home for fire hazards and practice a fire drill with their family. They can share the results of their drill at the next meeting. Using the Family Escape Plan practice sheet, have the boys design an escape route for their meeting place or home to use in case of a fire. Using a red marker, have the boys draw flames in different areas of their escape plan. Ask the boys to explain what they would do depending on where the flames are on their route. Review that fire plan that is already on the wall of your meeting place.
Fun Activity: Help list cards Materials needed: 1 help list card for each boy Explain that it is important to always be prepared incase of an emergency. Tell them they need to know how to get help incase something goes wrong and they are home alone. Pass a red help list out to each boy and have him fill in the phone numbers that he knows. Tell them to take their help lists home and have their parents help them fill out the rest. Encourage the boys to post their help list near a phone in their home. (Magnets can be added to cards so they can be posted on the refrigerator)
Activity Activity
Fun Activity: Fingerprint cards Materials needed: 1 fingerprint card per boy, ink pads Police look for fingerprints at the scene of a crime so that when they arrest someone they can compare that persons prints against the ones found at the crime scene. If the prints match it proves the person was there, because everyone has different finger prints. Have the boys make fingerprints in the appropriate boxes. Ask them to compare their prints. What differences do they see? They need to press straight down on the paper so they do not smear their prints. Be sure to have them wash their hands afterward.
Fun Activity: Pressure Pad Relay Materials needed: 2-3 neckerchiefs Teams line up in relay formation with one scout acting as victim and sitting in front of his team 30 feet away. The first scout on each team runs to the victim, asks what is wrong, and applies his neckerchief folded into a pressure pad where indicated. When the judge sees that the pad is correct, he calls out "Cured!". The scout removes the pad and becomes the next bleeding victim. The previous victim runs back to touch the next member of his team and the new rescuer puts on the neckerchef/.This continues until all on the team have been victim and rescuer.

Theme for this meeting: Staying Healthy

Before Meeting Before Meeting: Arrange room and gather supplies as needed Lay out the attendance sheet with pencil/pen.
Special Notes & Required Materials Use the Food Guide Pyramid as a reference tool. Go to http://kidshealth.org or www. foodpyramid.com to the find an updated version of the Food Pyramid. For additional information on healthy eating & living visit: www.choosemyplate.gov Materials Needed: copies of food pyramid worksheet, writing materials, markers/crayons, notecards, tape, foods with nutritional labels
Opening: Opening Ask the scouts to run laps or in run in place for 2 minutes. Teach the Scouts check their pulse rate. Ask the Scouts to press the first two fingers of one hand over the radial artery in the opposite wrist. The radial artery is located under the depression just below the base of your wrist. Sit quietly and move your fingers until you can feel the pulse of your blood. Using a watch or clock with a second hand, count the number of beats in 10 seconds. Multiply by 6. Now you know the number of beats per minute.
Lets talk about having good health habits. What does fitness mean? Being healthy and in good physical and mental shape. To be fit you must take care of your body including good hygiene, eating well, exercising, and avoiding drugs. Ask the scouts the questions below: Why is it important to be healthy, clean, and fit? When is it difficult for you to stick with good health habits? Where can you go to be with others who encourage you to be healthy, clean and fit? The heart is an important muscle that sends blood all around your body. It works like a pump by receiving blood from the body and pumping it to your lungs, and then receiving blood from your lungs and pumping it out to the body. When you run around a lot your heart beats faster because your body needs more oxygenfilled blood. You can check your pulse by pressing on the side of your neck or inside your wrist just below your thumb. Activity

Discussion
What are the bad effects of smoking or chewing tobacco? It causes lung cancer, heart disease, and other ailments. It reduces a persons ability to breathe deeply. Athletes who smoke cannot play as hard or as long as those who dont. Smoke may irritate the eyes, making them red and sore. Smoke stains teeth and fingers. Chewing tobacco is as dangerous as smoking. Tobacco can damage the delicate tissues of your mouth. It causes diseases and stains your teeth. How could alcohol affect you? Alcohol slows down the brain and body. It destroys balance. It may make a person see double or even pass out. Alcohol makes some people do bad things they would never consider doing when they are sober. Drunk drivers are responsible for thousands of deaths every year. What are four reasons you should not use alcohol? What could drugs do to your body? Drugs make people drowsy or make people feel awake, active. Sometimes people cannot relax; so it is hard to know what is real and what is not. Overdoses can kill a person. How could they affect your ability to think clearly? Some drugs are prescribed to you by doctors to ease pain or relieve symptoms of disease, but prescription drugs are dangerous if they are misused. You should never take a prescription drug unless it is prescribed for you by a doctor. All other drugs are dangerous for you-whether they have been legally prescribed for someone else or sold illegally on the street.
How to plan meals: To be successful in planning meals you must know about the food guide pyramid, and serving sizes. Discussion
34
*Encourage the boys to do the following things at home with their families: prepare your own breakfast or family meal. Ask the scouts to track their meal for a week to help them see if they can identify healthy eating habits. After completing the food pyramid activity discuss with the scouts the elements of a properly planned meal. Use the discussion guide at the end of the lesson plan for reference. For a visual, bring in some common food items and show the scouts the nutritional label (cereal, candy bar, etc.)
Activity Summary: Food Guide Pyramid Materials needed: 1 worksheet per boy, writing materials, markers or crayons Tell the boys that by using the pyramid as a guide, they can plan a balanced diet that includes protein, vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates and fiber. Activity Have the boys write or draw pictures of what goes into each section of the food guide pyramid. This pyramid is very different from the old one that many of us are used to because it has added exercise. It also has a section for oils. Make sure to explain to boys that oils are not a food group but you do need some oils for good health. Some examples of oils include: oil from fish, nuts, and liquid oils such as corn, soybean, and canola oil. Discuss the difference between healthy snacks and junk food. On the back of your poster board (or on the chalk board) have the boys help you list types of food that fit into the categories Healthy and Junk foods.
Activity
Fun Activity: Human Taco Materials needed: 1 pack of notecards, tape & markers Stick labeled note card (with taco ingredient) on the back of everyones shirt. (i.e. the word meat printed on a note card) Have each player mingle around asking yes/no questions to find out the taco ingredient that is on their back. Explain the correct order of ingredients in a Human Taco: shell, meat, cheese, lettuce, tomato, salsa and then give the start command, Im hungry! Lets eat! Each individual must find out which ingredient they are and then find enough to form a complete Human Taco. After the activity ask the scouts to identify which food category each ingredient should go in.

Theme for this meeting: Nature

Before the meeting Before Meeting: Arrange room and gather supplies as needed Lay out the attendance sheet with pencil/pen.
Special Notes and Required Materials: Remember Trash Bags, old nylons/pantyhose, saw dust, grass seed, rubber bands (1 per boy), permanent markers, Styrofoam or plastic plates (1 per boy) What things have people done to show a lack of respect to our world? (litter, pollute, etc) Why is it important to respect our environment and natural resources? (Our world is the only one we have; if we destroy it we are destroying our home) How can you show respect for your environment? (Pick up trash, dont pollute, recycle, conserve energy)
Discussion
How do you feel when you see places in your neighborhood that have lots of litter? What are some ways that land, air, and water can get dirty? (Littering, air pollution, etc) Besides recycling there are other ways to save energy, can you think of any? (Dont litter, turn off lights to conserve energy, conserve water, car pool, walk, or ride bikes so you arent using as much gas, run your heat/air conditioner minimally, etc) Ask your family tonight what kind of energy your family uses (solar, wind, propane, gasoline, diesel, electricity, wood, etc.) Today we are going to clean up around our meeting location and use some recycled materials to make a craft.
Fun Activity: Clean up Materials needed: trash bags Discussion
42
Take a walk outside and pick up litter around the building where the meeting is held. Caution boys not to pick up sharp or dangerous objects with their hands. While on your walk keep your Scouts together and have them make observations about the weather outside. Also, have them collect as many different leaves as they can find and bring them inside.
Fun Activity: Pinecone bird feeders Materials needed: pine cones, paper plates, butter knife, smooth peanut butter, birdseed, yarn, scissors Activity Cut a long length of yarn or ribbon to hang the bird feeder. Tie the ribbon in a knot around the pine cone near the top. Use the knife to get a large clump of peanut butter on the paper plate. Use the knife to spread peanut butter inside the pine cone and around the edges. Sprinkle the birdseed over the pine cone. Roll the pine cone in the birdseed that is on the plate. You might want to bring some quart sized sandwich bags to put the finished pine cones in for the kids to take home.
Fun Activity: Keeper and Poacher The wood, is formed by the Cubs falling in, in a circle, holding hands. They each represent a tree. The Poacher is a Cub who is sent out of the room. The Keeper is one of the Cubs in the circle, whom the leader chooses. A cap is placed on the floor, in the centre of the circle. When the poacher is called into the room, he may enter the wood through any of the gaps (i.e. under the arms of the Cubs), but he must go out by the gap he came in by. He does not, of course, know which Cub is the keeper. His object is to pick up the cap and get out of the wood before the keeper can touch him. The keeper can only touch him while the cap is in his hand. The keepers object is not to give away his identity till the moment comes to pounce. If the poacher escapes, he can be a poacher again so on, till he is caught. If he is caught he comes back to the circle; the keeper becomes a poacher; and a new keeper is chosen by the Leader. Between every entry of the poacher the wood should move round, and so alter the position of the gaps. A new keeper is chosen for each round whether the poacher is caught or not.

Theme for this meeting: Positive Attitude

Special Notes & Required Materials Materials: Note cards, writing utensils, extra rocks, permanent markers, wiggly eyes, newspaper to cover tables, colored yarn, glue sticks, blank holiday cards
Opening: Positive Notes Give each Scout 2-3 notecards. They should write down 3 items: 2 positive things about that they enjoy doing with family or friends. For example: I like watching movies with my Dad, I enjoy grocery shopping with my Grandma or I love going bowling with David and his family. Scouts should write 1 thing they admire or like about their fellow Scout. Encourage the Scouts to share what theyve written down, to reinforce their positive attitudes. Discussion: What does having a positive attitude mean to you? Is having a positive attitude important? Why or why not? Have each boy tell about a collection he has at home such as cards or rocks. Give everyone the opportunity to speak then ask them: Have you had any difficulties in obtaining items for your collections? How did you overcome those difficulties? Does being hopeful and cheerful help you to keep looking for items for your collections? Types of Collections: For traditional packs with 2nd graders this is a great week to get them started on creating a collection. Discuss what are things that some people collect. If you collect things (baseball cards, rocks, etc.) consider bringing in part of your collection to share with the scouts. Ask the 2nd graders to bring in their collection for next week to show the group or if they dont currently collect anything discuss it with their parents and start a collection. When they have collected 10 things ask them to bring it to a meeting to share. Suggest that they could collect rocks and that the pet rock you will be making today could be the first item in their collection.

Fun Activity: Holiday Mail for Heroes Materials needed: Blank holiday cards (the generic bulk kind), writing utensils Each year the Red Cross collects cards between October and early December and then distributes them at military installations, veterans hospitals, and other locations. Please use the following guidelines when having the scouts make cards: Ensure that all cards are signed. Use generic salutations such as Dear Service Member. Cards addressed to specific individuals can not be delivered through this program. Only cards are being accepted. Do not send or include letters. Do not include email or home addresses on the cards: the program is not meant to foster pen pal relationships. Do not include inserts of any kind, including photos: these items will be removed during the reviewing process. Please refrain from choosing cards with glitter or using loose glitter as it can aggravate health issues of ill and injured warriors. If you are mailing a large quantity of cards, please bundle them and place them in large mailing envelopes or flat rate postal shipping boxes. Each card does not need its own envelope, as envelopes will be removed from all cards before distribution. All holiday greetings should be addressed and sent to: Holiday Mail for Heroes P.O. Box 5456 Capitol Heights, MD 20791-5456 The deadline for having cards to the P.O. Box is usually the first Friday in December. Holiday cards received after this date cannot be guaranteed delivery.

Special Notes & Required Materials Bring a First Aid Kit if possible to program Materials: Home first aid kit, health habit chart copies, snack-size zip loc bags, band aids, alcohol wipes, small gauze pads, antibiotic cream samples (if available)
Opening
Opening: Bring in Operation (Board Game), fun way to interact with a surgical method of first-aid, plus scouts will highly enjoy it. For Addl Opening Activities see the appendix. What is first aid? The first help given to a person with an injury or illness How do you treat cuts and scratches? Wash with soap and water Apply antiseptic cream to prevent infection Cover with a bandage. (For big cuts, get help fast from an adult.) Keep the wound clean until it heals. Replace the bandage daily. If it is a BIG cut or scratch call 911 How do you treat burns? First aid depends on the type and degree of the burn 1st degree. The skin is red, from touching something hot or a sunburn. Apply cold water until the burn stops. Keep clean. 2nd degree. Blisters form on the skin. Protect the blisters from breaking with a soft bandage wrapped loosely. DO NOT apply cream or spray. Seek medical attention. 3rd degree. The skin is charred or burned away. The victim may feel no pain. DO NOT try to remove clothing. Cover with a clean bed sheet. Seek immediate medical attention at a hospital.
Activity
Discussion
How do you treat nosebleeds? Usually will stop in a few minutes. Take precautions to make sure you do not get blood on you wear latex gloves. Have the victim lean forward so the blood does not run down their throat. Have the victim pinch their nose shut for several minutes. Have the victim wipe up any blood with a wet clothe after the bleeding stops. How do you treat bee or wasp stings? Before treating, make sure you are not in danger of being stung. DO NOT squeeze the stinger. Scrape away the bee or wasp stinger with something other than your finger. Apply ice to reduce the swelling. If the victim has trouble breathing or breaks out in spots, call 911. How do you treat spider bites? Watch for redness and swelling. Victims may vomit, sweat a lot, and have cramps. Treat for shock and take the victim to a hospital quickly. What is frostbite and how do you treat it? Frostbite is the freezing of skin and flesh. This can happen when you do not cover your skin in extremely cold weather. Move the victim to a warm area. DO NOT rub frostbitten skin as it can do more damage. Remove gloves. Place frostbitten hands under your armpits to get them warm. Frostbitten toes should be placed against someones stomach. Encourage the victim to move their fingers and toes. Hold frostbitten areas under warm (NOT hot) water. Seek medical treatment.
51
Activity
What his chocking and what do you do for someone who is chocking? Choking is having a foreign object (like food or gum) stuck in the throat. The victim is unable to get it out. The universal sign for choking is the victim grabbing his or her throat in a choking symbol. If the person can speak, cough, or breathe they are not in choking danger. If they cannot, help them dislodge the object, perform the Heimlich maneuver. Make a fist with one hand, place it just above the victims belly button, grab the fist with your other hand (See diagram). Make four quick squeezes inward and upward to force air out of the lungs and pushing out the foreign object. Repeat this process until the object is cleared. If the victim is too large for you to wrap your arms around, have them lie on the floor face up. Place your hands on the victims stomach just above the belly button. Make four quick thrusts upward. WARNING! Because of the possibility of injury, do not actually perform the thrust part of the Heimlich maneuver on a non-choking victim.
How do we stay healthy? Eat well balanced meals. Drink lots of water: 6 8 glasses of water a day. Bathe or shower every day with soap. Brush your teeth before you go to bed and after meals. Wash your hands before eating and after using the toilet. Run, play, and exercise outdoors. Wear sunscreen to protect yourself from skin cancer. Sleep 8 10 hours each night. Take naps if you are tired. How can we stop the spread of colds at home or school? Stay away from other people as much as possible. Get lots of rest. Cover your mouth and nose when you cough or sneeze. Wash your hands often, especially after you sneeze
52
Discussion Activity Activity
Activity: Health Habit Chart Materials needed: 1 health habit chart per boy Give each boy a copy of the Health Habit Chart and ask them to take it home and record health habits for two weeks. Ask them to bring their charts back in two weeks to share.
Fun Activity First Aid Kit Materials needed: First Aid Kit (1), snack-sized zip-loc bags, band-aids, alcohol wipes, small gauze pads, sample antibiotic cream (if available) Show the boys a standard first aid kit and ask: When might you need a first aid kit? Where are some good places to keep one? Pull the items out of the kit one at a time and discuss the uses of each item. Have the boys brainstorm times when you might need those items. Let each scout assemble their own first aid kit from the materials available. Discuss what the materials in the kit can be used for.

Discussion Discussion: We are going to continue talking about first aid this week. If there is an emergency and you have to help someone you need to remember the four courage steps: Be Strong, Be Calm, Be Clear, and Be Careful Ask the boys the following questions; give everyone a chance to respond: Why do you think it might be hard to follow these steps in an emergency? When could you use these steps in other situations than an emergency? Standing up to a bully, avoiding fights, being fair, not stealing or cheating when tempted If you had an emergency situation who would you call for help? 911, parents, friendly neighbor, etc. After talking about the next few questions have the boys act out what they would do using the courage steps: Be strong, be calm, be clear, be careful.
Do you know what a hurry case is? Hurry cases are medical situations where unless you act fast and give the correct first aid, the victim could die within minutes. The four hurry cases are: Breathing stopped. Bleeding in spurts. Poisoning Heart attack

Lie the victim down on his / her back. Lift the chin with one hand, push the forehead back with the other. Pinch the nose closed. Seal your mouth over the victims mouth (or mouth & nose of a child). Blow air into the victims lungs. Look to make sure the chest rises. Remove your mouth and take a deep breath. Prepare to give another breath to the victim. Count to five for an adult. Count to three for a child. If the victims chest does not rise, the airway may be blocked. Tilt the head to one side. With your finger, feel in the victims mouth for a foreign object. If you find one, remove it. Continue rescue breathing until help arrives. What do you do to help someone who is bleeding severely? If you see blood spurting out of a wound, it must be stopped immediately. Avoid direct contact, use latex gloves. Grab the wound with your gloved hand and PRESS HARD! Raise the wound above heart level to help slow the bleeding. As soon as you are able, grab a bandage or other clothe, place it over the wound and PRESS HARD! If direct pressure does not stop the bleeding, apply pressure to one of the pressure points in the arm or leg. PRESS HARD! What do you do when you think someone has drunk poison? Children are especially likely to drink or eat poisons because they dont know better. Keep all household cleaners, medicines, and lawn chemicals out of reach of children. If a child does swallow poison, call 911 or the Poison Control Center immediately. Tell them what the poison is. Save the container. Follow their directions. What do you know about heart attacks? Heart attacks are the number one cause of death in America. Usually occur in older people. Symptoms: Pain or pressure in the chest, left shoulder or arm, and neck lasting several minutes. Sweating when it is not hot. Shortness of breath. Feeling weak. Feeling like throwing up. If you think someone is having a heart attack, call 911 immediately.
What do you know about heart shock? Shock can occur when someone has been in an accident, lost a lot of blood, or other great stress. Victim feels weak, is pale, cold and clammy, may shiver or vomit. Treatment: Have victim lie down. Raise the feet higher than the head (unless there may be injury to head, back, or other areas) If it is cool, cover with a blanket to keep warm. If it is hot, do not cover. Seek medical help quickly. Fun Activity: First Aid Game Activity Materials needed: First Aid Match-up game cards

Discussion Activity
Have the following conditions listed on cards: cuts & scratches, burns & scalds, choking, blisters, insect bites, nosebleed, and sunburn. Divide the Scouts into two teams. Place the condition cards in one stack and the action cards in another. The Scouts match up the conditions with the appropriate action cards. One boy selects a condition card and then decides which action is correct. If he gets it correct, his team receives 2 points. If he does not get it correct, another may answer and earn the points. Teams with the most points win. REMEMBER: They are ALL winners!
Fun Activity: Firemans Drag Materials needed: Blankets Create a starting line and a finish line. Form two teams, give each one a blanket. One person lies on the blanket. When the teams hear a whistle blown, each team must drag their body to the finish line. The team that crosses the finish line first is the winner.

Theme for this meeting: Tools

Special Notes: Ask your supervisor for help in securing enough sets of tools. Required Materials : hammer, Phillips head screw driver, flat head screw driver, pliers, nails, screws, block of scrap wood, tool match up cards
Today we are going to learn about using tools Tool Safety from page 199 of the Webelos Handbook: Whether you are working with wood, leather, plastic, or some other material, you will need certain tools. Handle each on as if it could hurt you-because it could! Can you name some tools that cut? What do you know about using them and taking care of them? Saws, knifes, and shears They should be kept sharp. If you let them get dull, you might have to use a lot of force to make them work and you can slip and cut your hand while working on your project. Keep your hands away from saw teeth and knife blades because they are sharp! With an adult, practice using these tools until you know how to handle them well. Protect your tools because they can be expensive. When youre not using them put them away so they dont cause accidents. Today we are going to practice using three types of tools: hammer, screwdriver, and pliers. What are some ways to safely handle these tools? Watch where you swing the hammer Instruct people to stand back if you are using a tool Hold them properly Do not play with them
Opening
Fun Activity:
Materials needed: hammer, Phillips head screw driver, flat head screw driver, pliers, nails, screws, blocks of scrap wood It is easier show boys how to use each individual tool as a large group and then break them up into smaller groups to practice using each tool. Screwdrivers Show the boys the difference between flat head and Phillips head screwdrivers. Let them attempt to use one to put a screw in a piece of wood and take it out. Talk to boys about how using a power drill makes it a lot easier but using a screw driver is safer and cheaper buy. Hammer Show the boys how to use a hammer. Let them drive a nail into a piece of wood and practice pulling it out. It is important for boys to practice this because they will need to know how to use a hammer for their pinewood derby cars. Activity

Theme for this meeting: Cooperation

Before Meeting Before Meeting: Arrange room and gather supplies as needed Lay out the attendance sheet with pencil/pen.
Special Notes & Required Materials Choose 1-2 additional cooperation games from the list at the end of the lesson plan to have as a back-up in case the planned material is completed quicker than expected. Materials Needed: A rubber chicken, knotted towel, or t-shirt; hula-hoop, any additional materials needed for extra games.
Back to Back : Make teams of two to three people each. Each group is to sit down on the floor with their backs to each other, elbows linked, and then stand up without unlinking arms. Once a team successfully Opening stands up, they are to find another threesome that was also successful and form a larger group together, sit back to back, and attempt to stand up as six all together. The groups should continue joining together into larger and larger groups until the entire group is back to back and working together to stand up as one big team.
Discussion:
Discussion What is cooperation? Working together towards a common goal. Why do people need to cooperate when they are doing things together? People are happier when they cooperate. Name some ways that you can be helpful and cooperate with others. Examples: Open doors, be polite, take out the trash, answer questions honestly. What makes it hard to cooperate? Not understanding or agreeing with the goal or the project.
68
How do listening, sharing, and persuading help us cooperate? We get to understand why other people think the way they do. We may not agree, but we can understand other people better. Break the scouts into groups and have them discuss what cooperation is. Ask them to come up with three examples. Make observations on how each group is cooperating. Ask each group to share what they discussed and share with them your observations on how they cooperated.
Discussion:
Discussion What makes a positive attitude? Positive thinking and believing in yourself. Looking at the bright side of things What are the benefits of a positive attitude? People respect you Helps you accomplish your goals More likely to be successful More happiness & energy Are there benefits to a negative attitude? No
Fun Activity: Toss the bird Materials needed: A rubber chicken, a knotted towel or t-shirt Activity
69
This is a tag game with a twist. The bird can be a knotted towel or some other soft object suitable for throwing. You can have as many as you think are necessary. The point is that you cant be tagged if you are holding a bird. People can toss the bird(s) to each other to help protect each other from being caught. You will want to have fewer birds than you have scout who are being chased. More than one person can be it.
Fun Activity: Hoop Circle Activity Materials needed: Hula-Hoop
Have scouts form a circle and join hands. The leader has a hula- hoop resting on his arm (and is holding hands with those beside him/her). Without breaking hands, the leader must pass the hoop to the next person and it continues around the circle with each player stepping into the hoop and then over his/her head and on to the next person. Once this concept is learned, see if you can get two players through the hoop together, then three and so on.
Cooperation Games
Materials: Blanket or fabric that has four corners and ball. Ball in the Blanket Split your group into groups of 4. Give each person a corner of a blanket to hold Place a ball in the center of the blanket. On the "GO" signal ask the teams to work together to throw the ball off the blanket into the air and catch it on its' way back down. How many successful bounces & catches can each team make? It takes cooperation to make this happen! Materials: Carpet squares or sheets of paper and music. Frogs on a Lily Pad Set up 1 lily pad (carpet squares work) for each child Start the music and ask the kids to walk around like musical chairs When the music stops pick a pad to leap too Start the music again, but remove a lily pad each time Each time the music stops everyone should work together to find a lily pad to be on As long as part of their body is touching the lily pad the "frog" is safe No matter how many frogs end up each pad they need to work together to make room for all As you continue playing have the frogs leap, skip, hop, and "swim" to the music. When the music stops, how few pads can people manage to fit on if they work cooperatively? Materials: Balloons Balloon City Place a large number of balloons in a small area. The challenge is to keep them all in the air any way they can without holding them. No hands! Takes lots of cooperation!

Your friends are going to ride their bikes to the other side of town, and they ask you to go with them. You know you are not allowed to do that. What do you say to them? Anew boy has moved into the neighborhood. How do you become his friend? While your class is taking a test, the teacher leaves the room. Some of the students start trading test answers. Do you? What if another student asks you for an answer? Is it hard to keep from cheating? Good Leaders also know how to give people the facts they need. How do you give facts to adults?
Fun Activity: Find the Leader Activity
77
Have the Cubs sit in a circle. Select one to act as 'it' and have him leave the room. The Cubs choose a leader. 'It' is then called into the center of the circle and the leader slyly starts some motion such as waving his hand, making faces, or kicking his foot. All immediately imitate the leader. 'It' keeps watchful eyes on everyone in an effort to find out who is starting the motions. When he succeeds, the leader becomes 'it'.
Fun Activity: Folklore Materials needed: US map, local folklore stories, copies of folklore match game Ask the scouts what folklore means. Share with them 1-2 local folk stories from Wisconsin or the Midwest. Bring in a map of the United States and point out where the different folk stories took place that are on the next pages.

Special Notes Required Materials: copies of word search, monopoly money, grocery store sell papers, poster board, markers, candy, pennies, inexpensive prizes Fun Activity: Money Word Search
Opening Activity
Materials needed: copies of the word search for each boy As scouts arrive have them work on the word find. After everyone has had a chance to find most of the words ask the scouts if they know what each word means.
Fun Activity: Understanding budgets What is a budget? Why is a budget a good idea? Where would you use a budget? If you really wanted something, but didnt have enough money to buy it what would you do? What is the benefit of saving money? Demonstrate the concept of a budget using monopoly money. Count out $1,000 and give it to the scouts. Then ask for them to give you back a certain amount for rent, food, savings, charitable donations, utilities, etc (you may even make up sample bills for added effect). Ask the scouts how much they have left after they pay all of their essential bills. Ask them what would happen if they spent more money than they had.
Fun Activity: Shopping for Groceries Materials needed: Sales papers for at least two different grocery stores
86
Ask the scouts to come up with a simple dinner menu for the den. Ask them to look through the papers to find items they would need to buy to prepare the dinner. Help them to decide how many of each item they would need to buy. Parents will most likely need to help out with the math. Once they are done with their shopping list add up the total and then let the scouts know how much their meal would cost per person. Ask if this cost is more or less than the cost of eating out.
Activity
Fun Activity: Penny Pitch Materials needed: marker, poster board, candy, 10 pennies per scout Draw a grid of three or four-inch squares on two pieces of poster board or paper. Place one poster board about 10 feet away from and the 2nd one about 20 feet away. In each square of the closest poster board, place a small piece of candy. In each square of the further poster board, place larger pieces of candy or small inexpensive toys the scouts might want more (possibly ask the scouts to value the items before the game). Give each scout ten pennies. The scouts take turns standing at a distance and pitching pennies at the grid. If a player lands a penny in a square, he claims the treat in that square. After the game ask the scouts how they decided which item to go for. Did they base their decision on how many pennies they had left? Activity

Before the meeting
Before Meeting:
Arrange room and gather supplies as needed Lay out the attendance sheet with pencil/pen.
Special Notes: Required Materials: Plastic grocery bag, scissors, hole punch, embroidery yarn (use the single strand kind), plastic army men (sold in bags of 50-100 at Walmart) Opening: Good Morning, Captain The group sits facing the front. One scout stands in front of the group, facing the grouphe is the Chooser. Another scout stands next to the chooser and he is the Captain, but facing away from the group. To play, the Chooser points to a scout who is the Speaker. The Speaker says, Good Morning, Captain! in a disguised voice. The Captain guesses who said it. If he is right, he continues as Captain. If he is incorrect, the scout repeats, I said, Good Morning, Captain! If the Captain fails a second time, he returns to the group, the Chooser is the new Captain, and the Speaker is the new Chooser. You may prefer to only give the Captain one chance, especially if you have a smaller group. Discussion: Resourcefulness Let the scouts know that today we will be making parachute men. Share with them the materials needed to make the project. What are other things that could be substituted if we run out of the materials on hand? What does it mean to be resourceful? While completing the project ask the scouts to make notes on which materials worked well and why. After the group finishes making the parachute men ask the scouts to list any changes they would make if they decided to do the project again. Tell why it is important to consider all available resources for a project.
Discussion
Opening
Fun Activity: Parachute Men Materials needed: Plastic grocery bag, scissors, hole punch, embroidery yarn (use the single Start this activity by letting the scouts pick out their favorite army man from the bag. Activity
90
Cut the plastic bag about half-way between the opening and the bottom, removing the handles. Next use a hole punch to make four holes equal distance around the open end of the remaining plastic bag. Cut four pieces of embroidery yarn that are equal in length. Have the scouts tie one end of each piece of yarn to the each hole. Next tie the other end of each piece of yarn to the army man. Have the scouts hold the parachute out in front of them, above their head and release. If available, let the scouts drop their parachute from an elevated area. Explain to the scouts that larger the surface area in contact with the air, the more resistance. Resistance makes it harder for the object to travel through the air. So, the larger the parachute, the slower it falls. The trapped air in the parachute spills off to one side of the parachute's top, or canopy. This prevents it from falling straight. A small hole punched in the middle of the canopy will allow the parachute to fall straighter.
Fun Activity: Zip Zap Activity Sit in a circle with one scout standing in the center. When he points to someone and says "Zip!" the scout must give the name of the scout on his right before the pointer counts to ten. If the pointer says "Zap!" the scout must name the scout on his left. If he says "Zip!Zap!", he must name scouts on both sides. Anyone who gives the wrong name or is too slow becomes the pointer and the old pointer takes his place.

Theme for this meeting: Knots

Special Notes Required Materials: Each boy will need a piece of nylon rope 5 to 6 feet long. Burn the ends ahead of time so that they will not fray. Fun Activity: Rope toss
Opening Activity
Materials needed: 25 foot length of rope with weight attached to the end, poster board with bullseye drawn on Let each scout practice coiling the rope in 1-foot loops. Hold half the loops and the weighted line in your throwing hand and the other loops in your other hand. Face the bullseye and swing the line toward it. Keep trying until you can hit the mark. Explain that this skill can be useful in rescuing someone in the water. Move the bullseye closer for younger boys.
Fun Activity: Knots Materials needed: A 5-6 foot piece of nylon rope for each boy, copies of the six boy scout knots Show the scouts how to tie the following knots: square knot, bowline, sheet bend, two half hitches, slip knot (not pictured, but can be found in the bear book). Let each scout practice the knots. If scouts master the knots quickly you can have fun by holding a relay race to tie knots.
93 Fun Activity: Rope Magic tricks Materials needed: a 5-6 foot piece of nylon rope for each boy Arm Cross Overhand knot: Fold your arms across your chest, lean forward, and pick up one end of a rope in each hand. Unfold your arms and you have tied an overhand knot Activity Man Overboard: Hold one end of a rope in your left hand with your thumb up. With your right hand thumb down, grasp the rope and turn your hand thumb up to match your left hand. Transfer the loop from your right hand to your left. Continue to make loops in this way until you get near the end of the rope. Then pass the end of the rope through all the loops. Ask someone to pull the end of the rope while you hold the loops loosely in both hands. As the rope runs out, overhand knots will appear in a chain of knots.
Fun Activity: Keeping a rope from tangling Materials needed: 25 foot length of rope Activity Before you put a rope away, lay the rope out straight on a dry surface. Be sure there are no kinks or knots in it. Hold the end of the rope in one hand and coil the rope around your forearm from hand to elbow. Loop it around as many times as necessary to take up all of the rope. Take it off your elbow, hold the coil in your hand and take off the last loop with your other hand. Make a few turns around the coils with this end and pass it through the top of the coil held by your hand. Let the scouts each try it with the longer rope and then finally they can try the skill making smaller coils with their own ropes.

Discussion: (From Webelos book page 125) Strength and good health are important to you now for sports and games. Theyll be important to you all your life. Athletes know that a good training program includes exercises that build strength and endurance. Endurance means the ability to keep going in a race or in a playing sport. We are going to see how the more you work on a skill, the more you will improve and the higher your rating should be. As you improve, this means youre growing stronger. Can you explain what it means to be physically and mentally healthy? (When your body feels good and you arent sick you are physically healthy. When you are happy, enjoy being with other people, and deal with change and other difficult situations easily you are mentally healthy.) What Sports and activities does everyone enjoy with friends or competitively? Finding out what sports, exercises, and outdoor activities your Scouts most enjoy will only better develop the free time activities in future weeks of program. What Athletes most excite you? Best to Watch? Favorite teams? How do you think these athletes got to be where they are now? Assist by suggesting healthy habits, balanced nutrition, and regular exercise How does stretching and exercise help with prevention the need for Medical practice or First Aid? Revisit the first aid kit, and discuss stretching as injury reduction/prevention.
Discussion
Fun Activity: 5 minute stretches/Warm up (more can be found on pages 133-141 of the Webelos book) Before doing any major exercises we are going to stretch for 5 minutes. This will limber up our muscles. Trunk Bend: This stretch strengthens trunk muscles. Bend side-ways and down. Touch your toesfirst left, then right. Spread your legs. Keep the elbows and knees straight.
98
Activity
Trunk Stretch This stretch strengthens the back and stretches the chest muscles. Lie face down with your hands at the back of the neck and elbows out. Raise your head and chest and hold. Stretcher This stretch is one best in slow motion. Curl your body slowly from a flaton-your-back position until your knees touch your chin. Count to five. Return to the starting position. All the Way This stretch strengthens stomach muscles. Lie back on the floor, with your hands above your head. With your arms and legs straight, raise your body and touch your toes.
Fun Activity: Physical Fitness Skills Materials needed: a plank, Tape, or rope to use as a line *These activities may be done outdoors! Walk a line back and forth and sideways Do a front roll Do a back roll Do a falling forward roll
Activity
Fun Activity: Exercise Materials needed: Athlete Record (1 per boy, Pg. 154), writing utensils, stop watch, tape measure, chalk board/white board (Or large sheet of paper on the wall)
99
Allow the boys to pick a partner and explain that their partner is going to help them with their exercises by helping them count. They will then record their scores on their Athlete Record sheet. (Leaders might want to hold on to these records for next week so they dont get lost) Sit-Ups Time the boys for 1 minute to see how many curl-ups they can do. Have them record their results on their athlete record page. Allow for each partner to have a chance. Starting position: Lie on your back with your legs bent and feet flat on the floor. Cross your arms over your chest. Have a partner hold your ankles to keep your feet on the floor and count each curl-up. Action: Sit up and touch your elbows to your thighs. Return to the starting position. Count one curl-up each time you go back to the starting position. Activity Jumping Jacks Starting Position: Hands by your Hands. Jumping up, lift your arms up then down. Each Jump is one movement of the arms, up and down. Repeat. Karaoke's (Sideways Running) Starting Position: Sideways to the way youre running. Alternating your back leg, swaying it in front, then behind your guiding leg. If moving right, your left leg is swinging in front and behind your right. Choose a equal distance to and from for this exercise. Demonstrate (Or have experienced Scouts demonstrate) the exercise, chances are some Scouts are new to it. Push-Ups Starting position: Lie face down on the ground or floor. Put your hands on the ground beside your shoulders. Action: Push up with your arms, keeping your back and legs as straight as possible. Then lower your body and touch your chest to the ground. Repeat as many times as possible and record your results. Rules: For each push-up your body must be straight and your arms must be extended full length. Count one push-up each time your chest touches the ground.
Standing Long Jump (designate a starting line) Starting position: Stand with your feet apart and your toes just behind the starting line. Prepare to jump by bending your knees and swinging your arms back and forth. Action: Jump, swinging your arms ahead and upward hard. Take off from the balls of your feet. Rules: Three jumps are allowed. Distance is measured from the starting line to the place nearest eh starting line that your body touches. Record the best of the three jumps. Vertical Jump Starting Position: Stand next to a chalkboard/white board with your feet flat on the floor. With the chalk/marker in your hand, reach as high as you can and make a mark. Action: Now jump as high as you can and make a mark above the first one. Your score is the number of inches between the two marks.
100
Activity Discussion
Triple Jump Demonstrate an example before Scouts take turns performing the Triple Jump. Use cones to line where they should begin running, where they should start jumping, and where they should be finished jumping
Post Discussion: Ask the boys the following questions and give each the opportunity to answer:
Did you feel frustrated or angry when you were doing exercises? What did perseverance have to do with that? Name another type of task for which you will need to persevere.

Theme for this meeting: Athletics

Special Notes and Required Materials: There are a lot of activities in this week. If you have enough adult supervision then divide each activity up into a separate station and rotate boys through. This is a week where asking your Scouts early on what sports and outdoor activities they enjoy most will be extremely useful. If theyve made suggestions, find a way to incorporate each.
Activity
Fun Activity 5 minute stretches/Warm up (more can be found on pages 133-141 of the Webelos book) Repeat the 5 minute stretches from the previous week. Rotate scouts in leading the stretching and/or choosing the activities throughout the day.
Fun Activity: Physical Fitness Skills Materials needed: a plank, Tape, or rope to use as a line *These activities may be done outdoors! Repeat from previous week It may become difficult for Scouts to continue bringing their fitness skills assessment sheet, and so as their Scout Leader either take charge and write down each result, or keep a continuous Excel template and fill in after each weeks program.
Activity
Fun Activity: Backyard Bowling!
104
Materials needed: kick ball, empty clear plastic 20oz bottles (1 per boy), tape, water, food coloring, glitter, permanent markers Making homemade bowling pins: Let each boy write his name on a plastic bottle and fill it half full of water (to give it weight). Put a drop of food coloring in the water and glitter for decoration. Put the cap on tight and wrap it in masking tape. Activity Backyard Bowling: Take the pins to an open area outside (or in an open area) and line them up in usual bowling formation. The formation should be at least 20 feet from where the boys role the ball. Divide the boys into two teams. Each boy gets a turn to roll the ball in an attempt to knock the pins over; each pin equals one point for his team. After his score is recorded he sets the pins upright for the next boy. Decide ahead of time on the number of points to win the round. Figure at least 10 points per boy, therefore 10boy teams will need 100 points to win. The first team to reach that number wins. Fun Activity: Kickball! Materials 1 kick ball, 4 objects to be used as bases Take the boys outdoors to play a game of kick ball. Kickball is played on a field with 4 bases arranged on the corners of a diamond-shaped infield. There is an infield and an outfield. The infield contains the positions that involve the bases, while the outfield is mainly designated for catching or retrieving the ball when it is kicked out of the infield. Game play goes as follows: the ball is rolled towards home plate, and the player which is up (kicking), tries to kick the ball. If the ball is caught in the air, the kicker is out. A player is also out if the ball is thrown at them, and hits them while they are not touching a base. If a thrown ball misses them, they may only run to the next base, which is known on the kickball field as the one base on an overthrow rule. Also similar to baseball, if the ball is thrown to the first base man, and is caught by the first base man while he is touching the base, the player running to the first base is out. This is known as a forced out in that the runner was forced to run to that based. A forced out can occur on any base that runner is forced to run to. Once a team gets 3 outs, the teams switch sides. A team gets one point for having a runner make it all the way around the bases and back to home base.

Before Meeting: Before the Meeting Arrange room and gather supplies as needed Lay out the attendance sheet with pencil/pen.
Special Notes & Required Materials: You will need an empty toilet paper roll for each boy for next week. Ask them to bring one in. Required Materials: 1 lunch sized paper bag per boy, markers, glue, scrap paper, scissors, any props needed for chosen skits Discussion: Talk about public service announcements Explain: Every day we see a lot of advertisements on television or in newspapers and magazines. Advertisements tell people about something and are usually trying to persuade people to buy a product. Some advertisements are called public service announcements. Public service announcements give people information that can help peoples lives or make them better citizens. A public service announcement might tell people about the dangers of smoking, or where you can get help in your community if you need it. Later today you will be making your own public service announcement-telling people why you like Cub Scouts and why other boys should join Cub Scouts. (If you have access to a computer and internet show the scouts a couple of Scouting PSAsthere are a lot of youtube). Ask: Who can name some things you like about Cub Scouts, or reasons why other boys should join? Fun Activity: Making puppets
Activity
Discussion
Materials needed: 1 paper bag per boy, markers, glue, scrap paper, scissors Have each boy make his own paper bag puppet. Leave the bag folded. Place it fold-side up on the table. Mark where you want eyes and nose and other features to go. The eyes, nose, and the top of the mouth should go on the bottom of the bag, and the bottom of the mouth should go on the front of the bag, as shown. Let the boys decorate their puppet, as they want. After the puppets are finished let the boys create a public service announcement and act it out.
Fun Activity: Songs Activity Materials needed: Copies of songs
107
Practice the following two Cub Scout songs with the boys. Sing them each until the boys get the hang of them. Choose one of them to sing using the puppets . After it has been sung ask the boys to tell you what they did differently when they sang the song using the puppets. Ive Got That Cub Scout Spirit Ive got that Cub Scout spirit Up in my head, (WHERE?) up in my head, (WHERE?) up in my head; Ive got that Cub Scout Spirit Up in my head, up in my head to stay! Replace up in my head with other words in the other four versus: Second verse: Deep in my heart Third verse: Down in my feet Fourth verse: All over me Fifth verse: Ive got that Cub Scout spirit Up in my head, deep in my heart, down in my feet ,Ive got that Cub Scout spirit All over me, all over me to stay! Good Night, Cub Scouts Tune: "Good Night , Ladies" Good night, Cub Scouts. Good night, Cub Scouts. Good night, Cub Scouts, We're going to leave you now. Merrily we Cub along, Cub along, Cub along. Merrily we Cub along up the Cub Scout trail. Sweet dreams, Cub Scouts. Sweet dreams, Cub Scouts. Sweet dreams, Cub Scouts, We're going to leave you now
Fun Activity: Cub Scout Skits Activity Pick a few skits from the ones listed at the end of the lesson plan. Have the boys practice them and then perform they for the group. If you run out of time have the remaining groups go the following week.
Cub Scout Skits Many additional skits can be found though a quick internet search. Please make sure that any skits chosen are in good taste and within the spirit of Scouting. Emergency Alert System
(3-4 Scouts) All scouts but one stand in a line. Lead scout is in front or to one side. Leader: For the next ten seconds we will conduct a test of the emergency broadcast system. (line of scouts all make Beeeeeeeeeeep sound until the leader raises his hand) Leader: Thank you. This concludes the test of the emergency broadcast system. Had this been an actual emergency, you would have heard(line of scouts screan in panic and run around).
108
Invisible Bench
(3-4 scouts) Scout #1 walks onstage and squats down as if he is sitting on a bench that is invisible. Scout #2 walks up to #1 Scout #2: Whatcha doin? Scout #1: Just sitting on this invisible bench. Scout #2: Can I join you? Scout #1: Sure. Scout #2 sits down next to #1. Scout #3 repeats the dialog. Each scout comes on and repeats, making a long line of scouts sitting on the bench. Last scout walks up to line of scouts. Last Scout: What are you guys doing? All other Scouts: Just sitting here on this invisible bench. Last Scout: No you arent I moved the bench over there last week. (points) All the sitting scouts fall down.
Over the cliff
(2 scouts) One scout is jumping up and down in place looking down over a cliff. Scout #1: 38, 38, 38, 38 Scout #2: (walks up behind first scout) Hey, be careful there it is a long way down! What are you doing? Scout #1: Take a look! Theres 38 of them down there! Scout #2: (peers over the edge) 38? 38 what? I dont see anything. (Scout 1 gives him a gentle push on the back, just enough to send him over the edge.) Scout #1: 39, 39, 39
Be Prepared
(4 scouts, one off stage) First scout seriously walks to center stage, makes the scout sign and waits for silence. When it is fairly quiet, he loudly proclaims Be Prepared! and then walks offstage. Second scout walks to center stage, raises scout sign and waits for silence. When it is fairly quest he loudly proclaims Be prepared! and then walks offstage. Third scout does the same thing and walks off stage. Fourth scout waits a few seconds and then blows a whistle. The first three scouts then yell, We told you to BE PEPRARED!
Troll Attack
109
(4 or more scouts) 2 scouts are camping out, but only have a one-man tent. They arge about who should sleep inside and finally one winds up laying down inside and the other outside. They fall asleep. A group of trolls wander by and see the sleeping scout. They rush up and beat on him for a couple seconds and then run off stage. The scout gets up, hobbles to his buddy, explains he was just attacked, and pleads to change places. The other scout wont switch and tells him to go back to sleep. Once settled down, the bears come back and beat on him again. Again, he pleads with his buddy to trade. This time, he agrees to switch places. After they go back to sleep, the trolls come back again. Just as they are going to start beating on the scout outside, one stops and says Hey, weve beat this guy up enoughlets get the guy inside the tent!
Lightbulb
(4 or more scouts) All scouts are center stage digging with shovels. One scout is just standing in the middle with his arm raised straight in the air as if he was holding a torch. (Boss walks onstage to survey the work being done. He sees the one guy not working and walks up to him.) Boss: Im paying you to work, not to just stand around. Why arent you working? Scout #1: Im a lightbulb! Boss: Get to work! When I come back, if you arent working, youre fired! (Boss leaves and everyone continues to do the same things. Then boss returns and sees scout still standing there.) Boss: Thats it! Youre fired! Get out! (scout drops his arm and exits the stage. As soon as he drops his arm the rest stop working and start to leave.) Boss: Hey, why are you guys leaving? Get back to work! Scout #2: How? We cant work in the dark!
Clothes from JC Penny
(5 or more scouts) One scout stand center stage; passing the time. As each scout walks past from stage left to right, he mentions part of their clothing and asks where they got it. Scout #1: Hey nice shirt where did you get it? Scout #2: Thanks! I got it from JC Penny. (repeat for each scout walking by using shirt, pants, shoes, hat, belt, etc.) Finally, a scout walks in barefoot and wearing a trashbag. Scout #1: Hey, who are you? Last Scout: My name is JC Penny.
The Infantry is Coming
(4 or more scouts; a small branch will be needed) Each scout runs across the stage one after another yelling: Run away! The Infantry is coming! The last scout walks onstage carrying the Infant Tree and says the Infant Tree has arrived!

Before the Meeting
Special Notes & Required Materials: This week requires listening to music. Please make sure the music you choose is appropriate! Required Materials: CD player/Ipod/Laptop, 1 empty toilet paper roll or paper towel roll (cut in half) per boy, markers, wax paper, 1 rubber band per boy Discussion: Ask: Who can tell me what kind of puppets we made last week? (Paper Bag puppets) Can you think of other types of puppets that you could make at home? (sock puppets, finger puppets, stick puppets, marionettes) Does anyone know what a monologue is? (A poem, a story, or an essay that a single actor recites alone. A monologue is something that is practiced and memorized by the actor and can show humor, sadness, or excitement.) Can anyone think of a story or poem that they know well that they can recite? (Give any boy who volunteers a chance to recite their monologue) Now we are going to talk about music. Does anyone know what folk music is? Folk music is music based on tunes that have been handed down from generation to generation, with no known composer. People heard them, learned to play them, and sang them. Folk music tells of peoples joys and sorrows of the past. Some are funny, and some are sad. The fiddle, guitar, banjo, and dulcimer are all instruments that are often used to play folk music. One example of a song written in folk style is This Land Is Your Land written by Woody Guthrie. Ask: Why do YOU think music is important? Give each boy an opportunity to answer
Discussion
Fun Activity: Materials needed: CD player, or iPod Activity Play four different types of music for the boys and ask them to identify the genre. (Try and pick four completely different types.) Ask the boys which types they liked best and why *Make sure music is appropriate * Types of music may include: Classical, Rock, Hip Hop, gospel, folk..
112
Fun Activity: Cardboard Tube Kazoo Materials needed: 1 empty TP tube or paper towel role cut in half (per boy), Markers, Wax paper (one 6 circle per boy), 1 rubber band (per boy) Activity Cut a 6 circle from wax paper. Rubber band the wax paper securely over one end of the TP tube. With a pin poke a small hole in the center of the tube. To use your Kazoo, make loud tooting sounds into the open end.
Activity
Fun Activity: Musical chairs Line up alternate facing chairs, one less than the number of children playing. They players move around the chairs while the music is playing. When the music stops they have to sit down on a free chair, the player without a chair is out, take away one chair each time, repeat until you have 2 players and 1 chair. The one to sit down first is the winner.

Theme for this meeting: Paper Airplanes

Special Notes : Make multiple copies of each paper airplane. KWL chart can be drawn on a chalk board. Required Materials: Construction paper, tracking paper, copy paper
Tailor the explanations below to match the learning level of your scouts. Using the Airplanes KWL chart ask the scouts what they know about planes, and what they would like to learn. Explain that we will try to answer some of their questions today, but if we dont know the answer we will find out and let them know next week. Thrust and Drag First, let's examine thrust and drag. Thrust, whether caused by a propeller or a jet engine, is the aerodynamic force that pushes or pulls the airplane forward through space. The opposing aerodynamic force is drag, or the friction that resists the motion of an object moving through a fluid (or immobile in a moving fluid, as occurs when you fly a kite). If you stick your hand out of a car window while moving, you'll experience a very simple demonstration of drag at work. The amount of drag that your hand creates depends on a few factors, such as the size of your hand, the speed of the car and the density of the air. If you were to slow down, you would notice that the drag on your hand would decrease. Lift and Weight Every object on Earth has weight, a product of both gravity and mass. A Boeing 747-8 passenger airliner, for instance, has a maximum takeoff weight of 487.5 tons (442 metric tons), the force with which the weighty plane is drawn toward the Earth. Weight's opposing force is lift, which holds an airplane in the air. This feat is accomplished through the use of a wing, also known as an airfoil. Like drag, lift can exist only in the presence of a moving fluid. It doesn't matter if the object is stationary and the fluid is moving (as with a kite on a windy day), or if the fluid is still and the object is moving through it (as with a soaring jet on a windless day). What really matters is the relative difference in speeds between the object and the fluid. As for the actual mechanics of lift, the force occurs when a moving fluid is deflected by a solid object. The wing splits the airflow in two directions: up and over the wing and down along the underside of the wing.
Discussion
The wing is shaped and tilted so that the air moving over it travels faster than the air moving underneath. When moving air flows over an object and encounters an obstacle (such as a bump or a sudden increase in wing angle), its path narrows and the flow speeds up as all the molecules rush though. Once past the obstacle, the path widens and the flow slows down again. If you've ever pinched a water hose, you've observed this very principle in action. By pinching the hose, you narrow the path of the fluid flow, which speeds up the molecules. Remove the pressure and the water flow returns to its previous state. Balance All of these elements work in equal ways to keep a paper airplane in flight. If a plan is flying straight through the air, lift and weight are pulling up and down against each other. If lift wins, the plane goes up, but if weight wins, it advances downwards. Thrust and resistance are pulling forward and backward on the plane at the same time. Each component has to be taken into consideration for just the right balance of each. Fun Activity: Choosing the right paper airplane paper Materials needed: Construction paper, tracing paper, copy paper
115
Discussion Activity Activity Activity
Present the scouts with a selection of paper to choose from. Let each scout choose one sheet of paper and ask them to make the best paper airplane they can. Each scout should write their name on their paper prior to starting to fold it. As students work on their paper airplanes, instruct them to focus on the size of the plane (large, medium, small), weight (light or heavy), and wing structure (long and thin, short and wide, big like a butterfly, etc.). After all students have completed their airplanes have them line up in a line. On the count of three each student should throw their airplane. Point out the planes that go the furthest and others that do interesting things (flip over, take a nose dive, etc.). Spend a few minutes discussing what happened with the students. Discuss the results of the different types of paper used. Fun Activity: Paper airplane templates Materials needed: Construction paper, tracing paper, copy paper Break the students up into groups of 2-3. Working together each group should pick an airplane design from the selections included at the end of the lesson. Give the students about 10 minutes to complete their airplanes. Let the scouts know that if they would like to use a different type of paper than what the designs are printed on they can. After all students are done have each group fly their plane. Record the type of plane, materials used, and the distance it goes. After each group has had a chance to throw their plane spend a few minutes reviewing the Airplanes KWL chart. See if the students questions were answered during the exercise. If not, try and answer them, or research the answer and provide it next week.
Debrief 3-2-1 Ask the Scouts to name 3 things they learned, 2 questions they have, and 1 thing they liked about the meeting. Pick and choose the responses that you would like to discuss.

Theme for this meeting:
Before Meeting: Before the Meeting
Special Notes: There will be no advancement for this week in the syllabus so you may choose to skip it to work ahead or catch up. Required Materials: Slips of paper, popsicle sticks (40-50 per scout), masking tape, a dodge ball
Fun Activity: Find Your Flock Materials: Slips of paper with a bird name written on each one (ex: chicken, turkey, goose, duck, chickadee, crow, etc.) If you have 24 people, make four of each. Activity Activity This is a game where groups will constantly change so there is no real team that wins. It should only take about three minutes to get a winner so many rounds can be played. On GO, Scouts mill about the room exchanging slips as many times as they can with as many different Scouts as possible. They do not look at what is written on their paper. On Stop Scouts stop and look at their paper. On Find your Flock, Scouts try to find all others of their kind and sit down together. The last group to sit is out, taking their papers with them. Repeat until one flock is left. Fun Activity: Build em Up Materials needed: Popsicle Sticks (40-50 per scout or pair, depending on #), and masking tape Depending on the age (maturity) of your Scouts, have them build one of the following. Kindergarten thru 2nd grade - Given equal amount of sticks/tape to either paired off scouts or individuals, have them build a free standing structure. Competition - who can build the tallest? 3rd Grade and Up - Have Scouts build a structure standing at least 1 popsicle stick tall, and can hold up 5 or so pounds. If a Scout/Team needs extra tape, all teams get the same. This makes the game equal for all.
Fun Activity: Spud Ball Activity Materials needed: Soft ball
134
Every scout is assigned a number from 1 to the number of players. Players form a close circle with one scout in the center who has the ball. The scout throws the ball straight up as high as he can and yells out a number. Everyone scatters except the scout whose number was called. He catches or picks up the ball. As soon as he has the ball, he yells SPUD and everyone must freeze. The scout with the ball can then take up to 3 giant steps towards any scout he wants. He then throws the ball at the scout. The target scout can move all parts of his body to dodge the throwexcept his feet. If the scout is hit, he gets S otherwise the thrower gets S. Everyone gets back in a circle whichever scout received a ltter gets to throw the ball up for the next round. When a scout reaches S-P-UD, he is out of the game, or after a set time, the person with the least letters is the winner.

Continents-Continents are large landmass on Earth, we have 7 continents: North America, South America, Africa, Europe, Asia, Antarctica, and Australia. Color the continents on your map green. Oceans-Oceans are continuous bodies of water which cover most of the Earth. The Earth is made up of 5 different oceans: Atlantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean, Indian Ocean, Arctic Ocean, and Southern Ocean. Color the oceans blue. Equator The equator is an imaginary line that divides the Earth into Northern and Southern Hemispheres. Trace the equator line in red. Longitude-Lines of longitude are vertical lines that run North and South on maps. These lines can help us find exact locations on Earth. Use the color brown to draw lines of longitude across your map. Lines of Latitude- Lines of latitude are horizontal lines that run East to West on maps. These lines help us find exact locations on Earth. Use the color black to draw lines of latitude across your map. * If you have a globe available to you encourage boys to try to find the items you just talked about.
Activity
Fun Activity: Compasses are used to help us find the position of land marks and which direction we need to travel.
Materials needed: Enough Compasses to either split scouts in teams or individually

Inside the earth there is a large ball of iron. This ball of iron produces a magnetic field. The lines of this field all lie in one direction and point toward what we call Magnetic North. There is a needle on the inside of a compass that has a small magnet on the tip of it. This magnet is attracted to the magnetic field inside the Earth and the needle always points toward magnetic North.
Activity
To use a compass you turn it until the North arrow on the compasss face is aligned with the North end of the pointer. The letter N stands for North. Ask: Does anyone know what the other letters stand for? E-East, S-South, W-West. If you turn and face any direction with the compass in the palm of your hand the needle will move to show you which way is North. Give each boy the opportunity to experiment with the compass.

Before Meeting:
Special Notes: Next week every scout will need a 2-liter bottle ask them to bring one, but also try and collect extras for those that forget. Also ask your supervisor to get you the launcher and water cooler if needed (check with location regarding water and space available outside) Required Materials: Candles, Squirt guns, Fun Activity: What am I? The Cubs sit in a circle. One Cub goes outside the room, while he is away the others decide what he should be when he comes back. If they decide on a policeman, for example, they call him back and he has to ask each Cub in turn what he has to buy for himself. One will say black boots, another a whistle, another a flashlight and so on. If the shopper goes right round the Pack without guessing what he is, he must go out again, and the Cubs will choose something else.
Opening
Fun Activity: Find the Leader Have the Cubs sit in a circle. Select one to act as 'it' and have him leave the room. The Cubs choose a leader. 'It' is then called into the center of the circle and the leader slyly starts some motion such as waving his hand, making faces, or kicking his foot. All immediately imitate the leader. 'It' keeps watchful eyes on everyone in an effort to find out who is starting the motions. When he succeeds, the leader becomes 'it'.
Activity
Fun Activity: Candle Duel Materials needed: 2 Squirt Guns, or a pair for however many duels you want, Candles, Water Activity Its a competition between Scouts deciding whos the true marksman of the pack. Have Scouts stand 10-15 feet apart with the candle next to them. Have Scouts shoot once, back and forth, trying to extinguish the others candle. The competition whittles down to the final two, and finally to the champion. Remember to find a space where a little water wont damage property, and ensure scouts dont start shooting one another. This will get Scouts excited. Improvise wherever.

Theme for this meeting: Water Rockets
Before Meeting: Before the meeting
Special Notes: Each scout will need a 2-liter soda bottle for this activity. Ask them to start collecting a few weeks out, but bring extras for those that forget. Required Materials: 2-liter bottles, manila folders, scotch tape, construction paper, scissors, rocket launcher, water Opening: How rockets work Water rockets work on air pressure. When a water rocket is made, the container of the bottle is only halfway filled with water. This allows for a bicycle pump to force air into a small hole into the bottle. When the the bottle cannot support the pressure inside the bottle any longer, the bottle lifts off the ground in a display of Newton's Third Law of Motion (for every action there must be an equal and opposite reaction). Opening: Water Rockets Materials needed: 2-liter bottles, manila folders, scotch tape, construction paper, scissors, launcher (ask your supervisor for this), water
Activity
Scouts can cut 3-4 tail fins from the manila folders. Attach these to the end of the bottle with the mouth so that the bottle can stand by itself. Using the construction paper, next form a nose cone for the other end of the bottle. You can cut the construction paper smaller if needed. Make sure to launch the bottles outside with plenty of room around. Scouts should stand at least 20 feet back from the launcher. Start out by filling each bottle about 1/2 full with water. If there isnt an available water source at your program location ask your supervisor to also provide a water cooler. If you have enough water and time permits the scouts can experiment with different amounts of water. Ask the scouts why the water is needed. What would happen if we only used air? Does the amount of water matter? Is more water better? How did the wind effect the rocket? Are there any changes to the rocket design we could make to improve the rocket? (add a parachute, additional weight, etc.)

Special Notes and Required Materials: There is no advancement this week because everything has been completed for the school year and we want to give you time to get your advancement requests in. You can chose to use these games or do something special with your pack for the end of the year.
Opening Activity Activity
Dont forget that next week is our final awards meeting of the school year!
Fun Activity 5 minute stretches/Warm up (more can be found on pages 133-141 of the Webelos book) Repeat the 5 minute stretches from the previous week. Rotate scouts in leading the stretching and/or choosing the activities throughout the day.
Fun Activity: Physical Fitness Skills Repeat from previous week Materials needed: a plank, Tape, or rope to use as a line *These activities may be done outdoors! It may become difficult for Scouts to continue bringing their fitness skills assessment sheet, and so as their Scout Leader either take charge and write down each result, or keep a continuous Excel template and fill in after each weeks program.
Fun Activity: Vegetable Soup Materials needed: Strips of paper or index cards, Markers, Masking tape
147
Have the boys make cards that say either Beans, Potatoes or Carrots. Make sure you have approximately the same number of each. Tape their card on their shirt so it can be easily read. Play Vegetable Soup. Have the boys divided into two teams facing each other about 6 feet apart. Use masking tape to make lines for each team to stand behind. One boy is the head cook and stands between the two lines of boys. When the head cook calls the name of one of the vegetables (beans, carrots, or potatoes) those boys must run to the other team without getting tagged by the head cook. WARNING!!! THIS IS NOT TACKLE FOOTBALL! ITS A SIMPLE TAG! If the head cook tags any boys, they become soup -- who do not have any tagging or blocking rights. Then the head cook calls for another ingredient -- again those boys must run to the other side trying not to be tagged. Continue until the head cook has all the ingredients for the hot soup. Activity Activity
Fun Activity: Egg Toss Materials needed: Enough boiled eggs for 3-4 rounds Pair off Scouts and have them stand facing one another. Start off with a practice round (Although the eggs will still break), and then begin the (friendly) competition. Following each toss, the thrower takes 1 step back. Make a decision as to limiting the final distance to which Scouts will toss from or a continuation of increased distance (depending on available space). If outside and in warm weather you can substitute water balloons for eggs.
Fun Activity: Good Morning Captain! *Note: This game works best for packs who know each others names! The pack sits facing the front. One Scout stands in front of the group, facing the group-he is the Chooser. Another Scout stands next to the Chooser and he is the Captain, but facing away from the group. To play, the Chooser points to a Scout in the group who then becomes the Speaker. The Speaker says, Good Morning, Captain! in a disguised voice. The Captain guesses who said it. If he is right he continues as Captain. IF he is incorrect, the Scout repeats, I said, Good Morning Captain! If the Captain fails a second time, he returns to the group, the Chooser is the new Captain, and the Speaker is the new Chooser.

Awards Activity
What does Do your best really mean? Seems like an odd question right? The answer is, well...do your best; give it everything youve got. Some people say it means to give 100% all the time. Do your best is not only the Cub Scout motto, it is something we hear from lots of different people, yet Im sure all of us can agree that a lot of people probably arent really doing their best most days. Doing your best every day and in every situation is hard and takes practice. Over the last few weeks one scout has really stood out as someone that always tries their best in everything they do. They may not always be the best, but they never let that stop them from having fun. Would ______________ please come forward and receive the Packs Do your Best award. Will everyone please give __________ a round of applause.
Fun Activity: Favorite game If there is still time remaining let the Do Your Best recipient pick his favorite game and play it. Alternatively, you can pick a game that you played earlier during the semester or a new game from the appendix.

Once this concept is learned, see if you can get two players through the hoop together, then three and so on.
Hoop Circle
The group starts out in one or two tight circles. Everyone in the group reaches across the circle with their right hand to grab another group members right hand. The group then reaches in with their left hand to grab a different group members left hand. The object is to untangle the group without letting go of hands until a circle is formed.

The Scouts attempt to keep their ball in the air the longest. When a team wins, they get a point. The team with the most points, wins. Do not allow Scouts to catch the ball during play.
Keep it up
Give each Scout a set of chopsticks and place an unshelled walnut, an acorn, a cranberry, and a pea on a small plate next to the oldest player. He begins by using the chopsticks to pass each object, from largest to smallest, to the person on her right, who receives it with chopsticks and passes it along to the next player. The object is to try to get all four objects back to the starting plate without dropping any of them. Players unable to manage the chopsticks can use a teaspoon instead.

The goals can be proper goals or two chairs; The field can be any size - it depends on the size of your group but it can be half the size of a basketball court. Players on both teams are assigned a number, starting at "1" on each team. Put the soccer ball in the very middle of the field, then have the umpire call out a number. The team members who have been assigned the number crab walk to the center and try and kick the soccer ball through for a goal. When a goal is scored, return the ball to the center and start again.
