Pack activities

I really miss the "Old" Cub Scout program helps.

There was a theme and activities to go with it ... and even plans to run the Den meetings and Pack meeting.

These days, the theme is a character point, but what kid joins Cub Scouts to have his character developed? They join to have fun!


Coming up with a game is always a challenge. It has to be easy enough or safe enough for first grade Tiger Cubs, and yet fun and challenging for Webelos,

For our April meeting, I decided on a fashion show.

Each den got a stack of newspaper, scissors, scotch tape, and a stapler.

The challenge was to use those supplies to create a costume for the smallest member of the den.

I had hoped in the end to have the costume moved to the adult leader for a second fashion show but the construction work became quite involved and we had to have a countdown to 'show time".

Each den had a corner of the activity room to work in.

Organized chaos !

Tigers went with a samurai theme.

This model is carrying a sword.

Note, he even has foot-gear.

The Wolf den got carried away and came up with two outfits for the runway.

The Bear Den did an outstanding job.


I was impressed with the necktie and shoes.
(as well as the tidy way they worked together).

The Webelos were last to finish with a rather casual touch.


It seems all the dens had at least one expert an making origami hats with a samurai flavor.

And, here are the models, gathered on the runway for a final shot.

It might have been fun to see what they would have done with their leaders,

but during this activity time, the leaders are checking the boy's books for the award ceremony to follow. Three new boys came to check out our group and are wishing to join.

I guess the game was a success.
