What to do with a scout

Stuck in the house? School home work packets driving you all mad? Try these:

Yo-Yo Adventure

This preview adventure (meaning its a new award being tested out) gives Wolf, Bear, and Webelos Scouts the opportunity to learn the concepts that make a yo-yo work and the basic physics of a pendulum. The adventure has only 7 requirements. As a parent you can record the achievements in Scout Book Link on resource page). If you don't feel comfortable using Scout Book you can send photos of your scout demonstrating the requirements to Sparky Zivin who can record it for you.

I would also like to mention that the resource page has both videos and lesson plans? It's a pre-canned event wrapped in a box just perfect for being locked in a house for weeks with nothing to do!

  • Wolf Requirements
  • Bear Requirements
  • Web 1 Requirements
  • Web 2 Requirements

Amazon was not cheeper! Not sure what is up with that: Buy a yo-yo

Emergency Preparedness Award

The Bear den is working remotely on the Emergency Preparedness Award which is a really good idea. Given the current news and abundance of time on our hands everyone from Tiger to Arrow of Light can work on this. Reach out to Eric Silva for tips on how to do this at home.

NOTE, requirement 4 for Tiger, let me see what we can do to help with that. (We could a video chat or something)

Youth Protection Pamphlet

There is a pamphlet on the inside cover of all the Cubscout handbooks. This needs to be done at home before the yearly awards can be given out. If you lost yours here is a link below. Report completion to your Den leader.

Community Leader Presentation

Stay tuned, we are trying to put together a video chat with a Community Leader for those Dens which need this requirement.

Anything from a Cub Scout Handbook

Kid driving you crazy, they need a task, pull out the Cub Scout hand book and pick something they can do at home. Any task you do at home can be signed off by your Den leader or Sparky Zivin. Or just start checking things off in the scout book and show us in person when we all meet again.
