Ready for Boy Scouts!
Scout Sign & Salute Opening
Materials:
flag
Cubmaster:
We are all Cub Scouts here today, but someday I hope that you
will be a Boy Scout.
Boy Scouts have fun adventures and work on awards and ranks
that help them grow up to be wonderful young men.
In Cub Scouts we have a Cub Scout sign and a Cub Scout salute.
Let’s all of us stand and make the Cub Scout sign and then the
Cub Scout salute.
[Cub Scouts stand and make the Cub Scout sign and the Cub Scout
salute.]
Boy Scouts have a Boy Scout sign and a Boy Scout salute. Let me
show you how the Boy Scouts make their Boy Scout sign.
[Make the Boy Scout sign to show the Cub Scouts.]
Boy Scouts use three fingers to make their sign. These three fingers stand for the
three parts of the Boy Scout Oath. Let’s see if you can try to make the Boy Scout
sign.
The Boy Scouts also have a salute. They use these three fingers and salute just like
Cub Scouts do, but with three fingers instead of two.
Let’s use the Boy Scout salute for our meeting today and give respect to our flag
by all saying the Pledge of Allegiance.
[See Webelos Handbook, page 58, for more information on the Boy Scout sign
and salute.]
Before the Relay Review
Materials:
Rope for each team
Scout Oath strips for each team
Scout Law strips for each team
Instructions:
Before the Cub Scouts play the Scout Stuff Relay, it would probably be best to
review with and/or introduce to them some of things that they will have to do
during the relay.
Explain to them what the Scout Oath and the Scout Law are. Read them to the
Cub Scouts – have the Cub Scouts say them together with you. Use the groupings
– the three parts of the Scout Oath and the three divisions of the 12 points of the
Scout Law. The shorter segments will help the Cub Scouts learn them. They won’t
have both of them memorized, but they won’t be so new during the relay game.
Explain and then demonstrate all of the knots for the relay game. The Cub
Scouts will know many of these knots already – overhand, square knot, slip knot,
bowline and sheet bend. They won’t each have a rope, but there will be enough
ropes that kids can take turns practicing and helping each other.
[See Bear Handbook pages 164 and 165 for diagrams for the knot tying.]
To do my duty to God and my country and
to obey the Scout Law;
To help other people at all times;
To keep myself physically strong, mentally
awake and morally straight.
Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful, Friendly…
Courteous, Kind, Obedient, Cheerful…
Thrifty, Brave, Clean and Reverent.
Scout Stuff Relay
Materials:
Scout Oath strips for each team
Scout Law strips for each team
Rope for each team
Masking tape for lines (if needed)
Instructions:
Divide the Cub Scouts into teams of 8-10 Cub
Scouts.
Have a starting line and a saying/tying line about 15 feet apart.
Have each team line up behind a starting line. Each team’s rope should be on the
saying/tying line across from them. A leader or leaders will be along the
saying/tying line to determine if the words and knots are said and tied correctly.
At the GO signal, each team sends one Cub Scout forward. The leader(s) will tell
the Scout what part of the Scout Oath or Law they need to say and then which
knot to tie (see list below). The Cub Scout must successfully say and tie that knot
before returning to their team. When each Cub Scout returns to his team, the
next Cub Scout is sent forward. A point is scored for the team for each
successfully said phrase or tied knot.
Keep track of the number of phrases said and knots tied. The team with the most
points wins. By running this relay for a fixed time of 10-15 minutes (do this several
times), there is no need to adjust for different sized groups. Each Cub Scout
should get the opportunity to try to recite and tie 2 or 3 different knots (at
least).
List of easy knots to tie:
Overhand knot (see Wolf Handbook page 190)
Square Knot (see Wolf Handbook page 190, Bear Handbook page 164)
Bowline (see Bear Handbook page 164)
Slip Knot (see Bear Handbook page 165)
Sheet Bend (see Bear Handbook page 164)
The Scout Oath
On my honor I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country and to obey
the Scout law; to help other people at all times; to keep myself physically strong,
mentally awake, and morally straight.
The Scout Law
A Scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful,
thrifty, brave, clean and reverent.
[See Webelos Handbook pages 54-56.]
Scout Motto, Slogan and Handshake Closing
Materials: None
Cubmaster:
We have been learning many things today about what Boy Scouts have to learn.
Boy Scouts have a great handshake. It’s a regular handshake – except that it’s done with
your left hand.
[Cubmaster gives the Boy Scout handshake to another Cub Scout or leader,
demonstrating how the Boy Scout handshake is done.]
Everyone, raise your left hand for me. [Hopefully the Cub Scouts will have their left hand
raised.]
I’d like everyone to take just a few seconds and shake hands, using the Boy Scout
handshake, with three other people.
The Boy Scouts have a motto. Do Cub Scouts have a motto? [Hopefully the Cub Scouts
answer, yes – Do Your Best!]
The Boy Scout motto is “Be prepared.” Let’s everyone say, “Be prepared.” Boy Scouts try
to be prepared for many things by learning about and doing lots of different fun things.
They try to be prepared for anything. What is the Boy Scout motto? [Be prepared.]
One thing that Boy Scouts have that we don’t, is the Boy Scout slogan. This is a
statement that helps them
Their slogan is “Do A Good Turn Daily” – what do you think that that means?
It means that they should do at least one good and kind thing a day and then keep
looking for more good things to do every day.
Let’s all say the Boy Scout slogan together – as loudly as you can “Do a Good Turn Daily!”
Have a great week, Cub Scouts! We’ll see you at our next meeting.
[Information on the Boy Scout motto, slogan and handshake can be found on pages 57
and 58 of the Webelos Handbook.]
