Here are some signs I made to use in Cub Scouts. Feel free to use them if you'd like. PDF of Cub Scout Info Sign Since I am a teacher by nature, I always try to think of little tricks to remember things. When I participated in Board of Review nights with Boy Scouts, I noticed that the boys looked panicked when I asked them to recite the Scout Oath or Scout Law. It wasn't because they didn't have them memorized; it was because they forgot what they are called. So I came up with this little trick to help them. PDF of Boy Scout Law PDF of Boy Scout Oath

New Cub Scout Parent Pamphlet-editable pdf Thanks to Julianne Anderson for donating this idea. She is Cubmaster of Pack 62, Hobble Creek District, Utah National Parks Council. When my son turned 8 he was so excited to join cub scouts. I grew up with 3 younger brothers; however, all I can remember is my brothers wore a blue uniform shirt with a neckerchief, including a neckerchief slide that usually fell off, and we sometimes went to pack meetings. I figured my son would go every week, earn some awards at his meetings, and I would sew patches to his shirt. That was the extent of my scouting knowledge and preparation. On my first trip to the scout shop to purchase supplies for my son I was overwhelmed by the various choices, and the cost involved, to get my son ready for scouts. About 6 months after my son joined cub scouts I was asked to serve as Cubmaster over his pack. Through the basic Cubmaster training I learned how cub scouts is supposed to run; with leaders and families working together to help mold and shape young boys, and have fun while doing it. Now armed with some scouting knowledge, I wanted to create an easy-to-read, single page pamphlet to give to new parents to help give them the basic information, plus help them understand everyone’s role in scouting. Here are two different editable pdf documents that you can use in your dens or packs. One has more editable text forms than the other, but they are in the same basic format. Some of the information is from scouting.org, and some of the den leader/parent/cub scout responsibilities ideas were taken from this blog post http://akelascouncil.blogspot.com/2013/02/cub-scout-orientation-for-new-cub.html.

My mom is a cub scout den leader, specifically for the bears. Awhile back the scouts decided to update their program. My mom was reading the new materials, and there was some instruction about displaying the den flag at all den meetings. Problem: the den didn't have a flag. So at the last pack meeting she asked her scouts what they wanted on a den flag. They came up with a list of things. They obviously thought there should be at least one bear. And maybe some trees and grass. They wanted the dominant colors to be yellow and navy blue, since those are the bear colors. And one of the boys thought there should be something that was hot pink. (They all drew sketches on a white board. Some of them filled the flag with LOTS of stuff...) After my mom got this list she came to me and asked me to make her a flag. Being a busy graduate student, I decided that it sounded like a nice way to procrastinate. But I didn't want to procrastinate too long, so I wanted to avoid pulling out the sewing machine. Here is what I did. First, we had to decide how to incorporate what the scouts wanted in a somewhat sophisticated and simple way. We initially thought we would go with one bear head in the middle, with a couple of pine trees on either side. So I got on the internet and started looking up clip art (coming up with your own designs takes time. Unless you are a crazy good artist who can get their drawings right without needing a giant eraser. So use clip art!) After looking at about 100 websites I found an awesome bear head. Unfortunately, most of the bear images on google involve teddy bears, or bear heads attached to bear bodies. We just wanted the head and some claws. This image was perfect. Especially for scouts. We decided that the hot pink element could be a fish jumping out of a river, and that we would write the troop number on the fish belly. Here is the draft I made in microsoft Publisher. I changed the page size to match the end flag size (28"x24"), and arranged and resized all the clip art until it looked right. Then, rescaling all of the separate components, including the text, by the same amount, I printed them all out on a transparency. I believe I reduced them all to 25% of their original size. In many programs there is a "rescale" option, so you don't even have to do any math. A few months ago my church building decided that they didn't need their "antiquated" overhead projector anymore, and they put it in the foyer labeled "free". So I claimed it. I marked the outline of the flag on the projector glass using a dry erase marker. I rescaled this outline by the same amount as the clipart. Because I reduced everything to 25% of their original sizes, I did the same with the flag outline. Therefore, the rectangle on the glass was only 7x6", a very manageable size to draw. I then moved the projector away from the wall until the outline was 28x24", my target flag size. Since all of the clip art components had been printed at the same scale, I didn't need to move the projector anymore. I just taped felt to the wall and traced each component. Here is a picture of the fish outline. You can see the outline against the wall. I used blue painters tape to stick the felt to the wall, and used a white colored pencil to trace (if you are using light colored felt, a dark colored pencil should be used). Here is the outline of the bear after I pulled it off the wall: Since this is a felt flag, and it isn't going to be thrown in the washing machine, you can paint the felt with cheap acrylic paint. If you clearly trace the lines onto the felt, it is very easy to fill in the lines with color. For the bear, I primarily used black for outlining, but around the ears you can see some light brown highlights, and the teeth and claws were white. The tree has a few light green highlights on the top branched. The fish was a little bit different since the details were so fine. I ended up drawing the little eye and fins with a fine tipped sharpie. Note that the felt will soak up some of the paint, so you will have to apply a couple of coats of the lighter colors. After everything is painted and cut out, just hot glue them onto a bigger piece of felt! (Fabrics other than felt can be used, but depending on the fabric the flag will have much more drape. Felt is slightly stiff, so it doesn't fold and distort the awesome designs when it is hung.) Here is the original clip art bear for reference. I ended up accidentally flipping my transparency backwards, which is why the felt bear is a mirror image of the clip art bear. In this case it turned out just fine, but if exact placement matters in one of your projects, be sure and check before you trace! The flag is hanging on a stand made out of a few pieces of pvc pipe. There are several tutorials for making such a stand on pinterest. The loops are also made out of hot glue and felt. Later on, my mom added the bottom loops and used a plastic rod for displaying scout awards. Overall, this was a very quick way to create a flag, without needing any sewing skills. An overhead projector is a great tool for enlargements, and I will post a few more projects where a projector definitely came in handy! (A more modern projector will work as well, but if it is ceiling mounted it will be much harder to get the sizing right.)

Our Den Doodle ended up being a very positive thing to inspire the boys to wear their uniforms, do Cub Scout requirements at home with their parents, and be excited about Cub Scouting! When I was a Den Leader, I had a lot of fun with this. Thanks to all those who were interested in my Den Doodle and asked for more information from my post "Cub Scout Orientation for New Cub Scouts and Parents" that you can open in Word, edit, and print. If this post does not answer the questions you have, please type below and ask more. I will keep adding to the blog and posting more pictures as I need. Just for fun, I'll tell you that the cute little 8 year old red head is my now 15 year old son. Enjoy your boys while you have them with you in Cub Scouts!! To make it: Take an empty gallon can and spray paint it. Spray paint any PVC pipe and connections you will need. Use Plaster of Paris and put the pipe into the can. Notice that there is only about 8" sticking out of the can and then there is an adaptor you can take apart. That really helped as I transport it back and forth. (Notice there is a 2nd connector about 1/2 way up still in the blue. That really helped to be able to break it down) Drill super small holes in the pipe and insert screw cup holder hooks to hang the doodles on. To use it: When the boys come to scouts for the first time, have them write their name and date on the outside of the can. I give them 2 leather ropes and a round metal key chain thing to tie the leather ropes onto. I bought a bead alphabet at Walmart, and thin jute, and I would have the kids put their names on the thin jute and tie it to the round metal key chain. For the 1st leather rope, as the boys would come every week, they would go to my plastic container and read through the requirements to see how many beads they earned for the week, they would count out the correct amount of beads, untie the knot at the bottom of the leather rope, slide their beads on, and retie the knot. As the boys got 50 beads, they could trade them in for a feather to put at the top (I would attach it to the metal key chain with a safety pin). Then they would start all over again earning more beads. For the 2nd leather rope, I would have things like sticks or beads to go with the monthly theme. I would also give them extra beads for things we did in the den - decorate for blue & gold, or other stuff. I would also give them something when they earned their bobcat, wolf, bear, webelos, etc. These were permanent on the 2nd rope, and kind of signified their scouting time. This really helped the boys want to wear all of their cub scout uniform (shirt, hat, vest, neckerchief, slide), do things at home, being on time, bringing their book. I had a little plastic container that would sit by the den doodle, and it had a list of the following in the lid. The boys could receive beads for each of the following items... 1. Being on time. Be in the room by 4:00. 2. Wearing their Cub Scout Shirt. 3. Bringing their Wolf Book 4. Wearing their Neckerchief 5. Wearing the (Neckerchief) Slide of the Month 6. Wearing the Red Vest 7. Cub Scout Den Hat 8. Passing off something during the week at home with their parents. (I would ask the parents to please write it on a post it note inside the front cover. Then I would not have to look through every page every week of each boys book.) I also started telling them at the end of the den session if they had earned an extra bead for being extra good, helping a lot, or something else. It really helped to have something to bribe them with that was simple and easy. Here is an additional idea from Claire Smith from San Diego, CA: The second string could be a gold string that gets fancier beads that represent Bobcat, Required beltloop, Elective beltloop, Wolf, and other special events (a hike, a special pack game, participation in community service, or doing something else that is memorable and noteworthy. This string becomes a history of his time in the Den, and when he bridges, I make a special totem with a blue & gold wooden fleur-de-lis at the top (with Pack #, Den Leader names etc) that can hang on the wall (a pop-top ring glued to the back) for him to keep, and it is presented at a pack meeting as he bridges to the Bear Den.

My son as been active with scouts since he was a Tiger Cub and is just getting ready to cross over to a Boy Scout. In my search of getting all his belt loops, patches, pins and other awards together, I realized he has a ton of stuff. One item that cub scouts work toward is belt loops. In order to earn a belt loops, a cub scout must preform certain tasks associated with whatever belt loop they are trying to earn at the time. Right now there is a total of 53 different belt loops a cub scout can earn but as of 2015, these belt loops will no longer be part of the cub scout activities. My son is lucky to have earned most of them already and I wanted to come up with a way we could display them for years to come. I also wanted an idea that would be easy enough for my Webelos II to complete as one of their Craftsman Activity Badges. I've been tossing the idea around to use rulers as a base because they seemed to be the right size and shape for what I had in mind. When the schools supplies went on sale at Wal-mart, I grabbed up a few to see if my idea would work. When I got home, I brought out my hot glue gun, sand paper and some old Java color stain left over from redoing my bathroom cabinets. I decided to use the hot glue gun because I wanted something that would be fast drying so that the Scouts could complete the project all in one den meeting. I also thought about tearing out the bendable paper holders in folders to stick through the holes but changed my mind at the last minute because of the extra two rulers and no wholes for them. Step One - Before you glue, you must first remove the plastic straight line edge attached to the ruler. Save yourself some trouble and just use pliers. I used my nails for the first two and it was a pain. The pliers makes it very simple to remove. Step Two - Take your sandpaper and sand the ruler down. To make this easier, hold the sandpaper and ruler in a way that you can sand both sides at once. Keep stopping to check to see if the Belt Loops will slide on rather easy. Keep in mind that if you are going to paint/stain the ruler then you will need to sand it a little more to allow the Belt Loops to fit once the paint/stain is on. Step Three - Hot glue your ruler together, making sure each one is straight. I matched the three up with the the holes from the back piece and then filled in the other two rules in the extra space. Make sure that the glue drys before moving on. Step Four - Paint/Stain the ruler and leave overnight. Step Five - I used thin cord to make a decorative X and to add extra support to the center. If you completely fill this up, it will hold a total of 50 Belt Loops. Five per row and side. For a total of $1.50 for 6 rulers and with the use of a few items I had on hand, this Belt Loop display turned out great and will be a huge hit for my next Webelos Den Meeting.
