Huge Bubbles

Bubbles? Yes, please! These were fun and messy! Some of these bubbles got up to 3 yards long! We used the cornstarch receipe all over pinterest. It took a few times to get the hang of it.

Gum Snowman

I had fun with the kids making these cute, little snowmen. It is just a pack of gum (you can get a 4 pack of gum at the Dollar Tree) wrapped in paper and decorated. Fun for stockings or for the kids to give to their school & church friends! I wanted to pass them out to my class too. My son thought the big eye was funny, such a boy!

My Bird Book

Bird books I put together for cub scouts. We are going to do the cookie cutter bird feeders first. Then I will give them 25 minutes to "bird watch" (directions below) using their books. Then we will talk about what they thought was cool about the birds. We will finish by making birds out of Oreos.

My $1 store has binoculars for the bird watching!

Print out as many of this page as you need.
Below is activity directions.

Cub Scouts

Found this great idea and Arrow of Light Ceremony idea here:

Copied this idea as well for the bags to hand out what the cub scouts earned.

The Mission Impossible Activity

Notice how all the clues are things the boys learned how to do before the activity in their "Top Secret" pre-activity packet! An example of clue #2 is below.

http://craftsbyamanda.com/2014/01/scratch-valentine-gift-certificates.html

is the site I used to make my own scratch off for #6. It worked great!

 The pre-clue was the picture of the bird for activity #10. I wrote small next to the bird "house". So they had to look in the "birdhouse" for the next clue.

The dynamite and explosives that the scouts have to recover.

***We did this for Family Home Evening too. I just changed the scout stuff to "the family is under attack" and we were searching for the clues to protect the family. We used "The Family: A Proclamation to the World.

 Agent Registration and check point. We fingerprinted here and checked ID and passports.

 The enemy attacked and the scouts had to shoot all the villains before recovering a clue at the scene. One of the bears was the "sketch artist" and had drawn a picture before the activity of a "witnesses" description of the bad guy. We used that sketch to identify which villain. The clue was hidden behind Captain Hook, who was our bad guy.

The Super Sleuths!

Mission Impossible!

 Passports & Instructions! For the pre-activity packet.

*** We did this for FHE too. I just changed it to "the family is under attack...recover items essential in preventing the demise of the family." The director was changed to "Director of Eternal Families". We used the clues in the other scout mission impossible activities and geared them towards families. We used "The Family: A Proclamation to the World" as our "essential items" we needed to find. We all had so much fun.

Mission Impossible!

I am excited about this activity! I will post more as I put it together.

This is the pre-activity packet for each boy. It prepares them for the activity and gives them a skill to learn. Included: sticker mustache, ID card on lanyard, passport, mission assignment letter and skill to learn letter.

We are working on Bear and Wolf cub scout requirements and electives. The boys are each receiving a "top secret" packet a week before this activity to learn their skills before scouts. (The skills are things to learn in the scout handbook) Then the day of the activity the clues will be the same codes that the boys learn/ reviewed earlier. Man, that sounds confusing! 

 For example: The boys who must learn fingerprinting will get the ink and finger cards in their packets to practice before the activity. At the activity they will help finger print all the boys.
 Another will be a clue written in american sign language and the boy who had that assignment will help the others decipher the clue at the activity.

Their adorable ID cards.

These are some additional key codes we used that are not in the scout book.

***We did this for Family Home Evening too. I just changed the scout stuff to "the family is under attack" and we were searching for the clues to protect the family. We used "The Family: A Proclamation to the World.

 A friend brought a real race car and fired it up at the end of the night. SO LOUD!

 Awesome EW helped me out by making a pin the wheels on the race car game.

 Photo-booth

 Bean bag toss into tires.

 Our "fueling station"

 Awards

 A race track for the younger siblings to race on.

 Pit Passes for the scouts to cross the tape into the racing area.

 Mini Chocolate Donuts as spare tires

 The kids had so much fun with the drinks that went into the funnel and out the bottom.

Webelos Forester

I made a worksheet for the Webelos cub scouts. Identify plants in our deseret. Read about the animals and then match the animals to the plants they use.
