Raingutter Regatta Flair

Many packs enjoy a summertime Raingutter Regatta. You can download this certificate at this link. A great song to sing at your Raingutter Regatta is sung to the tune When Johnny Comes Marching Home, and the lyrics are found on the 2nd page of the June 2008 Program Helps (right column. Heading: "Song: Regatta Day). Just click here: lyrics.

Have you tried a Vegetable Regatta? Slice the top off of a bell pepper, gourd, zucchini, or other vegetable. Hollow the middle with a spoon. Add a shishkabob skewer or two and a piece of paper for a mast. Test the floatability and mobility in a sink or tub of water.

When Spies meet Natural Disasters

And now, as only Cub Scout Leaders can demonstrate, we see what happens when spies lie about natural disasters...

How much fun would your Pack have with this skit?

The Wave Applause

And here we have adults attempting the wave applause...

This could be a race or an applause at your next pack meeting. Can you feel the creative juices flowing?

Pack Meeting Tots

We had a great idea shared at our May 2011 Roundtable. We all know that Pack Meeting is a family affair. What happens when those families involve lots of small children? It can get a little crazy. Especially when the awards seem to go on forever. (Think in terms of ages 2-6. Awards do go on forever...) As a way to help with the wiggles of children, set up a coloring table in the back for them. The Pack Committee can provide crayons and coloring pages that go along with the theme for the month. Siblings have an activity just for them, the meeting doesn't seem quite so long and the business part of Pack Meeting can go as planned with fewer interruptions (we hope).

My Red Wagon

Steve taught a new song at May's Round Table. As you can see, the leaders attending had no idea what was about to be unleashed.

 Try this at your next pack meeting and see what happens...

Knot Demonstration

As part of May's RoundTable, we were given a knot demonstration.
