    a body with one arm down and one arm reaching up,
    legs and feet/shoes.

  • Place the cards upside down on a table and shuffle them.

  • Turn the cards back over for the next Scout.

  • The first Scout to turn over the cards in the right order wins.

Mixed Cubs

Great Salt Lake Council

(Musical chairs without music)

  • You need enough chairs for everyone in the group except for one person.

  • Put the chairs in a circle.

  • Then go around the circle and tell each person a Scout name like “Tiger, Wolf, Bear, Webelos.”

  • The person in the center can then call out one of the names of the Scouts (Tiger, Wolf, Bear, Webelos) or “Mixed Cubs.”

  • The object of the game is to always have a chair.

  • When the person in the center calls out a Scout name (e.g. Bear), those people who are representing Bears must get up and find a new chair, and the person in the middle finds a chair.

  • Whoever is left without a chair is the new “caller.”

  • If “Mixed Cubs” is called, everyone in the game must find a new chair.

  • After you are in a new seat, you must make the Cub Scout salute until the new caller shouts out one of the Scout names.

  • If you do not make the Cub Scout salute and the caller catches you, then you lose your seat and have to switch places with the caller.

Cub Scout Salute Relay Race

Great Salt Lake Council

  • For this relay race, divide the boys up into teams. You can have however many teams you want, but 2 to 4 is probably best.

  • Everyone starts at certain point, and each team is lined up in their own line.

  • At the go signal, the first person runs to the first station area, makes the Cub Scout sign and repeats the Scout Oath. You may want to have a copy of the Oath posted there for those who do not know it.

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.



  • Then he runs to the next station, gets a licorice rope off the table and ties a square knot. (Show all the boys how to tie square knots before the race begins.)

  • He keeps his licorice rope with him to eat later.

  • Then he runs to the last station where an American Flag is posted.

  • He stops, salutes the flag, and repeats the Pledge of Allegiance.

  • Then, he turns around and runs back to his team.

  • When he gets there, he must use the Cub Scout handshake with the next boy in line before that boy can start his turn. The first team (make sure the teams are equal in size or have a boy go twice) to have all the boys finish is the winning team.

Potato Roll

Santa Clara County Council

You could do this during Easter time using Styrofoam shaped Easter eggs. Or at Halloween or Thanksgiving with pumpkins. This is a simple race but since potatoes are not nice smooth balls and refuse to roll in nice straight lines, you will need plenty of wandering room.



  • You will need two large potatoes and two sturdy sticks. If you need to play inside, use small potatoes.

  • The racers line up on the starting line with the potatoes turned on their sides.

  • On signal, the racers use the stick to roll the potatoes to the finish line.

  • Younger players may want to use their hands instead of the stick..

  • Can also be played as a relay race.

Treasure Hunt Game

Santa Clara County Council

Supplies: pencil and paper

Have the boys make a list of things that can be seen in their town. You might help by making suggestions like, large oak trees on Main Street, bridge, library, county office building, historical marker, and City Park. After the boys have made their list take them on a 30 minute walk around town to see the things they listed.



Crossing the Delaware

Santa Clara County Council

  • Give each player a balloon and have them blow it up and tie it.

  • When the contestants are ready, have them stand against the wall.

  • At the given signal, they are to cross the room, keeping the balloons in the air by hitting them only with their heads. No hands are allowed.

  • The one who succeeds in crossing the room first with his balloon untouched except by his head, wins the game.

ONE TWO LAST THINGS


You are blessed

Santa Clara County Council

You are blessed

  • If you woke up this morning with more health than illness. You are more blessed than the million who will not survive this week.

  • If you have never experienced the danger of battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation

  • You are ahead of 500 million people in the world.

  • If you can attend a church meeting without fear of harassment, arrest, torture, or death

  • You are more blessed than three billion people in the world.

  • If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep. You are richer than 75% of this world.

  • If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish someplace you are among the top 8% of the world's wealthy.

  • If your parents are still alive and still married you are very rare, even in the United States.

  • If you hold up your head with a smile on your face and are truly thankful you are blessed because the majority can, but most do not.

  • If you can hold someone's hand, hug them or even touch them on the shoulder you are blessed because you can offer healing touch.

  • If you can read this message, you just received a double blessing in that someone was thinking of you, and furthermore, you are more blessed than over two billion people in the world that cannot read at all.

Have a good day, count your blessings, salute your friends and relatives that make these things possible, and pass this along to remind everyone else how blessed we all are.

Raising a Child

Santa Clara County Council

I have seen repeatedly the breakdown of the cost of raising a child, but this is the first time I have seen the rewards listed this way. It's nice, really nice.

The government recently calculated (This article from 2009) the cost of raising a child from birth to age 18 and came up with $160,140 for a middle-income family. Talk about sticker shock! That doesn't even touch college tuition. For those with kids, that figure leads to wild fantasies about all the money we could have banked if not for (insert your child's name here).

For others, that number might confirm the decision to remain childless. But $160,140 isn't so bad if you break it down. It translates into $8,896.66 a year, $741.38 a month, or $171.08 a week. That's a mere $24.44 a day! Just over a dollar an hour.

Still, you might think the best financial advice says don't have children if you want to be "rich." It is just the opposite.

So, What do you get for your $160,140?


  • Naming rights. First, middle, and last!

  • Glimpses of God every day.

  • Giggles under the covers every night.

  • More love than your heart can hold.

  • Butterfly kisses and Velcro hugs.

  • Endless wonder over rocks, ants, clouds, and warm cookies.

  • A hand to hold, usually covered with jam.

  • A partner for blowing bubbles, flying kites, building sandcastles, and skipping in the pouring rain.

  • Someone to laugh yourself silly with no matter what the boss said or how your stocks did that day.

  • For $160,140, you never have to grow up.

  • You get to finger-paint, carve pumpkins, play hide-and-seek, catch bugs, and never stop believing in Santa Claus.

  • You have an excuse to keep reading the Adventures of Piglet and Pooh, watching Saturday cartoons, going to Disney movies, and wishing on stars.

  • You get to frame rainbows, hearts, and flowers under refrigerator magnets and collect spray painted noodle wreaths for Christmas, hand prints set in clay for Mother's Day, and cards with backward letters for Father's Day.

  • You get the greatest possible bang for your buck.

  • You get to be a hero just for retrieving a Frisbee off the garage roof, taking the training wheels off the bike, removing a splinter, filling the wading pool, coaxing a wad of gum out of bangs, and coaching a baseball team that never wins but always gets treated to ice cream regardless.

  • You get a front row seat to history to witness the first step, first word, first bra, first date, and first time behind the wheel.

  • You get to be immortal. You get another branch added to your family tree, and if you're lucky, a long list of limbs in your obituary called grandchildren.

  • You get education in psychology, nursing, criminal justice, communications, and human sexuality that no college can match.

  • In the eyes of a child, you rank right up there with God. You have all the power to heal a boo-boo, scare away the monsters under the bed, patch a broken heart, police a slumber party, ground them forever, and love them without limits, so one day they will, like you, love without counting the cost.
