JOIN THE CUB SCOUTS



Divide the group into four smaller groups and assign each group one of the words listed below. Read the story. After each of the words is read pause for the group to make the appropriate response.
CUB SCOUT "Do Your Best"
SCHOOL "Yuck"
NOTICE "Hear Ye"
MOTHER "Turn the TV down!"

Johnny came home from SCHOOL___ very excited one afternoon. In his hand was a CUB SCOUT___ NOTICE___. It was an invitation to go to a meeting at the SCHOOL___ that evening.

Now Johnny's MOTHER___ was very tired; so when Johnny asked her to go, she said, "We'll see". About that time the doorbell rang. It was Sammy, Johnny's best friend. "Hey," said Sammy. "Look what I got at SCHOOL___ today - a NOTICE___ to join CUB SCOUTS___." At that, Johnny's MOTHER___ said she guessed she would go, too.

When Johnny and his MOTHER___ arrived at the SCHOOL___, there were several CUB SCOUT___ leaders present in uniform. There were also several tables of displays - crafts and pictures. When the program began, the leaders shoed slides of CUB SCOUT___ activities - Good Turn Day, the Scout show, and the Water Carnival. "Wow", said Johnny to his MOTHER___. "You mean we get to do all of that in CUB SCOUTS___? Wow! I sure am glad that I brought that NOTICE___ home from SCHOOL___."

The Cubmaster explained that the Pack met at the SCHOOL___ and had passed out the NOTICES___ to the second and third grade students and the pack planned to form a few new dens. When he asked for volunteers to become den leaders, no one raised their hands. Dead silence prevailed. Finally, Johnny's MOTHER___ said, "Well, those pictures make CUB SCOUTS___ look like a lot of fun. How can I refuse? I'll be a den leader."

So that is how Johnny became a CUB SCOUT___. And don't we wish that Den Leaders were that easy to recruit?
