Bear Adventure: Grin and Bear It
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Play a challenge game or initiative game with the
members of your den. Take part
in a reflection after the game.
- I have a whole blog post on Challenge and Initiative Games.
- Reflection:(Paraphrased from the bear book)
- How did you know you did your best?
- How did you make sure everyone was included?
- How did this game relate to the scout law?
- How did you know that everyone had fun?
- How would you make the games different next time?
- What did you learn from the game about teamwork?
2. Working with the members of your den, organize a Cub
Scout carnival and lead it at
a special event.
Ok, we just did the carnival at Blue and gold, the Carnival was Jedi themed, so we went that way but the key to remember is Keep it simple and Keep it fun.. so Here are the games we did at the "jedi training carnival at blue and gold" with a simple description of Them
we set it up as a circuit, the boys went from station to station and became "jedi"
Balance Beam -
The boys had to walk a balance ebam forward and backward. Required: a 2x4 laid on the ground
Blow up the death star corn hole -
Each boy got the throw 3 bean bags at a corn hole game with a death star on it... Required _ Corn hole game.
Blanket ball
(This is also a Challenge /Init game, honestly all of the C&i games make easy carnival games)
The boys hold the edge of a blanket and as a team try to get the blanket to throw the ball as high as possible. It was amazing how much fun the boys had with this at the meeting. required" Blanket, ball. The ball was actually BB-8, so the Jedi goal was to get him high enough to see a first order camp.
Hula hoop maze - 4 scout hold hula hoops at various height (bottom edge always below waist level) the younger scouts have to get through without being "burned" (the younger scouts first "cut out" the hull hoop with a light saber)
Nerf Shootout - we had a nerf shooting range, 2 fold tables, some pieces of 6" fun noodle to shoot at... nerf guns.. Ez Peezy... guns on one table, fun noodles on the other, boys stand behind gun table and shoot.
Plus one that was hard and over the top just because we could... we set up dummy's out of PVC pipe with ballon heads on the,. the boys had 10 seconds to hit as many balloon heads at they can, and then pick up a gold soccer ball (a bomb) and bring it back to us. But skip this on it wasn't' easy.. thought he boys loved it.
But look at the others, almost no equipment, all simple to play, the boys had, fun. BOOM carnival.

3. Help younger Cub Scouts take part in one of the events
at the Cub Scout carnival.
4. After the Cub Scout carnival, discuss with the members of your den and your den leader what went well, what could be done better, and how everyone worked together to make the event a success.
5. Make and present an award to one of the adults who
helped you organize the activities at the
Cub Scout carnival.
One of the other den leaders had a great idea, printed out certificates and the boys put down the name of the leader who helped them and present it. Bam, done in 5 min. Great ideal Mel!
