Note: Arrow of Light Scouts must earn the Knife Safety Adventure before they can use or carry a pocketknife,  They must earn the Firem’n chit to carry or use matches. If they have not earned either of these then have them bring the other eight essentials.

Before the meeting:

  1. Gather a set of bike gear and supplies for yourself.
  2. Remind parents and legal guardians that Cub Scouts should bring their bike gear and supplies to the meeting.
  3. Set up meeting space so Cub Scouts have room to spread out their bike gear and supplies.

During the meeting:

  1. Share with Cub Scouts that the gear brought along on a long bike ride ensures safety and fun. Some of the gear is personal, and some will benefit the group. As a group, they will need to decide how to divide up the group gear and who will carry which pieces of the group gear.
  2. Using your bike gear and supplies, hold up one piece. Ask Cub Scouts to find their piece of the same gear. Ask them how the item will be used and why it is important. Do this for each piece of gear and supply item.
  3. Ask Cub Scouts if they can think of any missing items.
  4. Let Cub Scouts decide how to divide up the group gear.
