When securing a guest speaker consider asking them to also cover requirements 1, 3, and 4.
Before the meeting:
- Identify a guest speaker who is an expert in cycling. A local bike shop employee or owner or a cycling club. Ask if they would be willing to come to your den meeting and talk with the Cub Scouts and adult partners about bike safety gear.
- Check to make sure they are familiar with how to properly fit a helmet for Cub Scout age youth in your den.
- The day before the meeting remind Cub Scouts, parents, legal guardians, and adult partners that if they have a bike helmet to bring it to the meeting.
During the meeting:
- Introduce the guest speaker and have them review bike safety gear including the proper fitting of a helmet, kneepads and elbow pads for youth, reflectors on a bike, and proper clothing typically light colored and/or reflective.
- For those who have bike helmets have them check their helmet for proper fitting.
