  • At least four Cub Scouts 
  • Charades signs for the 3 points of the Scout Oath, found in Additional Resources 
  • Tape 
  • Bowl 
  • Timer  

Before the meeting:  

  1. Print the signage for the Scout Oath.  Cut into 3 separate pieces.  Tape each piece to the wall. 
  2. Cut out the smaller pieces and place in a bowl. 

During the meeting: 

  1. Divide the den into two teams. 
  2. Choose a Cub Scout from team 1 to choose a slip of paper from the bowl. 
  3. Set the timer for 2 minutes. 
  4. To their own team, Cub Scout acts out the phrase on the slip of paper using hand signals and body motions but no spoken words. Cub Scout has 2 minutes to do this. 
  5. When the timer dings, their time is up.  If their team guesses correctly, they get a point. 
  6. Repeat with team 2.
  7. Continue playing until each Cub Scout has had a turn acting out at least one of the three points of the Scout Oath. 

Tip: The signage on the wall is to help Cub Scouts remember the 3 points of the Scout Oath.  Remind them that their guesses will be one of the 3 points. 

Tip: Ideas to help Cub Scouts with acting out  

  • Duty to God and country: praying, saluting  
  • Duty to others: help someone ride a bike, open a door 
  • Duty to self: jog in place, read a book
