Directions

Before the meeting:

Set up the meeting location so Cub Scouts and adult partners can complete the activity together.

During the meeting:

Gather the Cub Scouts and adult partners. Inform them that in this activity they are going to build something that is not designed to last, it’s going to get knocked down, actually it may get blown down.
Have Cub Scouts work with their adult partners to cut out and tape the building pieces on page 25 of the Lion Handbook.
For their first building they may not tape pieces to each other.
When they are done making their building pieces, they are to build something that will hold up to the wind.
When someone is done making their building, take the electric fan and turn it on low. Place the fan far away from the building the Cub Scout made. Slowly move the fan closer and closer to see how close the fan can get before it blows all the pieces away.
After everyone has had their building blown away have them build a second building. This time they can use tape to tape pieces together but not to the table.
