  • A stack of post-it notes
  • Pencils, one for each Cub Scout
  • Computer or smart device connected to the internet

Before the meeting:

  1. Set up the meeting location so everyone in the den can share ideas and post them in a location that everyone can see.

During the meeting:

  1. Gather the Cub Scouts and share with them that we now want to think about improvements that could be made to the appliance they have been using.
  2. Pass out the post-it notes so Cub Scouts have 5 each and give each Cub Scout a pencil.
  3. Give them time on their own to write down improvements they would make to the appliance, write down one improvement on each post-it note.
  4. When everyone is done have them post one of their ideas and describe it to the den. If there are similar ideas for improvement place those post-it notes together. See if there is a common idea for improvement.
  5. Use a computer or smart device to find out if:
    • Has one or more of the improvements already been made and is available in a different make or model?
    • Is there a way to make the recommendation to the manufacturer?
