Before the meeting: 

1. Set up the meeting room so that Cub Scouts with help from their adult partner can complete the craft.  This craft requires hammering so make sure the surface used is sturdy. 
2. Review the project to make a constellation from a tin can. 
3. Make the project yourself to identify opportunities to guide Cub Scouts and adult partners through the project. 
4. The day before the meeting remind Cub Scouts, parents, legal guardians, and adult partners that Cub Scouts will need to bring their flashlight for this activity.  
5. Gather the empty 15.25 oz. tin cans and wash them, use a metal file to remove any sharp edges from the cans.  The cans should only have the tops removed.  

During the meeting: 

1. Gather the Cub Scouts and adult partners and inform them they will make a model constellation out of a tin can.  Show them your example then turn off the lights and use your flashlight to project the constellation onto the ceiling.  
2. Now have the Cub Scouts with their adult partners look at pages 52 and 53 of the Tiger handbook (page 53 may have been turned into a booklet).  Have them pick one of the constellations but do not share what constellation they have chosen with anyone but their adult partner. 
3. Once they have chosen a constellation, the Cub Scouts work with their adult partners to first use the marker to mark the bottom of the can the constellation by making a dot for each star in the constellation.  
4. Once they have placed the dots on the bottom of the can, keeping the can upside down, have the adult partner first place the nail where at one of the dots and using the hammer punch a hole in the can.  Once the adult partner has demonstrated it to their Cub Scout, the Cub Scout puts on protective eyewear and punches the remaining holes. 
5. When everyone is done, dim the lights and have each Cub Scout flash their flashlight through their can to project their constellation onto the ceiling.  Have the other Cub Scouts raise their hand if they can identify the constellation.
