Review or become familiar with the rules of checkers.
Contact each adult partner and identify who already has a checkerboard and pieces that can be used.
Decide how you will run your tournament based on the size of your den and the length of your meeting. You may want to set up brackets for new players and experienced players.
Set up the room to allow for multiple games to be played at once.

During the meeting:

Gather Cub Scouts and adult partners. Review the rules of the tournament and how your tournament will be played.
Assign player groups. Do not pair Cub Scouts vs adult. Have Cub Scouts play Cub Scouts and adult partners play adult partners.
Begin the tournament.
After the tournament recognize the winner of the Cub Scout division and the winner of the adult partner division.
