  • Markers 

Before the meeting: 

  1. Read the following to understand the Den Code of Conduct: Positive behavior can be achieved by using many of the tools provided by Cub Scouting, such as
    • Having clear expectations of good behavior expressed to the Scouts and their families.
    • Developing a code of conduct with the Scouts in the den.
    • Using two-deep leadership, especially on trips and outings.
    • Having trained den chiefs assist with den activities.
    • Following the suggested Cub Scout den meeting structure outlined in Scouting America resources.
    • Using positive recognition of reinforcement aids such as conduct candles, marble jars, and stickers.
    • USING DEN RULES: The den leader and the Scouts in the den should develop a den code of conduct. The subject of a den code of conduct, a set of group rules, can be introduced in an open discussion of how friends act toward one  another. They will often contribute proposals that relate to safety, to respect for property, and to relationships with others.
    • Put-downs and physical aggression should not be tolerated. The leader can make suggestions along these lines if the Scouts don’t bring them up. A few rules are enough for a start, but the Scouts might need to add others from time to time. They also might want to write out their den rules and sign on a line at the end of the list. This is a way of sharing with parents and guardians the expectations of their children.
    • Although groups of Scouts of this age will have their good days and bad days, they are most likely to try to live up to rules that they helped set up for themselves. Scouts need to learn to judge their behavior in terms of more than conformity to rules. They need to learn about caring, too. Just as they can make up rules, they can decide on some of the caring values that they want to represent in their den. 

During the meeting: 

  1. Using the Den Code of Conduct information above, help the Cub Scouts create their own Code of Conduct. 
  2. Have Cub Scouts write the Den Code of Conduct on a posterboard.
