  • Heavy-duty tape such as duct tape 
  • Double-sided tape 
  • 24” length of leather or plastic lacing for each Cub Scout 
  • One small binder clip for each Cub Scout 

Before the meeting: 

  1. Using the instructions below, create a badge for yourself to share with Cub Scouts. 
  2. Measure your badge so that you will have the dimensions to share with your den. 
  3. Tie 4 or 5 pieces of lacing onto the hangers. 
  4. Write your den number on a larger piece of craft foam with the markers and tape it to the hanger using the double-sided tape. 

During the meeting: 

  1. Tell Cub Scouts that they will be making a den doodle starting with creating a “badge” for themselves. Show the example you made and share the approximate dimensions that it needs to be. 
  2. Put craft foam, scissors, and permanent markers on a table, and ask Cub Scouts to collect the supplies they need. 
  3. Ask Cub Scouts to cut shapes out of the craft foam to make their badge. 
  4. Have Cub Scouts write their names on the badges using markers. 
  5. Ask Cub Scouts to tape one “arm” of the binder clip to the back of their badge using duct tape. 
  6. Instruct Cub Scouts to tie a double knot at one end of their lacing.  
  7. Have Cub Scouts loop one end of their lacing over the hanger and clamp the ends together with the binder clip. 
  8. Whenever Cub Scouts are given plastic pony beads for completed Adventures, have them unclamp their name badges, add the beads, and clamp it back.  
  9. You can hang the den doodle on the wall or on a doorknob. 

Tip: The den doodle can be used to track advancement by adding plastic pony beads for completed adventures. Use a different color bead for each adventure. 

Tip: Den doodles can be made from different materials and there are several different designs.  This is one example of a den doodle that can be made.
