  • 9 hula hoops, ideal size is 90 cm / 36” 
  • 18 sports cones 
  • Soccer balls, one for each Cub Scout and adult partner 
  • Frisbees, one for each Cub Scout and adult partner 

If you have a large den, consider creating two courses to allow rotation. 

Before the meeting: 

  1. Identify a large outdoor space to set up a “golf” course using the hula hoops as the holes. 
  2. Use two sports cones to identify where the “tee box” is where players must throw or kick behind the line. 
  3. An average “hole” should be 15 to 20 yards, consider that you want Cub Scouts to be able to throw two times to get close to the hole.  Make one hole 30 yards and one hole only 10. 
  4. When placing the holes consider where the frisbee or soccer ball will land if someone overthrows or kicks too hard to avoid the frisbee or ball going into an unsafe area. 

During the meeting: 

  1. Gather the Cub Scouts and adult partners and share with them that it is fun to play games with others but there are times when we play games on our own.  During this meeting they will play two types of golf, disc golf and soccer golf. 
  2. Ask Cub Scouts and adult partners what points of the Scout Law should we keep in mind when we are playing a game.   
  3. Explain that the idea of golf is to get the lowest score.   
  4. Each Cub Scout and adult partner will play together but keep their own score. 
  5. For disc golf a frisbee is thrown from the tee box that is marked by the sports cones and where it lands is where it is picked up and thrown again.  The object is to throw the frisbee into the hula hoop. 
  6. For soccer golf you will use a soccer ball and kick it from the tee box that is marked by the sports cones and where the ball stops rolling is where you kick it again.  The object is to kick the ball into the hula hoop, the ball must stay in the hula hoop to count, it cannot roll out. 
  7. The first round of nine holes is played with the frisbee, the second time around it is with the soccer ball. 
  8. Have the first Cub Scout and adult partner start on the first hole, when they are done the next Cub Scout and Adult partner go.  (Larger dens may consider a shotgun start where after you explain the rules each Cub Scout and Adult partner group starts on a separate hole.) 
  9. At the end have Cub Scouts and adult partners report their score.
