Gingerbread House

Before the meeting: 

1. Check with every parent, legal guardian, and adult partner to identify any food allergies and make any necessary adjustments.  
2. Purchase a gingerbread house kit for each Cub Scout. 
3. Set up the meeting space so Cub Scouts and adult partners can complete the activity together. 

During the meeting: 

1. Gather the Cub Scouts and adult partners. Share with them that each Cub Scout will work with their adult partner to make a gingerbread house during this activity.  
2. Have everyone wash their hands. 
3. Share with the den that buildings are not built by one person, it requires a lot of people who can each do something different.  Some people know how to make walls, some know how to paint, and others know how to put in windows and doors.  They all work together to make the building.   
4. Have Cub Scouts work with adult partners to make their gingerbread house. 
5. When everyone is done have each Cub Scout give a tour of their gingerbread house. 
6. Once everyone has given their tour ask Cub Scouts and adult partners what they like about the project.  Ask them to share how they worked together and if there was a time when it was good to have two people working on the building instead of just one.
