During the meeting: 

1. Gather the Cub Scouts and adult partners and explain to them that during the race we want to show good sportsmanship.  Ask Cub Scouts what do they think that means? 
2. Ask the Cub Scouts what part of the Scout Law we should follow to demonstrate good sportsmanship. 
3. Have a Cub Scout and adult partner act out one of the situations.  Mix up situations and Cub Scouts with adult partners so everyone has a chance to participate and demonstrate good sportsmanship.
