  • Cub Scouts will need their Lion handbook, pages 60 and 61 
  • Craft scissors, one for each Cub Scout 
  • Crayons, enough to share 
  • Glue sticks, one for each Cub Scout 

Before the meeting: 

  1. Review pages 60 and 61 of the Lion handbook and become familiar with where each of the foods comes from. 
    • Ground – potato, carrot, lettuce 
    • Vine – grapes, tomato, beans 
    • Farm – cheese, milk, eggs 
    • Tree – apple, pear, orange 
  2. Set up the meeting location so Cub Scouts and adult partners can complete the activity together. 

During the meeting: 

  1. Gather the Cub Scouts and adult partners and share with them that natural foods come from natural places such as plants or animals.  Trees and vines produce fruits that start off as flowers and then form into an edible fruit that contains seeds.  When animals eat fruit, they eat the seeds too and when they poop, they help spread the seeds.  In the ground there are vegetables that are plants or roots that we can eat, vegetables don’t have seeds.  On a farm animals can become sources of protein. 
  2. Have adult partners work with their Cub Scouts to color, cut, and then paste the foods on page 61 onto the proper place they come from on page 60. 
  3. Have Cub Scouts share their activity when done.
