Before the meeting:
- Familiarize yourself with several knot apps. Possible choices include:
- Set up meeting space for Cub Scouts to share computer or smart device with their adult.
During the meeting:
- Gather Cub Scouts and inform them that today you are going to use knot apps to learn to tie a new knot.
- Ask Cub Scouts to sit with their parent or legal guardian. Using your smart device, share the selected knot app. Ask everyone to find it on their smart device.
- Ask Scouts to find a new knot they’ve never tried before on the app.
- Ask Scouts to use the app to learn how to tie the knot.
- When everyone has learned their knot, have them demonstrate how to tie the knot to their patrol.
- How easy was it to learn the knot using the app?
- Did they use the video instructions or the written instructions?
Tip: Ask Cub Scouts to all tie the same knot but each use a different knot app.
