  • Computer or smart device, on for every two Cub Scouts

Before the meeting:

  1. Familiarize yourself with several knot apps. Possible choices include:
  2. Set up meeting space for Cub Scouts to share computer or smart device with their adult.

During the meeting:

  1. Gather Cub Scouts and inform them that today you are going to use knot apps to learn to tie a new knot.
  2. 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.
  3. Ask Scouts to find a new knot they’ve never tried before on the app.
  4. Ask Scouts to use the app to learn how to tie the knot.
  5. 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.
