Lion Art Supply Drive

This activity will take two meetings.  One will be for Cub Scouts to decorate boxes and posters for the art supply drive.  The other will be collecting and donating art supplies.  

Before the meeting: 

1. Identify a local homeless or transitional shelter with children that will accept art donations.  Meet with them to discuss conducting an art drive and identify details and dates. 
2. Share details of the drive with all parents, legal guardians, and adult partners in the den. 

During the meeting: 

1. Inform Cub Scouts of the organization that you are conducting the art drive with.  Include who they serve and the need for art supplies to help kids who are going through a difficult time. 
2. Explain that today the den will decorate donation boxes and make promotional posters. 
3. Explain that the posters and collection boxes should include the date when the art supplies will be collected, the Pack number and den, and who the art supplies are being collected for. 

After the meeting: 

1. Deliver the donation boxes to the agreed-upon collection locations. 
2. After one week collect the boxes and deliver them to the organization you collected them for. 

At the next pack meeting ask Cubmaster to recognize the den for their project.
