During the meeting: 

  1. Inform Cub Scouts of the organization that you are conducting the book drive with.  Include who they serve and the need for books. 
  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 books will be collected, the Pack number and den, and who the books are being collected for. 

After the meeting:
