- Create a finish line 10ft. away from the 2”x4”.

During the meeting:

Have Cub Scouts gather at the obstacle course.
Demonstrate how to run the course. Jump over the low hurdle, duck under the high bar, jump over the low hurdle, duck under the high bar, jump over the low hurdle, walk across the 2”x4”, go through the Hula Hoops™ by jumping from one to the next, walk across the 2”x4”, then to the finish line.
Give each Cub Scout a turn to run the obstacle course and record how fast they did it.
Allow each Cub Scout to run the course at least twice to see if they can improve their time.
