  • Modular building system pieces such as LEGOs, Lincoln Logs, or K’NEX (same pieces used in requirement 1)

Before the meeting:

  1. Gather enough modular building pieces for each Cub Scout to be able to build an additional structure.
  2. Set up meeting space for Cub Scouts to have room to select building pieces and build their chosen structure.

During the meeting:

  1. Tell Cub Scouts that they will be building another structure of anything they would like, using the same type of building materials. They should build something different. It can be real or fictional.
  2. Allow time for Cub Scouts to build their structure.
  3. When completed, have Cub Scouts describe their model.
  4. Ask Cub Scouts what challenges they had with building their model.
    • Look for answers about connecting different types of pieces to each other.
    • If you had to take a piece of someone else’s model and put it on their model, how would you take it off without damaging it?
    • How would you attach it to their model?
    • Could they take any piece of anyone’s model and easily attach it to theirs?
