Before the meeting: 

  1. Become familiar with the steps to building a Cub Scout board game. 
    • The goal of this game is to reach the Arrow of Light by going all the way through the Cub Scout program from Lion to Arrow of Light. 
    • The game board will have 55 spaces – A start space, 6 spaces for the 6 required Lion Adventures and 2 spaces for 2 elective Lion Adventures, a space for the Lion badge of rank,  6 spaces for the 6 required Tiger Adventures and 2 spaces for 2 elective Tiger Adventures, a space for the Tiger badge of rank, 6 spaces for the 6 required Wolf Adventures and 2 spaces for 2 elective Wolf Adventures, a space for the Wolf badge of rank, 6 spaces for the 6 required Bear Adventures and 2 spaces for 2 elective Bear Adventures, a space for the Bear badge of rank, 6 spaces for the 6 required Webelos Adventures and 2 spaces for 2 elective Webelos Adventures, a space for the Webelos badge of rank, 6 spaces for the 6 required Arrow of Light required Adventures and 2 spaces for 2 elective Arrow of Light Adventures, and a space for Arrow of light.  
    • The Cub Scouts will determine what is placed on the index cards.  On one side they can choose to name a spot on the board, if you pick that card you move to that space.  They can put a number (Plus or Minus) and if you pick that card you move those number of spaces.  They can put a badge or rank (except for Arrow of Light) and if you pick that card you move to that rank. 
    • Players will roll both dice and move the number of spaces on the board. 
    • The Cub Scouts will determine when you pick a card, give them these options so they can choose more than one. 
    • At the beginning of your turn, you can choose to pick a card or roll the dice 
    • If you roll doubles pick a card 
    • If you land on a badge of rank pick a card 
    • The winner is the first to reach the Arrow of Light badge of rank space. 
  2. Set up the meeting space for coloring and cutting and a space for everyone to play the game when it is completed.  

During the meeting: 

  1. Gather the Cub Scouts and adult partners and explain the Cub Scout board game.  Have some Cub Scouts and their adult partners work on making the board and have some Cub Scouts and adult partners work on making the cards. 
  2. When everything is made, discuss with the Cub Scouts on when someone should have to pick a card, once there is an agreement then review the rules and have everyone play. 
  3. After there is a winner ask the member of the den what rules would they change to make the game more fun?
