Pet Responsibilities

Before the meeting:

1. Print Caring for Chosen Animal and Pet Care Chart worksheets, one for each Cub Scout.
2. Set up meeting space for Cub Scouts to be able to fill out worksheets.

During the meeting:

1. Have a group discussion about pet responsibilities and care required for the family pets or an animal that would make for a good family pet.
2. Using the Caring for Chosen Animal worksheet have the Cub Scouts complete the worksheet.
3. Using the Pet Care Chart worksheet have the Cub Scouts fill out the responsibilities to care for a pet for a week.
4. Have the Cub Scouts share their responses with the den.

Tip: A pet is not necessary to fulfill the requirement. The objective is to know and understand the responsibilities.
