Supply List
No extra supplies needed, just a door – assuming your meeting location has a door
Directions
Before the meeting:
Identify a door where Cub Scouts can practice opening the door for their adult partner.
During the meeting:
Gather the Cub Scouts and adult partners and ask them what do they think the word courteous in the Scout Law means? Allow Cub Scouts to give answers.
Share that we can think of being courteous when we put the needs of others before our own needs. For example, in this activity, we are going to practice opening the door for our adult partner. You and your adult partner need to go through the door but by opening the door and allowing someone else to go first you are being courteous.
Have Cub Scouts and adult partners go through the door with the Cub Scout opening the door for their adult partner. Inform the Cub Scouts that you should let the person know that you will get the door for them by saying something like “Let me open the door for you.” If they are carrying something you could say “You have your hands full let me open the door for you.”
