  • 3 posterboards, 11”x17” each
  • Markers or crayons
  • Tape

Before the meeting:

  1. Speak to the Cubmaster and ask for some time at the next pack meeting for the Cub Scouts to explain the establishment of a recycling program at pack events.
  2. With the pack committee, establish a method of using the bins that the Cub Scouts will be creating to pack meetings, activities, and campouts.

During the den meeting:

  1. Discuss with Cub Scouts the concepts of reduce, reuse, and recycle. Ask them to share ideas on how they can each reduce, reuse, and recycle.
    • Reduce means to use less. 
    • Reuse means to use something more than once. 
    • Recycle means to make new items out of old ones.
  2. Share with Cub Scouts that they will be establishing recycling bins for their pack to use at meetings, activities, and campouts.
  3. Using the posterboard, have Cub Scouts create three signs:
    • Paper and cardboard
    • Bottles and cans
    • Plastic
  4. Tape one sign to each bin.
  5. Work with Cub Scouts to decide who will be speaking at the next pack meeting about reduce, reuse, recycle and the recycling program for the pack. Encourage the Cub Scouts to have each of them speak about one point.

At the pack meeting:

  1. Cub Scouts explain the concepts of reduce, reuse, and recycle to their fellow Cub Scouts.
  2. Cub Scouts show the recycling bins and ask that they be used at pack meetings, campouts, and pack activities.
