Directions

Before the meeting:

Become familiar with what a renewable resource and a non-renewable resource is.
- Renewable resources are physical materials that humans need and value that can be replenished at the rate it is used. For example, bamboo flooring, bamboo can be grown at the rate at which it is used.
- Non-renewable resources are physical materials that humans need and value that cannot be replenished at all or it takes longer to replenish than the rate at which it is being used.
A week before the meeting remind adult partners, parents, and legal guardians that you would like Cub Scouts to bring three items that are everyday items from your house. Explain the purpose is to identify items made from renewable and non-renewable resources.

During the meeting:

Define renewable resources and non-renewable resources.
Have Cub Scouts show and talk about the items they brought. Ask the Cub Scouts and adult partners if they think an item is made from renewable or non-renewable resources. Keep in mind that something can be made from a non-renewable resource and still be recycled. This activity is about the resource it is made from, not if it can be recycled.
Instruct the Cub Scout to circle the items on page 29 of the Tiger handbook that are renewable resources and place an “x” on those items that are non-renewable.
Instruct the Cub Scout to color the items on page 30 that are natural resources.
