During the meeting: 

  1. Explain to Cub Scouts that it is important to have the correct string length for their yo-yo.  
  2. Hand out the String Length worksheet or have them open their handbook to the correct page.  
  3. Give them time to fill out the worksheet questions.

    • The proper length string will prevent the yo-yo from hitting the floor when performing tricks. 
    • The proper length string will provide enough distance to throw it and enough energy for it to come back.
