Supply List

No “extra” supplies needed, just Cub Scouts and their shoes

Directions

Before the meeting:

Set up the meeting location so adult partners can work with their Cub Scouts on putting on and taking off their shoes.

During the meeting:

As everyone arrives ask that they please remove their shoes before entering the meeting location. Ask adult partners to help their Cub Scouts properly remove their shoes. If they have laces, the laces should be untied before taking them off.
Have everyone place their shoes in a neat row outside the door.
Gather the Cub Scouts and adult partners. Share with them that in many parts of Asia, Eastern Europe, and the Middle East, shoes are never worn inside homes, and it can be seen as a sign of disrespect for guests to enter a host’s home without leaving them at the door. If you go to a friend’s house, you should ask if it is OK to keep your shoes on. For some, this is a tradition that may be based on keeping the home a sacred place. It may also be based on keeping outside dirt from entering the house.
Conduct another Cub Scout Activity that can be done without shoes, such as Requirement 1 or 2 of the I’ll Do It Myself Adventure.
After the meeting have adult partners work with their Cub Scout to properly put on their shoes.
