This activity is designed to be done after watching the Protect Yourself Rules Video in Requirement 1.
Before the meeting:
- Identify a safe area free of obstacles for Cub Scouts to run during the activity.
- Set up the meeting space so Cub Scouts and adult partners can work on the activity together.
During the meeting:
- Gather the Cub Scouts and adult partners after watching the Protect Yourself Rules video. Ask them who remembers what to do if someone makes you feel unsafe? “Shout, Run, Tell”.
- Have Cub Scouts work with their adult partners to color page 19 of the Lion handbook.
- When everyone is done inform everyone that it is now time for them to practice how to shout, run, and tell.
- Have the Cub Scouts line up a single file line with each youth about 10 yards away from their adult partner. When the den leader signals “Go,” the first Cub Scout in line will yell something like “No!” or “Stay away from me!” or anything else they would say if someone did something that made them feel uncomfortable.
- The first Cub Scout will then run to their adult partner. When this is done, the next Cub Scout gets a turn.
- Repeat until all the Cub Scouts have had a chance to practice how they would Shout, Run, and Tell.
- During this activity, allow each Cub Scout to come up with what they want to shout.
