Directions
Before the meeting:
Become familiar with Stop, Drop, and Roll method of putting out a fire when something you are wearing catches on fire. Review the information found on the U.S. Fire Administration website.
Identify an area of the meeting location that is flat and free of obstacles where Cub Scouts and adult partners can participate in the Stop, Drop, and Roll relay.
During the meeting:
Gather the Cub Scouts and adult partners. Inform them that in the case you ever have something that you are wearing catch on fire you are to stop, drop, and roll until the fire is out. Demonstrate stop, drop, and roll.
Inform the Cub Scouts and adult partners that they will practice by playing a game. Line Cub Scouts up in a single file line. Approximately 15 feet away from them, line up adult partners in a single file line facing the Cub Scouts.
On your signal the first adult partner will stop, drop, and then roll to the Cub Scout line. When they reach the Cub Scouts the first Cub Scout will stop, drop, and roll until they reach the adult partner line. Continue until everyone has demonstrated stop, drop, and roll.
