  • Have Cub Scouts bring the tent they plan on using for the campout or have the tents that will be provided, one for every two Cub Scouts.
  • Cub Scouts will need their Bear handbook.

Before the meeting:

  1. Find a local park, campground, or field that is big enough to set up tents.
  2. If the den or pack provides tents, set the tents up so you are familiar with how they are set up and to ensure there are no missing pieces.

During the meeting:

  1. Divide Cub Scouts into buddies.
  2. Give each pair of buddies a tent and ask them to set up the tent.
  3. After all the tents have been pitched. Ask the following questions:
    • What was the hardest part about putting together your tent?
    • How could you work better as a team next time?
    • If we are on a campout, where should we put our tent?
    • What do you think determines a good tent site?

Tip: If Cub Scouts are having a hard time answering questions, have them turn to the Let’s Camp Adventure in their handbook to help answer questions.
