  • Cub Scouts will need their Lion handbook, page 29 
  • Crayons, enough to share 

Before the meeting: 

  1. Prepare the meeting space so Cub Scouts and adult partners can complete the activity together. 

During the meeting: 

  1. Gather the Cub Scouts and adult partners and share with them that when we are done using something it becomes trash but may not be the end of that thing being useful.  Some items can be used again either in the same way or in different ways.  There are things like food that we don’t eat or that goes bad that is called organic and it naturally breaks down into food for plants.  Some items like broken glass can be gathered, heated, and made into new glass items.  Paper items are made from trees and so they can either break down in the ground or they can be gathered and mixed with water and other materials to make new paper. 
  2. Have the Cub Scouts work with their adult partners to complete the activity on page 29 of the Lion handbook. 
  3. When everyone is done have Cub Scouts take turns giving their answer for each item.
