  • Tent, one for every two or three Cub Scouts

Before the meeting.

  1. Contact parents and legal guardians and gather enough tents so that every 2 or 3 Cub Scouts can share a tent.
  2. Set up meeting space with plenty of room to set up a tent.
  3. Check to make sure that the tents have all the pieces needed to set up.

During the meeting:

  1. Tell Cub Scouts they’re going to have a tent set up race.
  2. Divide Cub Scouts into groups of two or three.
  3. Give each group a tent and have them spread out so that they have plenty of room.
  4. When you say GO, Cub Scouts race to set up their tents.
  5. The first group that correctly sets their tent up is the winner.
  6. If the tents are different have them compete again with the other tent.
  7. After the race ask the Cub Scouts what they think made them successful in setting up the tent together and what challenges they faced and how they overcame them.

Tip: This requirement can be combined with requirements 2.
