Adding action to your program can make your den and pack meetings more productive! And Fun!! With the right games and activities, not only will you keep Cub Scouts active, they’ll also have learned something from the activity.
- How to harness and redirect Cub Scout energy
- Which games to play and how to avoid games that leave players on the outside looking in
