Training Highlight: Pack Talent Show
It’s time to perform and be in the spotlight! Dens can make musical instruments to be used in the pack meeting variety show. The variety show could include skits, songs, puppet shows, magic tricks—you name it. Have the boys and their families participate in the variety show and record the show. Dens can create posters announcing the show and make programs listing the acts. “Commercials” could be videotaped during den meetings and shown between acts; involve the parents. Take a photo for the local newspaper or a video clip for the local TV station and put Cub Scouting in the spotlight.
Pack Planning This month’s variety show or talent show spotlights the talents of boys, leaders, and parents in the pack. Props, musical instruments, and costumes will help make the show a roaring success. Appoint committees to share in the planning: *Decorations Committee. Decorate the room to resemble a movie theater. Display movie posters and large movie tickets.
*Props Committee. Set up a stage area. Make a director’s clapboard, megaphone, and movie camera and provide a director’s chair.
*Program Committee. Ensure that all ceremony items are ready, including a U.S. flag and stand.
*Welcoming Committee. Like ticket takers at a movie theater, take tickets from attendees and direct them to the “theater.” *Refreshments Committee. Have a movie theater–style snack bar.
You can use the Campfire Program Planning Sheet to organize your talent show. You can download a copy at http://www.scouting.org/
