Scout
Law: Helpful
There
are many ways that people can be helpful. One way is by volunteering
time to help others. Cub Scouts, Scout leaders, and coaches are
examples of volunteers. Another way people help is by doing jobs that
provide a service. This month we celebrate those who help out in
their homes, schools, and communities.
Theme:
Jobs, Jobs, Jobs
Gathering
Activity: What is My Occupation?
Materials:
cards with one occupation written on each, duct tape
As
people arrive, tape one card on each person's back. They do not know
what their card says. They must circulate and ask questions that can
be answered “yes” or “no.” They may ask each person only one
question. (In small groups, a second round of questions might be
asked)

council name, city, state, etc. Arrange a variety of occupational
hats on the table to hold the business cards and awards.

describes the adventures completed.) You have worked hard and have
grown in knowledge and skills. I am pleased to present to you a
business card with your new rank/skills. (He presents the card to

Activity:
What Will I Be?
At tables around the room, parents and
staff round-robin stations featuring their careers. Den members
travel from station to station to learn about the careers of pack
family members or guests.
Game:
Job Shopping
The Cubs sit in a circle. One Cub goes
outside the room; while he is away the others decide what he should
be when he comes back. If they decide on a policeman, for example,
they call him back and he has to ask each Cub in turn what he has to
buy for himself. One will say black boots, another a whistle, another
a flashlight and so on. When he guesses his job, or has asked 10
questions, a new person goes out of the room.
