Before the meeting: 

1. Learn how to make a cardboard Skyscraper by watch this YouTube video, ”Cardboard Skyscraper.” 
2. Glue all the boxes closed and allow them to dry. 
3. Set up the meeting location to allow Cub Scouts and adult partners enough space to make their skyscrapers.  

During the meeting: 

1. Gather the Cub Scouts and adult partners. Share with them that during this activity each Cub Scout will work with their adult partner to make a cardboard skyscraper.  
2. Share with the den that buildings are not built by one person, it requires a lot of people who can each do something different. Some people know how to make walls, some know how to paint, and others know how to put in windows and doors.  They all work together to make the building.  As you work together explore the different things that need to be done, gluing, cutting, and drawing to see what you enjoy the most. 
3. Have each Cub Scout and adult partner make a skyscraper. 
   • Glue the 20” x 24” flat cardboard on top of the large box, this will give it extra strength. 
   • Glue the two medium boxes horizontally on top each other than onto the large box. 
   • Glue the three small boxes vertically on top of each other. 
   • Glue the plastic cup on top of the smallest box. 
   • Take the 6” x 6” flat cardboard and cut out a circle (this will be the clock.) 
   • Glue the 13.75” x 15” flat cardboard vertically on the front of the large box. 
   • Glue the 28” x 9” flat cardboard vertically on the front of the two medium boxes. 
   • Attach the 6” cardboard circle you cut out to the top of the flat cardboard you glued to the medium boxes to make the clock. 
   • Glue the 30” x 5” flat cardboard vertically on the front of the three small boxes. 
   • Decorate the lower and top of the skyscraper before putting them together, it is easier this way so you can decorate the building with it lying flat on the workspace. 
   • Once decorated glue the upper part of the building to the lower part of the building. 
4. Once everyone has completed their skyscraper ask Cub Scouts and adult partners what they like about the project.  Ask them to share how they worked together and if there was a time when it was good to have two people working on the building instead of just one.
