  • Basketball hoop or large basket  

Before the meeting: 

  1. Set up the meeting space in a large open area.

During the meeting: 

  1. Explain to Cub Scouts that some people have a physical disability.  Examples of physical disabilities are people in wheelchairs because their legs do not work. Because of the physical disability, doing simple tasks may be difficult. 
  2. Tell Cub Scouts they are going to try to shoot baskets from a chair to help them understand physical disabilities.  
  3. Explain to Cub Scouts that they’ll play a game of “CUBS” while sitting in a chair.  
  4. Line up Cub Scouts. 
  5. Set up a chair from which Cub Scouts will sit and shoot the ball into the basket.   
  6. If a Cub Scout makes the shot, they are awarded a letter in “CUBS.”  
  7. Each time a Cub Scout makes a shot, they are awarded a letter. 
  8. Once all Cub Scouts have had a chance from the first location, move the chair to another location and have all Cub Scouts shoot the ball into the basket from the new location. 
  9. Continue until someone has completed spelling CUBS.
