  • Each Cub Scout and adult partner brings their own bike, bike helmet, and any other safety bike gear 
  • For those who don’t have their own bike or bike helmet coordinate bikes and helmets to borrow 
  • Large sidewalk chalk 

Before the meeting: 

  1. Identify a flat paved service free of obstacles that is about 94 ft. x 50 ft. (the size of a basketball court) or larger.  If using a parking lot or other location used by cars make sure to get permission to block off the area from traffic and use traffic cones to block off the area during the activity.  
  2. If you have not already done so, become familiar with the Bicycle Safety guidelines found on the BSA Sports and Activities page.   
  3. A day before the meeting remind Cub Scouts, parents, legal guardians, and adult partners of the meeting date, time, and location and to bring their bikes, bike helmets, and any other safety gear, and to dress appropriately as you will be riding bikes.  
  4. Draw a bike safety course using chalk and make the course large enough for adult partners to maneuver their bikes on the course.  If the paved service is black top white or yellow chalk works best if the paved service is concrete blue, purple, or red works best.  Your course should have at least one of each of the following elements: 
    • Clear starting point.  At the starting point each participant does a safety check on their bike and gear. 
    • An intersection where they must demonstrate the proper hand signal for turning left and right. 
    • A crosswalk area where they must get off their bike and walk across. 
    • A stop sign. 
    • A long straight away. 
    • A slalom course with three slaloms. 
    • A finishing point.  

During the meeting: 

  1. Gather the Cub Scouts and adult partners and review the Bicycle Safety guidelines found on the BSA Sports and Activities page.   
  2. Introduce the bike safety course and do a walk-through of the course to demonstrate each element of the course. 
  3. Have Cub Scouts prepare their bikes and put on their safety gear. 
  4. Establish an order for Cub Scouts to run the safety course before having adult partners complete the course.
