Before the meeting: 

1. Inform adult partners to come with the names and phone numbers of five trusted adults.  These trusted adults should have been identified in the Bobcat requirement for the exercises in the pamphlet “How to Protect Your Child from Child Abuse: A Parent’s Guide”. 
2. Set up the meeting space to allow Cub Scouts and adult partners to work on the activity on page 23 of the Tiger Handbook. 
3. Set up an area free of obstacles to conduct a relay race. 
4. Secure additional adult leadership to assist with relay race. 
5. Make two sets of cards for the relay race.  On a 3”x5” index card writes one scenario below.  On the front write the scenario on the back write the answer. 

• • If you see someone breaking into a car?  (yes) 
  • If your brother or sister breaks your toy? (no) 
  • If you are with a friend and they fall and are bleeding a lot? (yes) 
  • If you fall down and scrap your elbow? (no) 
  • If you see a building on fire? (yes) 
  • If you can’t find your homework? (no) 
  • If you see a car get into an accident? (yes) 
  • If a stranger approaches you and asks you to get in their car? (yes) 

During the meeting: 

1. Have Cub Scouts open their handbook to page 23. 
2. Ask Cub Scouts if they know how to contact emergency services using a smartphone.  
3. Ask adult partners to pull out their smartphones and show their Cub Scout how to access emergency services using their phones.  If an adult partner does not have a smart phone have them demonstrate how to dial 911 on the activity sheet.  
4. Discuss when it is appropriate to call emergency services, 911, and what to expect when they call.  
   Police officers, firefighters, and EMTs are busy helping people with real emergencies, it is important never to call 911 except in a real emergency.
   If you need to call 911, remember: 
   • Always know where you are. 
   • Do not hang up! 
   • Answer all the dispatcher’s questions. The dispatcher is the person who answers the phone. 
   • Never be afraid to call if you have a real emergency. They can help you at any time of the day or night. 

5. Divide the den into two teams, including adult partners.  The teams each create a single file line.  20 feet away the den leader and one other adult stand with a deck of scenarios cards.  On the signal, the first person for each team will run to their assigned adult who has a deck of scenario cards.  The adult will show the scenario (and read it for Cub Scouts) and the person has to say yes or no if they should call 911.  If they get it correct, they run back to their team and sit down.  If they get it wrong, they run back to their team and they must go again, they repeat until they get it right.  The first team to have everyone sitting wins.  
6. After the relay race, ask adult partners to then discuss the five trusted adults with their Cub Scout and write their phone numbers on the activity sheet.
