Before the meeting: 

  1. Contact Cub Scouts’ parents or legal guardians and ask that they write down their address for their Cub Scout to bring to the next meeting or use Scoutbook to identify each Cub Scouts address. 

During the meeting: 

  1. Tell the Cub Scouts that we use maps to help us find where we are, where we need to go, and how to get there.  The first step is knowing where you are.  Today we are going to identify on a map where you live.  
  2. Navigate to Google Maps on the computer or tablet.  
  3. Have Cub Scouts gather around the computer or tablet.  
  4. Ask each Cub Scout in turn to type their address into the Google Maps search bar. 
  5. Ask questions: 
    • What do you see on the map near your home? 
    • Does anything look like it does not belong on a map? 
    • Can you find your school?
