  • No supplies needed 

Before the meeting: 

  1. Ask parents and legal guardians of Cub Scouts if there is a grandparent who lives locally who would be willing to visit the den to share their thoughts on citizenship.  If no grandparent can come in person, consider having a grandparent do a virtual visit.  
  2. Once a grandparent is identified contact the grandparent and give them the details of the meeting, date, time, and location.  Inform them that the den is interested in hearing about what they think being a good citizen means.  Questions to consider: What can someone do to be a good citizen? When was the first election you voted in?  How are things different today compared to when they grew up? 
  3. The day before the meeting confirm the details of the meeting with the visiting grandparent. 

During the meeting: 

  1. Gather the Cub Scouts and adult partners.  Introduce the grandparent to the den. 
  2. Allow the grandparent to share their thoughts on citizenship and then give Cub Scouts and adult partners a chance to ask questions about citizenship to the grandparent. 
  3. When finished thank the grandparent for visiting.  

After the meeting: 

  1. Send the guest speaker a thank you note.
