Before the meeting: 

  1. Watch the four-minute video on the Cub Scout Six Essentials.  
  2. Take notes on the Cub Scout Six Essentials so you can explain the items to the den. 
  3. Gather Cub Scout Six essentials and four other items. 
  4. Prepare a place for Cub Scouts and adult partners to complete the activity on page 9 of the Lion handbook. 

During the meeting: 

  1. Gather the Cub Scouts and adult partners and share with them that whenever we go outside there are six items we always want to have with us, these are called the Cub Scout Six Essentials. 
  2. Explain each item of the Cub Scout Six Essentials. 
  3. Have adult partners work with their Cub Scouts to complete the activity on page 9 of the Lion handbook. 
  4. While they are working on the activity prepare the Kim’s Game by placing the Cub Scout Six Essentials and the other four items on a table and covering them with the bath towel. 
  5. When everyone is done with the activity in the handbook gather everyone around the table with the items covered with a towel. 
  6. Explain that you are going to lift the towel up and count to 20.  The objective is to try and memorize each item that is under the towel.  When you finish counting you will cover the items back up and the Cub Scouts with their adult partners will work together to try and remember each item that was under the towel. 
  7. Lift the towel up and count to 20. Cover the items after counting to 20. 
  8. Give Cub Scouts and adult partners a couple of minutes to try and remember all the items when you are ready call on a Cub Scout and adult partner and ask them to identify one item that was under the towel. 
  9. If they get it right, ask them if the item is part of the Cub Scout Six Essentials. 
  10. Go around the den giving each Cub Scout and adult partner team a chance to identify an item and if it is part of the Cub Scout Six Essentials.
