Before the Meeting: 

  1. Cub Scouts asked to bring a small container to the meeting. 
  2. Prepare a list of “kind” jobs that Cub Scouts can do.  This could include: 
    • Write a poem for a parent or sibling 
    • Playing a board game with a sibling 
    • Give a hug to a friend 
    • Give a compliment 
    • Help clear the dinner table 
    • Do a chore without being asked 
    • Send a homemade card to a grandparent 

Or anything else that the Cub Scout thinks is a kind gesture. 

During the Meeting: 

  1. Hand out five to six large popsicle sticks. Ask Cub Scouts to write one kind job per stick they could do for neighbors, friends, or family members. Use the prepared list to give ideas to the Cub Scouts. 
  2. Using craft supplies, Cub Scouts decorate their container. When the container is completed, Cub Scouts can fill the container with their kind job sticks. 
  3. When they are ready to do a kind job, they can  pull a stick out of their container
