Activity Consent Form, one for each Cub Scout 

Before the meeting: 

  1. Identify a nursery, garden, community garden, botanical garden or any other location with plants that will give an instructional lesson on gardening to the Cub Scouts and allow them to plant something.  
  2. Contact the location and arrange a visit.  Inform the contact of the size of the den and that they are kindergarten-age youth with their adult partners.  Inform them that you would like them to share information about gardening and have them provide an opportunity for the Cub Scouts to plant something.  What they plant does not have to go home with them. 
  3. Confirm the date and time of the visit and the contact person for the location. 
  4. Before the visit, parents and legal guardians complete activity consent forms for each Cub Scout. 
  5. Inform Cub Scouts, parents, legal guardians, and adult partners of the date, time, and location of the visit.  Have a designated gathering area. 

During the meeting: 

  1. Meet the Cub Scouts and adult partners in the designated gathering area.  Remind Cub Scouts that part of the Scout Law is to be friendly, courteous, and kind and to keep that in mind during their visit. 
  2. Meet with the contact and go on the tour or start the program. 
  3. Make sure that Cub Scouts get a chance to plant something.  What they plant does not have to go home with them.  
  4. Ask Cub Scouts and adult partners what they liked about the visit and to say one thing that they learned from the visit. 

After the meeting: 

  1. Send a thank you note to the contact.
