  • Cub Scouts will need their Lion handbook, page 42
  • Wire clothes hanger, one for each Cub Scout
  • 13” x 52” piece of yellow felt, one for each Cub Scout
  • Craft Scissors, one for each Cub Scout
  • 4 oz bottle of blue fabric paint
  • 4 oz bottle of red fabric paint
  • 4 oz bottle of white fabric paint
  • 4 oz bottle of black fabric paint
  • Hot glue gun, 1 for every 2 Cub Scouts
  • 10 hot glue sticks

Before the meeting:

  1. Become familiar with how to make a Lion bag found on page 42 of the Lion handbook.
    • Drape the felt over the hanger. Glue the felt together below the hanger to keep it from sliding off.
    • Fold the felt up on both sides. Glue the edges to form pockets.
    • On one side, add a strip of glue in the middle to form two pockets.
    • Add your handbook, neckerchief and slide, belt or other items in the pockets.
  2. Make a Lion bag to use as an example.
  3. Set up the meeting location so Cub Scouts and adult partners can work together to make their bag.

During the meeting:

  1. Gather the Cub Scouts and adult partners and share with them that part of being a good Cub Scout is taking care of your things. One way to take care of your things is to have a place to put them when you are not using them. You Cub Scout Handbook, your neckerchief, your neckerchief slide, your Cub Scout belt and Adventure belt loops can all be put away properly in a Lion bag.
  2. Show your Lion bag as an example.
  3. Have adult partners work with their Cub Scout to make the Lion bag found on page 42 of the Lion handbook. Have Cub Scouts use the fabric paint to decorate and make their Lion bag their own.
  4. Only adult partners are to use the hot glue gun.
  5. Allow fabric paint to dry before using.
