  • Cub Scouts will need their Lion handbook, page 20 
  • Crayons, enough to share 
  • Pencils, one for each Cub Scout 

Before the meeting: 

  1. Prepare the meeting space so Cub Scouts and adult partners can work on the activity together. 

During the meeting: 

  1. Gather the Cub Scouts and adult partners and share with them that when they are in trouble or if they see someone else in trouble it is important to call emergency services.  Ask the Cub Scouts if they know the number to call in case of an emergency. 
  2. Ask Cub Scouts when they think they should call 911.  Listen for these: 
    • If there is a fire where there isn’t supposed to be one. 
    • They see someone unconscious (they look like they are sleeping but they won’t wake up).  
    • They see someone has trouble breathing or stops breathing. 
    • They see someone is choking. 
    • They see a crime happening. 
    • If they see a car accident and there are no emergency services vehicles.  
  3. Tell Cub Scouts that since we don’t want to call 911 unless there is an emergency we can practice using the activity on page 20 of their Lion handbook. 
  4. Have Cub Scouts work with their adult partners to practice calling 911 by pushing the numbers on the activity on page 20.  adult partners will ask the questions that a 911 operator will ask.  Give the situation that the Cub Scout sees one of the adults in the den meeting grab their chest and fall to the ground. 
    • Where are you? Where is the scene? The location of the emergency, including the street address. 
    • Who’s involved? Is anyone hurt? Name(s) and/or physical description(s) of people involved. 
    • When did it happen? Is it going on right now? Time. 
  5. When everyone has time to practice 911 have adult partners work with their Cub Scout to come up with a list of five trusted adults.  Share with the den that young people should have at least five adults they have identified with their parent(s) or legal guardians with whom they can talk freely about their feelings and problems and who provide healthy attention and affection. A child who has such a network of trusted adults will be more difficult for an adult who abuses children to groom. The list of five adults might change depending on the child’s circumstances.  
  6. Have everyone list the five trusted adults on page 20 of the Lion handbook.
