During the meeting: 

  1. Gather the Cub Scouts and tell them that the Cub Scout Six Essentials are the six things they should have with them when they go on an outdoor adventure either in Cub Scouting or when they are with their family.   
  2. Review the Cub Scout Six Essentials with the Cub Scouts using what you learned in the Cub Scout Six Essentials video.  
  3. Have Cub Scouts with their adult partner complete the activity on page 43 of the Tiger handbook.
