Before the meeting:

  1. Prepare the meeting space to allow Cub Scouts and adult partners to move around.

During the meeting:

  1. Demonstrate the Cub Scout sign, salute, and handshake found on page 7 of the Tiger handbook.
  2. Explain that the Cub Scout sign is used to get everyone’s attention. When you see someone use the Cub Scout sign that means to stop what you are doing and listen.
  3. Explain that the Cub Scout salute is used to show respect to the US flag during flag ceremonies. We do not use the Cub Scout salute to salute people.
  4. Explain that the Cub Scout handshake is a special way to say fellow to fellow Cub Scouts.
  5. Have Cub Scouts and adult partners space apart by arm’s length.
  6. Explain the rules to Simon Says. To play the game the den leader will call out an action by saying “Simon says.” For example, “Simon says, give the Cub Scout sign.” Everyone is to do that action.
  7. If the den leader calls out an action without saying “Simon says” anyone who did that action has to sit down.
  8. The den leader calls out the different actions of Cub Scout sign, Cub Scout salute, and Cub Scout handshake. To do the handshake the person will just put their hand out, they don’t have to shake hands with anyone.
  9. The last person standing wins.
  10. If time allows you can have Cub Scout color Page 7 of the Tiger handbook that demonstrates the Cub Scout sign, salute, and handshake.
