  • Computer or smart device, on for every two Cub Scouts
  • Paper for every two Cub Scouts
  • Pencil for every two Cub Scouts

Before the meeting:

  1. Familiarize yourself with several weather apps. Possible choices include:
  2. For each set of Cub Scout buddies, identify two locations with varying weather conditions for a hypothetical campout for the upcoming weekend.
  3. Set up meeting space for Cub Scouts to share computer or smart device and a place to write.

During the meeting:

  1. Gather Cub Scouts and inform them that today they are going to discuss weather for a hypothetical campout this weekend in several different locations.
  2. Demonstrate how to use weather app to Cub Scouts.
  3. Have Cub Scouts buddy up and assign each buddy group two locations. Provide paper and pencil to each buddy group.
  4. Ask them to use the selected weather app and determine the weather for the assigned locations. They are to write down the weather for each of the locations and what they may need to prepare for the weather. They should consider:
    • Clothing
    • Modifications to the Scout Essentials
    • Camping supplies
  5. Share their findings with their patrol.

Tip: Modify the activity by assigning the same two locations to each buddy group but they use a different weather app. Discuss how weather apps may differ in their forecast.
