The highlight of the Council's Annual Meeting and Recognition Dinner will be the presentation of the Silver Beaver Award to 23 distinguished Scouters. Please join us in honoring these individuals on Wednesday, May 23, at the St. Charles Convention Center.
Here's a game that goes with April's Cub Scout program theme, Cub Cafe: Waiter Obstacle Course
Materials
· Large tray, plastic or paper plate, plastic or paper cup
· utensils
· napkins
· small building blocks (used as food items, placed on the plate)
Place the plate, cup, utensils, and napkins on the tray. Boys can assist. Players take turns navigating an obstacle course marked with tables and chairs while carrying the tray. They can use both hands to carry the tray. This course could be run as either an informal challenge or a timed event.
Teaching children to be polite can be a challenge in a world where common courtesy is less and less common, but you can be successful by working at it a little at a time. Read more on this at Scouting Magazine's web site.
