Rolls for Cub Scout Den and Pack Meetings ~ Den Leader Records

Den Leader’s Records

1. It is so important to have something you can always look back on to verify records.  This is a fast and simple way to have a permanent record.  If I mark a roll, I can go back at any point to update the rest of my records.  
2. Do not rely on the books the boys carry as your record of what they have earned.  You need to keep a current record for each boy as he completes each requirement.  A lot of times the books are not accurate.  It takes too much time for me to sign each boys book each time we pass off something, and there is not a place to record other awards or Faith in God.  You need to have a good system.
3. As boys come to den meeting, take a roll
4. Write down what achievements were accomplished during the meeting
5. Record on each boys record sheet what was accomplished.  I have a section in my binder for each boy that includes a chart for Bear Requirements, one for Belt Loops and pins, one for Faith in God, and one that I write on telling which month they earned patches and other scout awards.
6. Once a month, a newsletter is sent home with information on what is going on in cub scouts this past month, in future months, and goals we have passed off by week so parents can mark it off in the cub’s binder.  If the cubs missed a week, the parents know what to do at home to catch the cub up so he can earn awards with the other cubs at the next pack meeting.

Cub Scout Space Derby Ideas

Alpine District Cubs asked us to provide storage for their files for this post. ENJOY!

For our Cub Scout pack, we found out that it worked good to rotate between the different derbies, and not do only the Pinewood Derby every 3rd or 4th year.  There are so many different and fun derbies you can do... Raingutter Regatta, Space Derby, Cubannapolis, Pinewood Derby, and Paper Rockets to name a few.  If we had the Pinewood Derby every year, it got pretty competitive.  If we had space in between, it was a lot funner, and the parents didn't make it as competitive.

For the pre-opener of our Cub Scout Space Derby, we lined up the rockets and had papers by each of the rockets.  Everyone went down the table, and wrote something on each paper that said what name they thought the rocket should be named.

See the lines for the Space Derby going across the room with the planets hanging from them?

Here is how the rockets attach to the Space Derby line.  We used the chalk board to keep track of the race results.

After each race, they measured to see how far the rockets went.  Sometimes they had "races" to see how close you could come to a certain planet, so they would have to decide how many times to wind the rubber band.

For the awards, we wrote some of the fun names the kids made up around the outside of the boys awards.  It turned out to be a fun night!
