Cub Scouts Give Thanks - November Theme

Thanks to Mary Halvorson for donating this idea. She is a Webelos Den Leader from Pack 68 of the Hobble Creek District, Utah National Parks Council.  

One of the requirements in the LDS Faith in God booklet that counts towards the BSA Religious Square Knot reads: "Write a letter to a teacher, your parents, or your grandparents telling them what you appreciate and respect about them." If you want to take this a step further by teaching boys how to address an envelope it's an experience you won't forget. Do they know their own address for a return address? Do they know where to write both the mailing address and the return address? Do they know where the stamp goes? Do they know their city and state? The first time I did this I thought it was a no brainer but truly the first experience for most of them. It will take longer than you think but the recipient will have a wonderful surprise!

SKIT - THE GHOST WITH THE BLOODY FINGER -HALLOWEEN SKIT

SKIT - THE GHOST WITH THE BLOODY FINGER

This skit was published in the September 2011 issue of Baloo’s Bugle.

The great thing about this Cub Scout skit is its flexibility with the number of participants. You need a narrator, a ghost, and a Cub Scout. You can use as many of the following characters as you want. If you only have 4 or 5 boys, use only that many. If you have more than 12, pair them up so that you have 2 pumpkins, 2 spiders, etc.

Jack-o-lantern/Pumpkin

Spider

Vampire

Black Cat

Skeleton

Werewolf

Bat

Frankenstein

Mummy

Zombie

Owl

Witch/Warlock

Narrator: One night a ghost was out walking, and he met a jack-o-lantern.

Ghost: “I am the ghost with the bloody finger!”

Jack-o-lantern: Screams, and runs away.

Narrator: “Next the ghost met a spider.”

Ghost: “I am the ghost with the bloody finger!”

Spider: Screams, and runs away.

Narrator: “Next the ghost met vampire.”

Ghost: “I am the ghost with the bloody finger!”

Continue for as many characters as you need.

Narrator: “Then the ghost met a Cub Scout.”

Cub Scout: “Well, put a band-aid on it!”
