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.

• CLICK HERE to print up a Space Derby certificate you can give out.

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!

Cub Scout Award & Patch Pocket Certificate to be given out at Pack Meeting to recognize any completed award

We have a lot of Pocket Certificates for the new Cub Scout adventures the boys can pass off, but there are many awards the boys can receive that are not adventures.  This pocket Certificate is for all those other awards that can be earned, and can also be used for the adventures.  This certificate can be used for Tigers, Wolves, Bears, and Webelos.  

There are spaces on the card to enter the Scout's name, award earned, den, pack number, date award was given or earned, Den Leader and Cubmaster signatures. Use this to recognize the Cub Scouts during your monthly pack meeting.

This prints 8 pocket certificates, per page.  These cards work well when the boys are saving their cards in the baseball card plastic holders because they are upright.  This way they are facing the right direction as boys look through their card collection.

Wolf Cub Scout Adventure Pocket Certificate to be given out at Pack Meeting to recognize completed adventures

The new Cub Scout program contains a series of “adventures” which Cub Scouts (individually and as part of their den) will experience while working on their badge of rank. Once a Cub Scout has completed the six core adventures—including one on “Duty to God” and one of his den’s choosing—he will have earned his badge of rank. 

This pocket certificate is given to a Cub Scout in recognition of his completion of an “adventure.” 

There are spaces on the card to enter the Scout's name, adventure completed, pack number, date he earned it, Den Leader and Cubmaster signatures. Use this to recognize the Cub Scouts during your monthly pack meeting.

This prints 8 pocket certificates, per page.  These "portrait" cards work well when the boys are saving their cards in the baseball card plastic holders.  Then they are facing the right way as boys look through their card collection.

First Aid Film Cannister Cub Scout Neckerchief Slides

We were asked by Alpine District Cubs to post this blog post here and store their PDF file for them...

For Roundtable this month, our Core Value was Health and Fitness.  We made campfire neckerchief slides, and we also made First Aid Kit neckerchief slides.  I have seen whole dens at Day Camp wearing these.  Then, if a boy needs a band aid, he has one and can put it on.  It can also pass off having a first aid kit for the younger boys.

To make these, you will need:

• film canisters
• first aid stickers I made and saved as a PDF you can print here (see below for what kind of labels, then print, and cut each label in half) or look at the bottom of the page for a jpg picture of it you can cut & paste if you don't want to print 60 above.
• band aids - I gave them 4 different sizes
• alcohol packets (I got 100 at Walmart for $1.99)
• black pipe cleaners (I cut into 1/3)
• safety pin
• and I also had them put in a Jolly Rancher Candy
• They used to put in 25 cents for a payphone - times have changed :)

To see more neckerchief slide ideas, click here

I used a drill with a 3/32 drill bit to drill 2 small holes in the back of the film cannister.

Then put in the black pipe cleaners, and twist the very ends, then fold the ends back so it won't poke you while you wear it.

Once you have in the pipe cleaner, and know where the back of the film canister is, put the first aid sticker on the front.

Stack the bandaids - I gave them one of each of 4 sizes, fold the alcohol packet in half and place it on top of the stack, then roll it up like a sleeping bag.

Place them in the container, add the safety pin and Jolly Rancher candy, and put the lid on.  You are done.  Hope you enjoy!
