Cub Scout Participation Chart

October 4, 2013 By Michelle Barneck 3 Comments

In Cub Scouts we start each week by repeating the Pledge of Allegiance, the Cub Scout Promise and the Law of the Pack. We work with the Wolves so it is good practice to help them learn it for the rest of their time in Cubs. Between asking for a volunteer for each one, them looking for it in their book and standing up and sitting it each time was taking up to 20 minutes to get through this which is ridiculous considering we only have an hour. We needed a chart to streamline so each cub scout got a chance to practice.
I threw this participation chart together with some clothes pins, cardstock and paper scraps. I covered a clothespin with paper for each scouts name to rotate through the chart. I added an “arrow point” for each assignment and we just move the names down each week so everyone gets a turn.
We are a religious pack so we start and end each time with a prayer. You could easily leave these blank or change them to something specific for your pack. The boy who says the Pledge asks the boys to stand and the boy who does the Law of the Pack says ” too” to have them sit.  I left the last one blank, but the boys decided to add treats on that one so each scout will taking a turn bringing treats to share at the end. 

To eliminate the book searching, I wrote the Cub Scout Promise and the Law of the Pack on the back of the chart for a little cheat sheet until they have it memorized. The chart has been a huge help and now it takes under 10 minutes to get through all of it so we have the bulk of the time for the activity. 
Do you work in/have boys in scouts? What things have helped you?

    I’m SO impressed you just ‘threw’ this together. It’s super cute, clever, and practical… no big deal. Ha ha. I’m in the primary presidency and this idea would even be helpful for sharing time. Thanks for sharing your brilliant idea! I’m definitely not crafty at No Diets Allowed, but cute ideas like this make me want to give it a shot!
