| How I Tell It
(Go See It!) | Good communication skills are
important for people of all ages. When people want to communicate with hundreds
or thousands of people at the same time, they may use a television or radio broadcast.
Visit our ESPN "broadcast booth" and experience what it feels like to
be on TV! | | Making
my Family Special | Every Tiger Cub has special
family memories. Maybe it is a family birthday party or a family vacation. We
will make a scrapbook for you to take home to help you remember those special
times. | | Where
I Live | Developing responsible citizenship
is one of the core values of Cub Scouting because communities are stronger when
the people who live in them know their community and are good neighbors to each
other. Join us as we learn about maps, directions and landmarks to help us better
understand the community we live in. | | Electives | |
| Play Along! | Maybe
you know someone who plays a musical instrument. Now you can play one, too! We
will make instruments out of household materials and play them together. |
| The Show Must
Go On | It is fun to pretend you are a different
person or even an animal. Together, we'll make puppets and put on our very own
puppet show in our special Puppet Theater! | | Snack
Time | We all love snacks! Join us as we learn
to make some special treats - and then eat them! | |
Feed the Birds | Birds
and other outdoor animals need to eat food each day just like you do. We will
create a bird feeder for you to take home and hang in your backyard. Then you
can watch the birds enjoy a meal! |

can help. This program will include activities related to recycling, protecting
our natural resources, and energy conservation. | |

| Art to Wear | Art
hangs on walls in museums and in galleries, but that's not all. In this Try-It,
you can develop your own artistic abilities and have fun with face painting, mask
making, papier-mache creation and more! | |
Puppets, Dolls & Plays | Creating
toys out of everyday materials is an old-fashioned art form. Make finger puppets
and yarn dolls, then stage a puppet show in our Puppet Theater! |
| Make-It Eat-It | We
eat to provide our bodies with fuel for energy and good health. Learning to grow,
prepare and cook our food is important, too. We'll learn how to make some of our
favorite foods and even create our own recipe book! | |
Plants | Plants have many uses
-food, lumber, medicine, paper-and they make oxygen that is part of the air we
breathe. We'll meet in our greenhouse as we learn about the different types of
leaves and how seeds grow. | | Science
in Action | The activities for this badge will help
you understand more about science in your life. Go on a scavenger hunt, make "weird
glop," and more. | | Space
Explorer | Learning about the stars and planets can
open up a whole new world. Astronomers and astronauts use telescopes, satellites,
spaceships and other scientific equipment to study space. You, too, can take a
step into space exploration. | | Fetch!
Patch | Join us in our Fetch! Lab as we conduct scientific
experiments, do engineering activities and learn how to get involved in community
service. Don't forget to watch Fetch! with Ruff Ruffman every weekday on PBS. |
