Before the meeting:

  1. Print Coin Designer Challenge worksheets, one for each Cub Scout.

During the meeting:

  1. Explain to Cub Scouts that they are going to design their own coin. Pass out the worksheet.
  2. Ask Cub Scouts to choose a theme for the coin. It could be related to a favorite hobby, a historical event, a fictional story, or something else of personal significance.
  3. Have Cub Scouts think about what they’ll put on the obverse (front). Give them some ideas such as:
    • Portrait: Consider including a portrait, either of a fictional character or someone important to the theme.
    • Date: Add a year or date that holds meaning for the theme.
    • Symbolism: Incorporate symbols that represent the theme or story. For example, if it’s about space exploration, include stars, planets, or rockets.
    • Denomination: Clearly label the coin’s value if it’s part of a play or educational activity.
    • Have Cub Scouts think about what they’ll put on the reverse (back) such as:
  4. Design Continuation: Ensure that the reverse complements the theme on the obverse.
    • Motto or Slogan: Add a motto, slogan, or catchphrase that relates to the theme or story.
    • Country or Origin: Include a fictional country or origin for the coin. Kids can get creative with this aspect.
    • Edge: Design the edge of the coin, considering unique patterns, lettering, or features.
  5. After Cub Scouts have finished their designs, have them take turns sharing it with the rest of the den.
