  • Wolf handbook or Coin Rubbings worksheet found in Additional Resources
  • Printer
  • Pencil for each Cub Scout
  • Assortment of coins, at least three for each Cub Scout

Before the meeting:

  1. Either ask that Cub Scouts bring their Wolf handbook to the meeting or print the Coin Rubbings worksheet, enough for 1 for each Cub Scout.

During the meeting:

  1. Place the coins on a table. Ask Cub Scouts to gather around the table.
  2. Have Cub Scouts pick out 3 coins of various sizes and denominations.
  3. Have Cub Scouts place the coin on a smooth surface. Using the page in the handbook or the worksheet, place the paper on top of a coin. Hold the paper firmly to keep the coin steady.
  4. Tell Cub Scouts to use the side of the pencil lead, rub back and forth across the paper over the coin. Have them continue rubbing until the entire side of the coin is copied on the paper.
  5. Explain that when Cub Scouts are done with that side, they should repeat for the other side of the coin.
  6. On their coin rubbing paper, Cub Scouts write down:
    • Type of coin
    • Pictures
    • Year
    • Mint
