  • Wooden display stand  
  • Craft foam sheets (some that are self-adhesive and some that are not) 
  • Rulers 
  • Pencils 
  • Permanent markers 
  • Scissors 
  • Heavy-duty tape such as duct tape 
  • Long piece of leather or plastic lacing for each Cub Scout 
  • Pony beads

Before the meeting: 

  1. Create a “name tag” for yourself to share with Cub Scouts in the appropriate size as an example. 
  2. Measure your name tag so that you will have the dimensions to share with Cub Scouts. 
  3. Tie a piece of string for each Cub Scout across the top of the display stand. 
  4. Write your den number at the top of the display stand. 

During the meeting: 

  1. Tell Cub Scouts that they will be making a den doodle starting with creating “name tags” for themselves. Show the example you made and share the approximate dimensions. 
  2. Put the craft foam, scissors, and permanent markers on a table, and ask Cub Scouts to collect the supplies they would like to use to create their own name tag. 
  3. Ask Cub Scouts to cut shapes out of the non-adhesive craft foam to make their name tag. Cub Scouts can cut smaller shapes (such as stars or hearts) for the self-adhesive craft foam to adhere to their badge. 
  4. Have Cub Scouts write their names on the name tags using the permanent markers. 
  5. Ask Cub Scouts to attach their name tag to one of the strings by taping it with a small piece of duct tape. 
  6. The den doodle can be used to track advancement by adding plastic pony beads for completed Adventures. Use a different color bead for each Adventure. 

Tip: Den doodles can be made from different materials and there are several different designs.  This is one example of a den doodle that can be made.
