  • Plastic craft eggs, three for each Cub Scout
  • Permanent marker
  • About $10 in assorted coins
  • 2 baskets
  • 2 paper plates
  • 6ft long folding table

Before the meeting:

  1. Using the marker, write different amounts on each of the plastic eggs. For example, 84¢, 21¢, 38¢.
  2. After the amounts are written on the eggs, add the amounts up to ensure that you have the correct amount in coins.
  3. Set up an area free of obstacles to conduct a relay race.
  4. Make the relay course 30 feet long.
  5. Divide the eggs evenly into two baskets. Set up the table at the end of the opposite end of the starting line. Place the two baskets on opposite ends of the table.
  6. Divide the change into two equal portions onto the two paper plates. Place a plate next to each basket.

During the meeting:

  1. Gather the Cub Scouts and divide the den into two teams.
  2. Explain the rules of the relay.
    • The first person on the team will run to the table to their team’s basket. Pull out an egg and read the amount on the egg.
    • The person then places the correct amount of change to equal the amount that is on the egg, opens the egg and places the change into the egg, and then runs back.
    • The team will get 1 point for each egg that has the correct change in it.
    • The team that collects all the eggs first gets 1 point.
  3. The point system is set up so accuracy counts more than speed so the team that makes sure the amount in each egg is correct will more than likely win the race.
  4. Run the relay race, look for opportunities to celebrate those who demonstrate the Scout Oath and Law as they play.
