During the meeting:

  2. Explain the rules: 
    • Cub Scouts are to take turns running to and from the table, picking up one item for their camping trip at a time.  
    • When a Cub Scout has reached the table, they will choose one item to place into their team’s backpack and quickly explain why that item is important for the campout. If they get it correct the Cub Scout will run back to the group, and before the next person can run to get another item. The sleeping bag and tent may be placed next to the backpack.  
  3. The team that packs all the items and correctly explains why it is important wins.
