  • 9 popsicle sticks for each Cub Scout in the den
  • Small tip or thin markers, enough to share

Before the meeting:

  1. Set up space for Cub Scouts and adult partners to sit down to make a craft

During the meeting:

  1. Give each Cub Scout 9 popsicle sticks and a marker
  2. Have the adult partner write on each popsicle stick a part of the Scout Oath broken up in the following way:
    • On my honor
    • I will do my best
    • To do my duty
    • To God and my country
    • And to obey the Scout Law
    • To help other people at all times
    • To keep myself physically strong
    • Mentally awake
    • And morally straight
  3. Have Cub Scouts gather their sticks in one hand and raise their hand above a table about 1 foot and then let go of the sticks. The idea is for the sticks to fall on the table in a small group together.
  4. Each Cub Scout then tries to pick up a stick without disturbing the other sticks and then places the stick with the word side up next to the pile.
  5. The adult partner then tries to pick up a stick without disturbing the other sticks and then places the stick with the word side up and together the Cub Scout and adult partner decide if the stick should go before or after the first stick.
  6. Cub Scout and adult partner then share what that part of the Scout Oath means to them.
  7. Cub Scout and adult partner continue to take turns until all the sticks are picked up and they have placed them in the proper order to make out the Scout Oath.
