PRE-OPENING ACTIVITY
What If. . .?
Greater St.
Louis Area Council
The following are story ideas you can use during a
quiet time in your den meeting. Let each scout pick one these ideas
(you can add a few of your own), give him a few minutes and let him
finish the story. Imaginations can be very powerful and lots of fun,
too.
- What if a plane landed in the school yard one
day?
- What if you saw a zebra grazing in front of
your house one morning?
- What if you found a turtle in your
bathtub?
- What if you were traveling in a wagon hundreds
of years ago?
- What if your pet could talk?
- What if someone gave you three wishes: what
would you wish for?
- What if you were principal for a day: what
would you do?
- What if you were invisible?
- What if aliens took you for a ride in their
spaceship?
- What if you could fly?
If I Could Be. . .

St. Louis Area Council
Imagine being a tennis shoe, a backpack, or a jet
ski: Using pictures from newspapers or magazines, have each scout
select one picture of an inanimate object and write or tell a story
from that object's point of view using as many of the following
questions as possible:
What are you and what do you do:
Where were you
purchased:
Who purchased you?
Where did your new owner take
you?
What adventure did you have with your new owner?
What is
the world like from your point of view?
I'D LIKE TO BE A CUB SCOUT
Greater St. Louis Area Council
I'd like to be Cub Scout
That's what
I'd really like.
Swimming boating, camping, hiking,
Riding on
my bike.
Making cars for Pinewood Derby
To enter in the
race.
And if I make one good enough
I just might win first
place.
I'd like to be a Cub Scout
There's
so much I can learn.
There's games to play and things to
make
And badges I can earn.
I can help by raising
money
Selling popcorn, pizzas too.
Not to mention candy
bars
And our annual barbecue.
There's
Scouting for Food in November
And Good Turn the last of
May
When we honor our brave servicemen
With flags on the
graves where they lay.
Come on and be a Cub Scout
A Cub
Scout just like me.
Come on and be a part of our
Cub Scout
Family.
You will learn the Cub Scout Promise
And a uniform you
will wear.
At first you'll be a Tiger
Then Bobcat, Wolf and
Bear
And last, you'll be a Webelos
Two years of that and
then
You will graduate to Boy Scouts
To a Troop that builds
young men.
