We did our BEST!

Tiger Den Meeting #2

Yesterday our first graders learned the Cub Scout motto: Do your best!

We put the motto into practice with three fun activities.  First scouts decorated a Family/Den scrapbook in which to store all the memories from their Tiger year!   This activity completed Achievement 1D and earned each scout their first bead.

As with any new creative or artistic endeavor, the artist must simply do their best.  Sometimes we do our best when in collaboration with others.  This proved to be the case when scouts created "Tiger Pumpkins" for the First Grade Teaching Team at Amana Academy. Using pie pumpkins, teachers will receive a dual gift: a pet tiger for their desk and a delicious pumpkin fit for baking.

 
Also since practice is a large part of improvement, our scouts competed in a series of Tic-Tac-Toe toss games. With each subsequent toss, scouts gained experience and confidence thus improving their skills.  The game wasn't about "win or lose" but about "doing your best."  Our best only got better with practice!

In closing scouts learned the Cub Scout Handshake and received their song sheet for November's performance of  "If you're a Tiger and you know it."   We look forward to practicing together at next month's meeting and then taking the stage at the November pack meeting.  Remember even with singing, we are all just striving to DO OUR BEST!
