1D - Scrapbook - We used the folder with metal prongs in it, to
hold papers with 3 holes, we decorated the covers with crayons, markers,
& stickers. This was made to hold their Tiger Cub memories with their
families.
1G - Historic Living Trip - We had three meetings (not everyone
could attend, so we had a few - it wasn't a chore... all those great places!)1. Hawaii Plantation Villages - Learning about the history of a number of different immigrant groups. So many wonderful displays and houses.
2D - Pledge of Allegiance - We took care of this requirement
at a Pack Meeting - Remember, do not reinvent the wheel. Use the resources
available! ;)
2G - Fire Station - Boy, did we have a TON of luck! Not only did our
tour guide give us a FABULOUS tour, we had an ambulance stop by in between
calls. The boys had a chance to see the whole building, then the ladder truck
came out and a firefighter climbed almost 100 feet up... then the boys had
a chance to try out a small fire hose and control the water pressure. I think
they have a bunch of Junior Firefighter Volunteers!
3D - Food Pyramid - One of our GREAT den parents put together the Food Pyramid
activity. She had preprinted pyramids and a ton of newspaper/grocery
ads to cut up. A poster that showed the food pyramid in color and handouts
for the boys to take home!
3G - Sporting Event - Looking for a cost effective way to achieve this requirement,
we attended a baseball game for the University of Hawaii Baseball team. The
seats were very affordable, the boys had a GREAT time and we all had a wonderful
time. We'd like to go again!
4D - Tell it Like it Isn't - We played telephone. One cub tells a phrase
or a sentence to the next cub in line. At the end the cub that heard it last,
tells the den what the sentence was. It is supposed to become garbled. Problem
is, the fourth time we tried it, the boys got it RIGHT! :)
4G - Television - One of our Den Dad's knew a man that worked for KITV4.
We had a FANTASTIC tour, complete with time in the studio. With supervision
from a number of members on the staff, the boys tried out the bluescreen
effects and camera work. The teleprompter was great for reading practice!
They'll never look at the news in the same way.. or rather, they'll LOOK
at the news now, since "We were there!"**ALL THREE of the Section 5 requirements were done on the same day/same outing**
5F - Weather - This was a family activity, but our Den Mother that planned
this event had such a great idea we put it all together. She made up a sheet
for the boys to record the weather and it had a great theme. It read
like a nightly weather report!
5D - Leaf Rubbing - The boys had picked up leaves off of the ground *not
the plants* and we used a number of different colors of crayons to rub on
the leaves/paper. The boys discovered the different results from rubbing
the leaves in different directions.
5G - Hike *we had two*1.Our pack hike was Aiea Heights Loop Trail- While it was a beautiful hike the 5 miles with the tops and bottoms was a little too much for the Tigers. Also, the families that brought along children younger than Tiger age had a hard time as well. Fallen trees provided challenges for those with babies and it would be a good thing to check for adequate footwear. Questions?
