Some Suggested ways to integrate the Arrow of Light Board into your program.

1) Issue an arrow to the Tiger upon joining.
Akela can enter the meeting with the arrows in his quiver (holder for reserve arrows) . He can give the Arrows to each individual Tiger during a ceremony charging the Tiger to follow Akela to the Arrow of Light.
The Den Leader would keep the arrow. Every few months the Den Leader works with the cub scout to paint strips on the arrow signifying arrow points or rank advancements earned. At the end of the cub program the Arrow is mounted on the plaque and presented to the scout at a ceremony upon achieving the “Arrow of Light “ rank award. Possible ceremonies where the “Arrow of Light “ could be presented could include “Blue and Gold”, Bridging over to Scouts , etc. The plaque can be displayed in the boys room as a remembrance to his accomplishment.

2) At the end of the Webolos2 program, the Den Leader paints stripes on the arrow representing the rank advancement achievements the scout has obtained while in the cub scout program. The arrow is then mounted on the plaque and presented to the scout at a special ceremony. Younger cub scouts are impressed by the arrow on the plaque. The Arrow of Light Board can be used as a motivational tool to excite cubs to work harder on advancement.

Game Ice Breaker from Jeanne of  Cradle of Liberty, Lafayette district.

Here is a game great for October. Grab Bag. you need one large bag of dress up clothing. have the group sit in a circle, you can either play music or recite the cub scout promise. Pass the bag around the circle and on what ever signal you decide on for stopping who ever has the bag at that time must take one piece of clothing out of the bag and put in on. everyone in the group at the end of the game ends up with a funny outfit on. great for den meetings or as a icebreaker at the first pack meeting. You can then move on to impromptu skits or just laugh at each other.

GAME - The Maze

Blindfold members of your den and have them follow a length of rope with their hands as it loops over obstacles and around bends. You could tie the rope between trees or chairs. At various locations attach easily recognizable objects.

Have the team members feel their way along the rope in silence and attempt to identify the objects and remember them.

Afterwards have the write down the objects they remembered as individuals or as a team.

GAME - YeeHa
This is a counting and listening game. Form all the participants in a circle. One person starts by stating we are going to play YeeHa "5" (it could be any number). That person then starts the counting "one". The next person says "two", etc. until you get to five. That person would say "Yeeha". Then next persons turn in the circle would say "six" and so on. Every fifth count (5,10,15,etc.) would say "Yeeha". As time progresses people will mess up and they are then out.
