Build with Recyclables

Materials:

Scissors

Crayons/Markers

Recyclable materials that Cub Scouts brought from home

Instructions:

With Cub Scouts working in small groups, have them work together to build

something out of the recyclable items that they have brought from home. Have

them show off their artwork to the entire pack when they have completed them.

This activity will likely need to be given a time limit.

Conserve Water Closing

Materials:

None

Cubmaster or den leader:

As we leave today, let's take a moment to

remember what a precious resource water is,

especially in the summer. We play in water,

we bathe in water, and we drink water. We

eat the fish that live in water. We use water for our plants and our grass. Without

water, our earth would be as lifeless as the moon.

Let's all do our best this week to help conserve this great natural resource –

water!

Make recycling your routine

We should all recycle

To give the earth a chance.

We want to save this great expanse.

Plastics lids, milk jugs, too,

Recycle bin’s the place for you.

No soda cans in the trash,

You can turn them in for cash.
