PREPARATION AND MATERIALS NEEDED
• U.S. and den flags
• Paper bags labeled with the first initial of each Tiger in the den; small items for each bag that begin with the same letter
• Copies of the “Diversity Scavenger Hunt” list (one for each member of the den); pencils for each participant
• Precut strips of paper for the charades game and a bowl or container to put them in
• Flier for the Meeting 3 den outing
GATHERING:
Label each paper bag with the first letter of each Tiger’s name, and put objects in the bag that start with that letter. For example, a bag labeled “J” could contain a toy jet, a bag marked “M” might hold a mug, or a yo-yo could be found in a “Y” bag. Before each bag is opened, all the players try to guess what’s in it by feeling the outside of the bag first.
OPENING
• Conduct a flag ceremony of your choosing that includes the Pledge of Allegiance and the Scout Oath and Scout Law.
• Tiger Roll Call Opening: As the den meeting host calls roll, each Tiger responds with a loud tiger growl.
TALK TIME
• Carry out business items for the den.
• Have each Tiger tell the den about the chore they selected to do at home. (Do-at-Home Project from Meeting 1)
• Ask the group what happens when a den member is absent, or when people in their families get sick or hurt and cannot do their chores. How can a Tiger help out in those situations? Remember, a Scout is trustworthy and loyal. The den members can count on each Tiger being there to do their job, or the Tiger will let the den know if they can’t so someone else can pitch in.
• Change the den duty jobs for the week.
◆Activity 1: Diversity Scavenger Hunt (Requirement 5)
◆Activity 1: Diversity Scavenger Hunt (Requirement 5)
The goal of this activity is to observe others around us and acknowledge that, while we are similar, we are still different from each other. The items on the list can be changed as needed to fit your den. See Meeting 2 Resources for a sample. To conclude this activity, find out what each Tiger learned about the others. You can choose to chart the results or simply have a brief conversation.
◆Activity 2: Service Activity Planning (Requirement 4)
◆Activity 2: Service Activity Planning (Requirement 4)
1. As a den, select a service project if the den did not make a final choice in Meeting 1 following the brainstorming activity. Make plans for the project to help your chartered organization, community, or neighborhood. The activity could be as simple as weeding, planting flowers, picking up trash, or collecting food or coats for people in need.
2. Plan a date to complete the project if it cannot be finished during a den meeting or the den outing.
◆Activity 3: Charades (Optional)
◆Activity 3: Charades (Optional)
Each Tiger and adult partner will draw a piece of paper from the bowl or container and act out whatever is written on it. They can only use movements and gestures—no words—while the other den members try to guess it correctly. To make this game age-appropriate for Tigers, one category could be, “What do you do before going to school?” (brush teeth, comb hair, put on shoes, eat breakfast, etc.). Another fun option: “Which animal am I?” (a snake slithering on the ground, a bird flying or digging for worms, a dog burying a bone, etc.).
CLOSING
• Recite the Scout Law
• Have each Tiger decide on a point in the Scout Law they will try to focus on between this meeting and the next.
• Review details for the outing in Meeting 3. Make sure all Tigers and their families know the plans.
AFTER THE MEETING
• Serve refreshments, if desired.
• Make sure everything is cleaned up.
• Record completion of requirement 5.
• Remind Tigers and adult partners about the den outing. Cover all important information related to the outing.
