good they are. • The Sixer should chat to their six about going kayaking and if they would
like to go
• If they are up for it then fi nd out how each Cub Scout is getting on in the
Adventure Skill stages for paddling
•• Plan a trip to go kayaking with your six and go to a place where you can
get the support you need like a Water Activity Centre
DDo
•• It would be good for the Sixer to keep a record of how each member is
getting on in each Adventure Skill
•• Each Cub Scout has the potential of being at various stages in the
Adventure Skill
•• The Six can go canoeing by either inviting an individual instructor through
the Scout Group or someone known to them or they can go to a centre
that does the skill
RReview
•• Have a chat when presenting the Adventure Skills badges about how
they got on and how diffi cult they found it

Elder to see what they do
•• Have part of the day where the role is reversed and the Cub Scout
brings the Elder around with them
•• Compare an ordinary day between the Cub Scout and the Elder and
look at both the Similarities and the differences
RReview
•• Get the older people to talk to the Cub Scouts about how they got

event like a photo gallery of it
Review
• After the others have gone the Cub Scouts should do a clean up of the
area and have a chat about the day
• Harvesting is about getting the fruit out of the seed that was planted
• What fruit do the Cub Scouts get from planting the seeds of friendship
and sharing?

Do
• Medicine Man dances are all about letting the music control the
movements
• It could be fun to try out different types of music to see what kind
of dances the Cub Scouts come up with
• When they have picked their favourite dance they should do it at a
campfi re and invite other sixes to do something at the campfi re, be
it a dance, a song or a story
Review
• After the campfi re sit around the dying embers and have a chat
about how they got on
• Did they think it was silly or was it fun
• There could also be a discussion about what music they listen to
put them in a good mood

think they should do anything in the Six on camp
Do
• Some good ideas for meditation on a camp are to create a special
tent for just getting away for a few moments
• The tent is normally used on longer camps that need it more than
ever
• The tent should maybe have some pictures or slogans hanging up
to motivate and encourage
• It is most effective when the people that use the special tent put
something in it that helps them to relax and get motivation from
Review
• When the Six comes back from camp sit around with the things
that were in the Sacred Space and ask the Six what they thought of
them
• It would be good it they think about the next time and what things
they could add to the experience
Resources
A small tent (two to three man in size)
Posters and objects that motivate and inspire the SIx
Top tips
The Six could also look at doing a Scout’s Own based on giving
time to refl ect on things that they have seen on the camp that
amazed them...
