Cub Scout Meeting Ideas

• Cubmasters – make a helmet and use a Zoom background with a castle.  This is huge.  Try to get your den leaders to do the same.  Maybe have one be a jester. 
• Dress up as Knights? – How to Joust Like a Medieval Knight
• Story of King Arthur
  
  • Consider a cartoon PowerPoint presentation about the history and lore of Arthur
  • This will help get you started – Is there any truth to the King Arthur legends? – Alan Lupack
  • Use this to segway into Chivalry and the Knight’s Code
• History of Chivalry
  
  • Talk about how this relates to the Scout Oath and Law
• Stories of warriors
• LARP?
• Historic Knights? – Meet an Anglo-Saxon Warrior
• Lord of the Rings?
• Camelot?
• Jedi knights?
• How to Demos
  
  • Foam swords form pool noodles or foam pipe wrap
  • Catapults from Popsicle sticks
  • Shields from Amazon boxes
  • Helmets from popcorn bucket and Amazon Boxes
• Holy Grail clips – You need to screen these first
• Medievalist/SCA special guest
• Tour a Medieval Castle
• Marshmallow Knight Tournament 
  • Draw knight faces on marshmallows
  • Arm knights with a toothpick sword/lance/club at 45 degrees or so upwards
  • place two knights facing each other on a paper plate (helps with cleanup) in microwave
  • Turn on microwave for 1 minute and watch knight “battle”
  • First knight to hit other knight with toothpick wins
  • Make this interactive by having scouts pick their knights.
  • Knights can be decorated with shields, helmet mods and candy
  • PEEPS can also be used instead of marshmallows
  • Make even better by installing camera so that it can film inside the microwave – contact us on how to do this
