Here's one we've used with success:

Genius Kits

Sometime during the month, each Cub Scout is given a "genius kit" which is
a sack of odds and ends. The results are up to the boys' imaginations.
They can build something useful, decorative, silly or solemn. No matter
how they turn out, the boys' creations will be full of fun!
12" x 18" piece of cloth 1 can
12" piece of <" dowel 1 wire coat hanger
1 board, 1"x6"x10" 6 pipe cleaners
8 nails, 1" long 2 spools
1 small tube of glue 4 corks
4' string 12 tacks
4 ice cream sticks 1 golf tee

Rules:
1. A parent may help you with your creation.
2. Use only materials from the list; you don't have to use all items.
3. You may cut the board, string, cloth, etc. as so desired.
4. You may use a saw, hammer, jackknife, sandpaper, drill or other tool.
5. Use your imagination, have fun and bring creation to pack meeting!
