December Den and Pack Activity

[SeattlePioneer 144]

For December my pack has dens make a Christmas "sleigh" from a cardboard box, with a rope tied to it so it can be drawn by reindeer (other Scouts in the den) The sleigh can be suitably decorated according to the inspiration of the boys.

 

At our December Christmas Party, we have relay races with each den racing around a race course then changing out the boy driver with another boy until all the Scouts have had a chance to ride.

 

That's a fun and easy competition.

 

I like this kind of low stakes competition. Boys love competition, but young boys in particular are easily discouraged by losing. I like competitions where you can run the game over repeatedly so a loss or losses don't "smart," ---much.
