Basementdweller 608 Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Well national has sold out of my original idea of Cub Scout vests.......any other ideas., Link to post Share on other sites
dg98adams 18 Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Those "vests" are just felt. Several yards of discount red felt from the fabric shop and you'd be back in business. You can use brown paper to have the Cubs make their own pattern or grab one and make a one-size-fits-all pattern. You can lay it out and make it so there is only 2 short seams on top of the shoulders to sew up. Link to post Share on other sites
Eagle92 110 Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 My den actually made their own vests over 2 den meetings for the American Indian Wolf Elective. rReal easy to make. Link to post Share on other sites

dg98adams 18 Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Oh, this is for the Den Leader... Blue Felt blanket (for all the extra patches). Link to post Share on other sites
denleader09 10 Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Last year, I gave the boys these little whistles with compasses, thermometer, etc from Walmart in the camping section. They were less than $2 a piece. This year, I am giving them homemade cookies and little plastic collapsable cups. If my buget were bigger, then I would have loved to have given them something else camping/hiking related that is more useful. Like a hydration pack or some hiking staffs. Or headlamps. But I liked those plastic collapsable cups when I was a kid, so that's what I went with Link to post Share on other sites

Basementdweller 608 Posted December 7, 2010 Author Share Posted December 7, 2010 I have read the last child in the woods, I think it would be lost on them. I have shared my copy with some of them. Patch blanket is a nice idea......... Link to post Share on other sites
