Cub-A-Day Week 8 (July 27-Aug 1)

July 27, 2020 by The Scouter Digest Staff

Week 8



MONDAY

Make Something Monday 
Tyger Tyger, burning bright,
In the forests of the night;
What immortal hand or eye,
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?
“The Tyger” by William Blake

Symmetry is a quality of objects or images being made up of exactly similar parts facing each other or around an axis.

Rangoli is an art form, originating from the Indian subcontinent, in which patterns are created on the floor or the ground using materials such as colored rice, dry flour, colored sand, or flower petals.

Research photos of different Rangoli.  Find all the symmetries you can.  What happens if you look at it in a mirror?  Once you’ve seen a few designs – Use chalk, sand, or flour to make your own.

This activity completed Requirement 3b from the Fearful Symmetry NOVA Award if you talk to a NOVA counselor.

TUESDAY

It’s Taste Something Tuesday!
 Foil Pack Dinners are another Scout staple – You can find recipes for any type of food online.

I like this one: https://www.food.com/recipe/boy-scout-foil-dinner-407428

WEDNESDAY

It’s Wander Around Wednesday!
Head outside at sunset and watch it with your family,  Once the stars come out – Try to identify 5 constellations and draw what you see.  An app like NightSky might help.

The sunset completes the third activity in the Explore My World Category of the Cub Family Summertime Passport: https://public.3.basecamp.com/p/AqAQD4gKhjdXw4m2AkDEbCWn

The 5 constellations fulfill Requirement 3a for the Out of this World NOVA, if you talk with a NOVA counselor about it.

THURSDAY

It’s Do Something Thoughtful Thursday!
Leave No Trace is a lifestyle that seeks to preserve our natural world for future generations.  Review the seven LNT Principles for Kids with your family.

You can use this video to learn the hand signs that go with each principle – It helps us remember the rules!  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pp4aqwE0pQ

FRIDAY

It’s Family Fun Friday!
Puzzles present a challenge that the whole family can chip in to solve.  Find a fun puzzle and work on it together!

SATURDAY

It’s Safety Saturday!
Families are sometimes separated by emergencies – Having recent photos and bio-metric information ready to provide to public safety personnel is a HUGE help.

Create a child ID packet for each of the kids in your house – You can use school or family photos and a template like this: https://www.ready.gov/sites/default/files/NCMEC_Child_ID_Kit_wc_FEMA_508.pdf

You may even have an ID card from your School Photos.
