Fun Scouting Activities | Scouting On Demand: February

• Defend the castle; slay some dragons.  Or, at least pretend to.  Have some extra cardboard boxes laying around?  Break out the seventh Cub Scout essential (duck tape) and make a Duck Tape Sword and Shield - https://30minutecrafts.com/2014/03/duck-tape-sword-shield.html   Want more?  Fancy it up with a second blade and a shield - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjnIhp_TBPc and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmTJUjSG_PY

• Take your WEBELOS/AOL Scout camping at the Chattahoochee Nature Center in March - register now - https://www.chattnaturecenter.org/education/scouts/scouts-bsa/  The Chattahoochee Nature Center has lots of other programs for Scouts that you can check out at the same link.

• Did you build the Pinewood Derby car of your dreams this year?  If not, and you’ve got a box of Lego pieces laying around - about $9 will get you some real deal Pinewood wheels that you can use with your Legos to make the impossible possible.  https://www.pinewoodpro.com/lego-derby-car-racing.php or https://www.amazon.com/Pinewood-Pro-PRO-Brick-Wheel/dp/B00V548X36  (Please note that Lego cars are probably not legal in most Scout Pinewood Derbies, but you could ask - and you may want to break out the Crazy glue.)

• Make hand washing fun again (maybe) with your own zany homemade soaps - https://www.pbs.org/parents/crafts-and-experiments/how-to-make-soap

• Celebrate love day by sharing some of it.  Looking for some safe pandemic service?  Pickup a pencil and write a short note of thanks and appreciation to the special people in your life.  Actually write it on real paper, and send it in the mail - you’ll really surprise people.  Who should you write to? It could be anyone you know who’s a firefighter, police officer, EMS, doctor, teacher, or caring adult in your life.  It’s like sending a Valentine, but for the awesome people in our lives.

• Scout Sunday, Sabbath, & Jumuah - A Scout is Reverent and Friendly, so why not be reverent with your Scout friends?  Find out more about Scouting’s calendar of religious observances here: https://www.atlantabsa.org/dutytogod and make a plan to attend as a unit, patrol, den, or family with others of your faith.  It’s what a Scout does in February.
