Wolf Elective adventure 2nd grade

Archery (Wolf) requirements (Wolf)

Archery (Wolf) is a Wolf elective adventure with 8 requirements. Below is what each one asks in plain language, and a sixty minute den meeting plan that works through them: a gathering activity, the opening, the activity blocks, and what to say in the closing.

Free for one den. DenBuddy reads your den from Scoutbook Plus, and writes back only when you press Send.

Note: Range and target activity adventures are special adventures. Requirements must be completed at approved district and council events (e.g. day camps, resident camps, council managed family camping programs). They may not be completed at the pack, den, or individual level. Therefore, full requirements are only published for Scouting certified Rangemasters or Shooting Sports Directors and are not available for view in Scoutbook Plus. A Scouting certified Rangemaster or Shooting Sports Director will provide the list of completed requirements from an approved event for entry at the unit level.

Ready to run

A 60 minute den meeting for Archery (Wolf)

Five kinds of block in the order that works: something to do on arrival, the opening, den business, the adventure work split into chunks a Cub Scout can hold attention through, and a closing that names what got finished.

0:00 · 10 min

Gathering: pack the bag

Give the Scouts who arrive first something to do, so the meeting starts the moment they walk in.

  • Spread the Cub Scout Six Essentials and four things that do not belong on a table by the door.
  • The card on the table says: pick the six you would carry, and be ready to say why.
  • As Scouts arrive they join in, so the ones who came early are never left sitting.

0:10 · 5 min

Opening

Flag ceremony, Scout Oath and Scout Law. The same five minutes every week, run by the Scouts.

  • The denner calls the den to order and leads the flag ceremony.
  • Say the Scout Oath and the Scout Law together. New Scouts read from a card and nobody makes anything of it.
  • One sentence on tonight's adventure, Archery (Wolf), and the one thing everybody will get done.

0:15 · 5 min

Talk time

Den business while everyone is still sitting down, and a look at what is coming.

  • The two dates parents need: the next den meeting and the next pack event.
  • Ask who already did part of Archery (Wolf) at home, and write the names down so it gets recorded.
  • Take one question from the den. Answer it or say when you will.

0:20 · 35 min

Activity 1: Get ready for the range event

Archery (Wolf) is a range and target adventure. Every requirement is signed off at a council or district event by certified range staff, so tonight is the preparation for it.

  • This is a range and target activity: requirement 1 gets signed off at an approved council or district event with certified range staff, not at your den meeting.
  • Use the den meeting to get ready. Read "Requirement 1: Review with Scouting certified Archery Director or Archery Rangemaster" out loud and walk through the range rules and the commands the Scouts will hear.
  • Put the next council shooting sports date on the den calendar tonight and send it to parents with the registration link.

Requirement 1 Requirement 2 Requirement 3 Requirement 4 Requirement 5 Requirement 6 Requirement 7 Requirement 8

Closing

End on time, and make sure every Scout leaves knowing what they finished.

  • Cubmaster's minute: one short thought tied to what the den just did. Sixty seconds, no lecture.
  • Read back what got finished tonight, requirement by requirement, so the Scouts hear their own progress.
  • Send the den off with the den yell, and catch the parents who need to hear something at pickup.

What to bring

  • Tonight's requirement list, printed, with a box to tick per Scout
  • A clipboard and pen for sign-offs as they happen
  • Paper, markers and a few pencils
  • The Cub Scout Six Essentials for every Scout, and a full water bottle
  • A ball, four cones and a whistle
  • One laptop or tablet, and a printed copy of the pack's device rules

Worked out from the requirement text. Swap anything you already have in the den box.

Plan this meeting for your own den

This plan does not know your Scouts. DenBuddy does: import your den from Scoutbook Plus and the planner starts from the requirements each Scout is actually missing, keeps the block times, and turns the agenda into the record sheet afterwards.

How the planner works

Youth protection is built in: Scouts have no accounts, check-in is done by a parent from a public link, and nothing DenBuddy does writes back to Scoutbook.

Questions about Archery (Wolf)

How many requirements does Archery (Wolf) have?

8. Each one is a single thing the Scout does. Check the current wording in the handbook or Scoutbook Plus before you sign anything off.

Is Archery (Wolf) required for Wolf?

No. Archery (Wolf) is a Wolf elective. A Scout needs the six required Wolf adventures plus at least two electives, and this one can be part of those two.

How long does Archery (Wolf) take?

The plan on this page runs 60 minutes and covers 8 of the 8 requirements. Most dens spend two meetings on an adventure, because somebody is always absent for the first one.

Can a Scout finish part of Archery (Wolf) at home?

Any of it can be. Nothing in Archery (Wolf) is marked as family-only work, so a Scout who misses the meeting can finish with a parent and you record it when the family tells you.
