After snack, all of the boys made feathered cat toys. I found the instructions for these easy to make toys with a quick Google earch. We used 12" dowels, tacky glue, feathers, and floral tape. The boys put some glue on the end of the dowel, stuck some feathers to it, wrapped the glued end with the tape and repeated the process 3 times. The results look like little colorful feather dusters! Pictures to come soon. I didn't take any while we were making them, but my own boys want to make more so I'll get some then! The scouts really got into the project and each made 5-6 toys.
After that, the boys made awareness ribbons out of duct tape. We made them strips of duct tape, and had them cut strips, fold and tape, put a paw print sticker on the front and a pin on the back. This didn't keep their attention for too long, but our parent volunteers made several.
As our wrap up activity, the boys made cards that will go into our care packages. They drew pictures on the front with a message along the lines of "congratulations, welcome home, and thank you for adopting."
We accomplished a lot, and the boys are very excited to go and volunteer in a few weeks. Each boy was sent home with a folder containing all of the information about our project for the parents to see and decide where they can help.
As a side note, if you're working on MOP, keep track of all the hours you put into your project. Parent's contributions count too!
Until Next Time,
CubMom
