DEN MEETING NO. 1
Pre-Opening. Den Chief introduces new Cub
Scout shuffleboard game. (Each week Den
Mother will check Achievements and Electives and
collect dues.)
Business Items. Have the boys answer roll call by
naming their favorite radio program. Introduce the
theme "Radio Stuff" by asking some questions and
see how much they know about what is involved.
Decide how they can turn their meeting place into
a radio studio. Discuss what materials each boy can
bring. Select the radio program they will dramatize
or at least decide what they will do for their radio
stunt at the Pack meeting. Suggest the special Den
meeting for the fourth meeting.

Discuss the sound effects for the Den stunt. Have
some extemporaneous practice. Boys copy the pat-
tern of the dummy to be made at home.

effects and the other boys guess what it is.
Activities. Play one of the games on page 13.
Work on the studio and engineer's booth. Make
