How-To Hold the Friendship Portion of the Meeting PDF Print E-mail

The Friendship portion of the meeting is intended to help our Scouts to get to know each other better and help them develop the skill of fostering friendship.  

The Friendship Portion of meeting consists of games to help our Scouts get to know each other.  The Scouts choose the games they want to play. boy playing hide and seek The games are specifically designed to encourage interaction between our Scouts, allowing even the shyest Scouts to interact comfortably. 

 

 A couple of examples are below:

 

Find a Scout – The  name of an animal is written on a piece of paper and taped to the back of each Scout.  Every animal is taped on the back of two different Scouts.  Scouts walk up to each other and imitate the animal on the back of the Scout they are speaking with.  Scouts match themselves up with their partner who has the same animal, based on the imitation other Scouts do.

 

Scout Bingo – Scouts create a bingo game board out of construction paper with a grid of empty boxes on it.  In each box, Scouts write a series of ten facts, such as “has a little brother”, or “favorite color is blue.”  They then go around the room interviewing each other, trying to fill in as many spaces with a Scout’s name as possible.
