Pre-Opening. Pick a simple radio theme song such as the “Duz” song and let each boy write his own words for the music. Here is what one Cub Scout in Mr. Starr’s Pack composed:
CUB CUB
Cubs can do most anything
Cubs can stand the test you see.
When you ask them why this is,
They say we’ll try anything.
Opening. All teach their songs to the Den.
Business Items. Den Mother and Den Chief check up on costumes, properties, etc., for Pack minstrel show.
Activities. Musical Guessing Game. One Cub Scout sings a song silently in front of the Den while others try to read his lips. As each Cub Scout guesses the song, he joins the first boy and sings the song silently with him. When everyone has guessed the song, the Den sings it aloud. Play another game of your own choice unrelated to the musical theme. Rehearse the Den’s part for the minstrel show. It should be really polished this time. Also rehearse the choruses which are to be sung by the entire cast.
Closing. Sing a quiet song such as “Now the Day Is Over.”
