Pre-Opening. Hold a dress rehearsal for the minstrel show. During the pre-opening, Cub Scouts put on their minstrel show costumes. Blackface is not necessary for the rehearsal.
Opening. Rather than follow through with the formal Den meeting, use time to rehearse the Den’s acts for the minstrel show. Teach Cub Scouts some rounds. Mr. and Mrs. Starr recommend the Blue Book published by Hall & McCreary Co. Good rounds are: “Scotland’s Burning,” “Sweetly Sings the Donkey,” “Row Row Row Your Boat,” “Three Blind Mice” and “Are You Sleeping?”
Closing. Rehearse the Den song which was composed by the boys at the first Den Meeting.

◆ MAGIC KIT AND PUZZLE KIT
The Supply Service of the Boy Scouts of America has brought out two new kits which we think will be very popular with Cub Scouts. One of these kits is a new Cub Scout Magic Box. It’s filled with material to perform tricks suitable for boys of Cub Scout age.
The kit is packed in an attractive Cub Scout box. You can get the Magic Kit through your Boy Scout dealer. If he doesn’t have it in stock, your Boy Scout office will order it for you. (Catalog No. 1888, priced at $2.)
