MACHINES, HOW DO THEY WORK?
• Let your boys and families have fun learning how machines work.
• Bring an old adding machine, computer, television., radio, or VCR
to pack meeting.
• Let the Scouts take these apart to see what’s inside and how they
work. (Thrift stores have many of these items for just a few
dollars. If it ' s broken? Can your boys fix them?)
WINDSOCKS 
• Before the pack meeting get a small white paper lunch sack and cut the bottom
out.
• Cut comic strips from the newspaper into one-inch strips
about twelve inches long.
• Bring a stapler and crayons for the Scouts to decorate
their bags.
• Have each boy staple the strips around the bottom of
their bag and give them a string to tie to the top so they
can hang their ' windsock' outside.
