Pack Meeting Ideas for Compassion

Cub Scouts can learn to be kind and compassionate. The program helps give this explanation of compassion:

Being kind and considerate, and showing concern for the well-being of others.

Compassion involves thinking about others. What is it like to walk in another person’s shoes? What does it feel like to be left out?  How can I give a hand to a friend who needs help? Here are a few ideas:

• Invite a person with a disability to come in and talk about the challenges they encounter in everyday life.
• Invite somebody who works with assistance dogs to come in and do a demonstration.
• Play some games which help demonstrate how people with special needs need to adapt. Here are a few:
  • I Can Do That With One Hand Tied Behind My Back Game
  • What’s In the Bag Game
  • Guide Me Game
• There are also some ideas for simulating disabilities in the program helps.
