Crafts are an effective means of teaching the Cub Scout how to use his hand to make something and thus improve his manual dexterity, self-expression, imagination, creativity and self esteem.  As far as he's concerned, it's just FUN!

Your challenge is to find a craft suited to the monthly theme, holiday or special activity which is interesting to Cub Scout age boys, is within their abilities, and is fun for them to make.  Finding crafts is not a problem.  Cub Scout literature is full of them, Roundtables provide them and various magazine and books also include suitable ideas.  The task is finding the right one.
