Pack Meeting on St Patricks Day - ideas?

[Cubmaster Mike]

Our unit will hold our March Pack meeting on St Pattys day this year. Some parents look at us like we're crazy, but if the meeting is over at 7:30, they can still run out and get their green beer. Or take their kids home and boil a corned beef, which is probably more likely. I should also mention that pack meetings started occurring for the first time in 6 years back in January, so they are still getting used to the idea (Pack reformed this spring after a monster recruitment took it from 18 boys in two lone dens to a full pack of 60)

 

So to those out there in the wisdom pool, I'm looking for some simple ideas to spice up a st patty day pack meeting. We meet at a catholic church, should be simple but enticing. Meetings run from 6:15 to 7:30.

Have a contest to see who can dress with the most green. As Cubmaster wear all green and paint yourself.

Corned beef, cabbage and a Guiness?

How about a hunt for the leprechaun's gold (candy coins, of course!). You could use compass directions if your boys are capable or more simple so many steps to the east, etc.... Might even be able to hide a small treasure for each den with directions that fit their ability levels.

 

Or hide paper shamrocks either inside or outside (still cold and snowy here in the northeast) and have the boys search. Den with the most shamrocks wins a prize.

 

Have someone tell a story of the leprechauns. Could even be a little spooky as leprechauns can be naughty little guys.

 

Green snacks are given. Dye the milk green and have green cookies or cupcakes with green icing.
