Tips
Tips
Invite Tyzalie to talk about one moment he enjoyed at Beaver Scouts, then draw a picture or dictate a short caption about it. Try a simple family team challenge, such as building a small shelter for a toy from cushions or natural materials, and discuss how everyone contributed. Read a story about community helpers or outdoor exploration and connect its ideas to group activities. If he is interested, make a picture schedule together for a future group outing, letting him choose what to bring and practise getting ready.
