Punctuality

The word "punctual" means that if the Cub needs to be at the Pack meeting say 5 o'clock then you expect them to be there at 5 o'clock, or even better to be there 10 minutes before 5 o'clock. The Cubs need to understand that it is not polite to be late and that being late is giving in to themselves, as with a little effort they can always be on time.

Know how the 24 hour clock works

Cubs should already have knowledge of basic time telling.

• Explain the 24 hour clock to avoid confusion between a.m. and p.m.
• Show that in a 24 hour format any indicated time greater than 12 can be translated to a 12 hour format by simply subtracting 12 from that time, e.g. 23H00 - 12 = 11:00 p.m.; 17H30 - 12 = 5:30 pm.
• Show that in 24 hour formats any indicated time less than 12 remains that number but will indicate a.m. and that the indicator should change from ":" to "H"
• Show that in 12 hour formats any indicated time greater than 12:00 p.m. can be translated into a 24 hour format by simply adding 12 to that time, e.g. 1:00 p.m. + 12 = 13H00; 9:30 p.m. + 12 = 21H30.
• Show that minutes can be indicated as "minutes to" or "minutes past" the hour and that Digital clocks will always indicate "minutes past", e.g. 7:45 shows 45 minutes past 7.
• Show how "minutes past" can be translated into "minutes to".
• Show that we cannot write a time as minutes to, only minutes past, both in 12 and 24 hour format.
