2008-04-17T22:42:00.000-07:00

MAY 2008 - LEAF IT TO CUBS
Cub Scouts will learn about the wonders of nature's gift to us, a tree! Learn to identify poison oak, poison ivy and various trees by their shape and leaf design. Try leaf rubbing, leaf prints, making a leaf collage, preserving leaves with wax paper or making a leaf collection from fallen leaves. Make a leaf boat and race it at a den or pack meeting. Participate in a tree planting or your local Arbor Day activities. Either adopt a tree or plant one and watch it grow. Research how trees are used to help us in our daily lives. Field trips can be to a lumberyard, nature center, forest preserve or local park. Earn the Collecting belt loop and pin.

April 2008 monthly theme is "Abracadabra"

2008-03-13T14:07:00.000-07:00

Cub Scouts love to amaze and be amazed! Boys discover secrets of the magician’s
art this month as they demonstrate magical illusions and learn new tricks
with cards, coins, and other everyday objects. The Cub Scout Magic Book is a great
resource for age-appropriate tricks and puzzles. Visit a magic shop or have a magician
come to your den or pack meeting to teach the boys a few tricks of the trade.
Prepare to watch in wonder at the pack meeting as your Cub Scouts entertain their
audience with skits, stunts, and sparklers that they have practiced at den meetings.
The Cubmaster uses the magic of ceremonies to pull awards from a top hat at the
mystifying pack meeting

Monthly theme for March is "Litter to Glitter"

2008-02-27T16:19:00.000-08:00

MARCH 2008 - LITTER TO GLITTER
This month Cub Scouts will turn recycled items into treasure and learn about conservation at the same time. Using items that would normally go in the trash or recycling bin, build artistic masterpieces of your own design. It's amazing what some recycled bottles and paper can do when combined with glue and a little imagination. Have a gallery opening at your pack meeting with all your art displayed. Don't forget the Art belt loop and pin.

February 2008 monthly theme is "Chinese New Year"

2008-01-20T20:39:00.000-08:00

Happy Chinese New Year! Or more appropriately, Gung Hay Fat Choy! (The traditional Chinese New Year greeting). This month we welcome the year 4705. Let's celebrate and welcome the New Year with dragon dances, paper lanterns, fortune cookies and oranges for abundant joy. Decorate your blue and gold banquet with banners inscribed with Chinese characters for luck and lots of red, the symbol of a bright and sunny future. Why not earn the Language and Culture belt loop and pin as we learn about and enjoy the culture of China.

January 2008 monthly theme is: "Cub Scout Car Show"

2007-12-28T23:44:00.000-08:00

Cars have fascinated every generation ever since the first self-propelled vehicle
was invented in the late 17th century. Boys can celebrate the excitement of cars
in the annual pinewood derby race. Then they can discover the different kinds of cars
and trucks—such as limousines, taxis, vans, pickups, SUVs, and racecars. Learn
how these vehicles are built, repaired, modified, and sold. Visit a car dealership,
auto mechanic, or auto parts dealer. Boys can build car or truck models or create a
model of a showroom or a garage with miniature die-cast cars.
