When: Friday, December 4, 7PM Theme: Reverent - A Scout is reverent toward God. He is faithful in his religious duties. He respects the beliefs of others. Details:
- Uniform Inspection
- The cub scout uniform is one of the methods used to achieve
scouting's aims. The Boy Scouts of America says, "The Cub Scout uniform
helps build pride, loyalty, and self-respect. Wearing the uniform to
all den and pack meetings and activities also encourages a neat
appearance, a sense of belonging, and good behavior." To encourage boys
to wear the uniform properly, we'll have a quick, informal review of
boys' uniforms den by den during the other activities. Boys that wear
their uniform will get a small prize and we'll let families know if
there is any issues with their boys uniform (things fall off, can be
easy to put in the wrong place, etc.). The Pack Welcome Guide has information about the uniform if you have any questions.
- Patch Display
- Scouts can bring their patch collections and show them to each other
during the other activities. Families use a variety of ways of keeping
track of the special event patches (e.g. Space Derby, Bike Rodeo, Camp
Nicol patches, etc.). A common way is to sew them on a patch vest like
the one available from the Scout Store: Youth Patch Vest.
Scouts can wear their patch vest to any meeting, but they are
encouraged to do so for this meeting if they have one. Have fun finding
the coolest patch that other scouts bring.
- Award Recognitions - We'll recognize several scouts for earning awards.
- Activities
- We'll have several fun stations during the activity portion of the
meeting. We'll need some parents to jump in with the leaders to help
run the stations.
- Craft - Scouts can construct a simple ornament.
- Reverent Theme Discussion
- Sometime during the year, scouts complete their Duty to God
adventures with their families as part of their rank advancement
requirements. Our pack has families with a variety of faith practices.
We'll discuss the importance of respecting the beliefs of others so
that our pack is a place where people with a variety of beliefs can
participate and feel welcome.
- Holiday Display - We'd like
to have a display of items from families from the pack to give scouts
an appreciation for the different faiths and related holidays that other
scouts celebrate. If you have something you don't mind displaying for
70 generally exuberant boys, please let me know. It would be great to
have a label or something with a short explanation of the significance
of the item you bring to display.
- Pinewood Derby Kit Distribution
- In case anyone wants to use the Christmas break to work on their
Pinewood Derby car, we'll have kits available. We'll also have them at
the January 8 meeting, and the derby is in February.
- Pack Photo - Oaken Beeson will be taking a picture of the entire pack at the conclusion of our meeting.
