COMMISSIONER’S CORNER

It is sports time – time to show that Cubs can play sports, too. Time to have fun in the sun!! Time to look at Olympic athletes doing their best and showing your Cubs what can happen when they do their best, too!!!

“Play the game – don’t look on.” –

Lord Robert Baden-Powell

Get involved, Life is not a spectator sport. Don’t let your Cubs sit down and rest, keep them going!! They want to go!! (Except for one Cub who told me that he would not go to my Webelos Resident Camp because there is no air conditioning. He only camps in a trailer where he can play video games)

Oh Well. Be sure your Cubs know they can do sports and do Cubs, too. And this summer they can still earn special pins and loops for playing sports!! (At least until your Scout shops runs out of the ones you need!!)

And the new Cub Scout Adventure program has lots of games and outdoor activities!! Use them!!

Have you seen the new books and other materials??

If not, WHY NOT??

DEN MEETING TOPICS

When a Den Meeting occurs depends on when you start your year and how often you meet. A Den that starts in August will be doing meetings 1 & 2 then, and 3& 4 in September. A den that meets three times a month will do 1, 2, and 3 in September. The pace is up to you!!

PACK MEETING THEMES
AND PLANS

www.scouting.org

Here are the remaining themes to be featured for
2014-2015 in the CS RT PG -

Month Core Value Supplemental Theme

New ADVENTURE PROGRAM Begins!!!

July Brave** Under the Sea
August Trustworthy** Play Ball

** - Scout Law based Core Values are Judy and Dave's best guess based on theme and what current Core Value was assigned. The three summer months are transition. Pick Adventures from the list and let us know how you did!!!

From national's Website for the new plans using the Core Values based on the Scout Law:

Here are a few thoughts to consider around these new pack meeting plans. First, there is a plan for each month that corresponds with a point of the Scout Law. In addition, each plan has a theme to help make the pack meeting even more fun! The plans do not have to be used in a specific order, but some do have reminders to include activities from the required adventures to help the Scouts earn their rank.

As a personal note: I have read some of the plans and they are excellent and just as complete as the new Den Leader Books. The games, and other stuff are right there. Including costuming ideas for that added PIZAZZ!! If you do not use themes and add PIZAZZ you are not doing your best for your pack.
GOOD JOB!!! From CD

Kim, the chair of the task force, says "I do want to stress that the focus is still the Core Value and the theme is just there as an enhancement. The theme pack meeting plans are specifically crafted to bring out the important points of the Core Value in a fun way."
