June's Core Value, Thrifty, will use "Go for the Gold "
The intent of this theme was to demonstrate the PERSEVERANCE of the miners (49er's) and others in the Old West. Sports gold (e.g. Olympics) was NOT the intent. But playing sports also demonstrated PERSEVERANCE.
Based on the theme intent and the write up in the Cub Scout Roundtable Planning Guide – I substituted THRIFTY for PERSEVERANCE. I do know from experience that it take PERSEVERANCE to be THRIFTY!!! CD

I included Conservation in Thrifty for several reasons.
First, conserving our resources for our Children's Children's Children's Chidren's (Apologies to the Moody Blues) is definitely being Thrifty
Second, this is a summer theme and boys want to be outside. So teach them Thrift through conserving resources and having fun in the outdoors. Sounds like this hits all 5 points of the new Adventures – Participatory Citizenship, Personal Fitness, Character Development, Outdoors, and Life Skills

July's Core Value, Brave, will use Under the Sea
A Scout is Brave
A Scout can face danger although he is afraid. He has the courage to stand for what he thinks is right even if others laugh at him or threaten him.
Why "Under the Sea" for Brave?
The oceans are the last unexplored frontiers on Earth. It takes courage to venture into undiscovered territory. This month let us take our Cub Scouts under the oceans to explore and do what is right in caring for our last earthly frontier.
Based on the theme intent and the write up in the Cub Scout Roundtable Planning Guide – I substituted BRAVE for COURAGE. CD
Month's that have themes that might help you with BRAVE and "Under the Sea " are:
Connecting
HEALTH & FITNESS
with Outdoor Activities
(Adapted from B.A.L.O.O. Appendix E)
This section of the B.A.L.O.O. syllabus has been completely rewritten and the detailed suggestions for ways to line up the Core Values (now the 12 points of the Scout Law) to activities is gone.. There is general information about Purposes of Cub Scouting. Check it out!!
