FOCUS
Cub Scout
Roundtable Leaders’ Guide
Everyone loves to play games!! This month Cub Scouts and
their families will have fun playing board games, and solving puzzles and
mazes. This is a great opportunity for adults to teach boys the games they used
to play as youths. How about making new games? Boys can share their games with
others or challenge others with their word searches, jigsaw puzzles, or mazes.
Have a family game night at your Pack Meeting or at a den meeting. This month
would be a good time to work on the Chess Belt Loop and pin.
CORE VALUES
Cub Scout
Roundtable Leaders’ Guide
Some of the purposes of Cub Scouting developed through
this month’s theme are:
ü
Fun and Adventure - Cub Scouts will have fun playing their
favorite games and learning new ones.
ü
Personal Achievement - Boys will feel a sense of personal
achievement as they master puzzles, mazes, and new games.
ü
Sportsmanship and Fitness - Cub Scouts will learn fair play
and respect for others
The core
value highlighted this month is:
ü
Honesty, Cub Scouts will learn the importance of following
the rules and being honest while playing games.
Can you think of others??? Hint – look in your
Cub Scout Program Helps. It lists different ones!! All the items on both
lists are applicable!! You could probably list all twelve if you thought about
it!!
COMMISSIONER’S CORNER
Many thanks to my friends at
Sam Houston, Great Salt Lake and Catalina Councils for sending me their new Pow
Wow CD's and for Catalina and GSLC - actual paper books!!
And to Wendy at Chief Seattle
Council giving me the link to their on-line Pow Wow Book. (Find it in the
website list)
I will be setting up my swap CD soon.
POW WOW CD’s
There were a lot of Pow Wows on my list
for early. I hope some of you can trade CDs this month so I can have some
good info for the next Baloo. Just write me, either
commissionerdave@comcast.net , or via the
www.usscouts.org website or and I will get you mailing info. One year I
received the Alapaha Area Council Book via E-mail. That works, too. Thanks
to good friends I have the SHAC, Great Salt Lake and Catalina Council books
and will soon have National Cap.
I can never have too many. Thanks
for your help.
