Welcome new "Cub Knights" into the roundtable of the den and pack.  Scouts learn about chivalry, the rules of the roundtable, and period art, making their own costumes and coat of arms.  Discover life as it was in the days of knights and castles.  Scouts may be "knighted" as they advance from one rank to the next.
 
DECEMBER 2006 - Cub Scout Stars
Learn of the constellations and the stars which light up our skies. Go star gazing or visit a planetarium in your area.

Try a special Hawaiian treat such as “shave ice” for your meeting snack. Make a lei from flowers to present to a family member.

APRIL 2007 - Cub Cafe
Cub Scouts can experience the varied tasks associated with running a café. From planning a budget and menu, to food selection and preparation, to consumption. Cub Scouts can do it all. Visit a supermarket and learn about where food comes from as well as the benefits of comparison-shopping. Learn about table etiquette for both the waiter and consumer. Make a pack meeting a “Food Fair” where each den runs their own “Cub Café” and everyone enjoys a taste.
 
MAY 2007 - Cubs and Bugs Galore

Learn to treat bug bites and stings. Visit a beekeeper and taste fresh honey. Talk to a farmer, county extension agent or school biologist about the harmful and helpful things that insects do.
 
JUNE 2007 - Wheel Into Summer
Our bicycles, skateboards, roller blades, and scooters are fun provided we use them correctly. Learn about how bikes are used in other countries and in various types of competitions. How about having a pack “Wheel Fun Party” where you can demonstrate your skills and learn safety rules while having lots of fun? Remember to wear the correct protective gear such as helmets and pads. Conduct a pack Cubmobile race. Adult family members can be judges and help with a cookout or picnic. Don’t forget to look into electives that could be completed during the meeting as well as earning the Bicycling and Skating belt loops and pins.
