CUB
SCOUTS |
|
| I am working on getting these
pages more organized! Until them just check from the pages below! In LDS
pack's we start the cub scout program at Wolf's. So I don't include very
many
Tiger items, sorry. |
For LDS Packs, they need to do
do some of the items in the Faith In God
program to earn their Religious Knot
Baloo's
Bugle is one of the best places to help you in cub scouts, it has information
for each month and the monthly theme.

My Thoughts on the Cub Program |
|
I have spent many hours in Cubs and Primary, so I have come up with many different thing, I was hoping that someone else could use and enjoy some of our idea's! Or at least give you some idea's!
We have a Cub Book that we give to each boy as they enter the cub program, it is in a 3 ring white binder, we use the kind that has the plastic sheet on the front that you can put a paper in it to make the front cover, when I give it to them the top one is for cubs, but behind it is the one for Boy Scouts, when they enter the Boy Scout program at 11 they can change the front, on the side it say's Scouts and at the bottom is their name.
This book is really good for people who no nothing about the Scout program, it gives the basic steps of the cub and scout programs, and some helps, also included is a copy of the record sheet for each den in the cub part, so the parents can see it and use it if they want!
In the back of the book I put an extra pocket and a plastic baseball card holders sheet, this is just the right size to hold the cards that the pins and badges come on, this is a great way to keep record and proof of receiving these awards.
This is the one book they need for all their years in Scouts, the can keep all the info they need, papers they get, and have it all in one place. I have included even a basic Eagle Project Packet.
If you have any questions or ideas of things to add to this, please E-mail
me! Thanks

Cub
Wallet Card |
|
Here is a card that you can hand out to each boy, it is the size of a business card, and will fit in there wallet. I laminates them to help them last longer. One side is the cub handshake, salute and
sign, and on the other side is the Cub Scout Motto and Promise. you can print them off on card stock and cut them out, I had to save them in two different files, but you just need to print out when side and then turn it over and print the other file!

Pocketknife Pledge 
I was looking through
my son’s bear book and saw this pledge and thought it would make a cute
wallet card. It could also go in their
books, or if they have a pocket knife pouch. THANKS Holly C. for
sharing this!

RED PATCH VEST
Still another
adornment that is popular with Cub Scout boys is what is known as the
“Patch” vest (also known as the “Brag” vest). This is a red vest that is
used to hold all of the patches the boy received during his time in Cub
Scouts (Note – this vest in NOT considered a part of the official Cub
uniform). These patches could be from any sort of special event (i.e.
Jamboree, etc.). These vests can be especially fun for the boys when they
go to special events where they can show off their patches to the other
boys. The decision to purchase a vest (or make the vest), and attach the
patches, is left up to the parents of the child. The vest pattern may be
available from another Den Leader or Advancement Chairman (ask around).
These are sold by the Scout shops such as ScoutStuff.org and they cost about
$12. The patches are sewed on in any way that you want, in any order or
placement that the Scout desires. The red vest may be worn at any time on
top of the regular uniform. I have not seen many Scouts wearing these vests
but I did buy them for my sons but so far the patches are not sewn on. My
boys have expressed that they don’t want to be the only ones wearing the red
vest and that is why so far they are not wearing them. The boys whom I have
seen wearing them were at Council sponsored camping events, they are not
people in our own Pack.
Blanket Idea
Someone told me that some Boy Scouts sew those patches onto a red blanket
which they use at campouts while sitting around the fire.
Red Jackets For Adults
Some adult leaders and volunteers put the patches on a red wool shirt sold
at Scout shops and they wear it like a coat, to Scout events in cold weather
(such as on camping trips).

There are several special events planned each year
for the Cub Scouts. These events are exciting for the boys and require
special preparation on the part of the Den and Pack Leaders, Committee
Members and parents. Some of these events are:
This fun filled event is normally held on a
Saturday morning in January. Cub Scouts work with their parents to
craft hand carved blocks of wood into racing cars (from a kit). These
cars are raced on a track against other cars within the Pack. Awards
are given on a Pack and Den basis. A committee is formed in advance of
this event to plan and prepare for this fun event.

The Blue and Gold Banquet is a celebration of the
anniversary of Cub Scouting and is named after the symbolic colors of
Cub Scouting. It is held in February and is the biggest pageant of the
Scouting year. A special committee is formed a few months in advance of
the event and plans the meeting. You will be asked to assist in
planning the event and participating in the banquet. This event is
always a highlight of the boys’ Cub Scout experience.

This is another extremely fun event for the boys.
The boys form a block of wood into a boat, decorate it, and race the
other members of the Pack. The race is performed by setting the boat in
water filled rain gutters where boys blow air through a straw into the
sail of the boat to get it to move.

The space derby is where the boys are given kits to
build a rubber band- powered rocket. The boy’s race the rockets by
hanging them from a wire and letting the wind-up propeller propel them
forward. The rockets are made of either Styrofoam or balsa wood. The
race is informal and just for fun – there is no timing or trophies.

The Cub Scout
Bike Rodeo is an exciting chance for Cub Scouts to learn about bicycling
safety and the thrill of bike riding, by navigating their way through a
series of “challenges.” They will also learn about bike safety,
maintenance and repair, and expressing themselves through the “Chalk
Talk.” MORE INFO CLICK HERE
In addition to
regular Pack meetings and activities, the Pack sponsors special projects
and events through out the year. These include church and community
service projects (Scouting for Food, Canyon picnic area cleanup), and
outdoor activities (rocket launch, summer picnic and swim outing, family
campout, Bicycle Rodeo, etc.).
