Cub Meeting / FIG Correllation

1 Doc = Cub Meeting Plans + Faith In God

Thanks to Julie Shaffer and the Eagle Mountain North Stake for a unique and useful new LDS tool.  They have taken the BSA "Den and Pack Meeting Resource Guide's" meeting plans and incorporated Faith in God ideas. (click on the highlighted words)

Resourcefulness Ideas

THIS is a list of ideas for activities and games that teach and allow the boys to experience Resourcefulness. (Especially: Recycling, Natural Resources, Power, Imagination, Finding What's Already Available, Survival Skills, Balance of Nature)  It's a great list of ideas especially for Pack Meeting, but some of the ideas (like the field trips at the end of page 2) can be done in the Den or with their family.

Established in 1858, Camp Floyd housed the largest concentration of U.S. troops then in the United State.  The troops were sent to Utah to suppress a rumored Mormon rebellion, which never took place.  The army was recalled back east in 1861 for the Civil War emergency. 

Camp Floyd State Park is located in the town of Fairfield, 22 miles southwest of Lehi on State Highway 73.
