You've Been Served

Pay It Forward

At Roundtable Rachel Hawley gave an idea on a service project  "You've Been Served".  "I thought of the idea when someone BOO'd us [for Halloween]."  It the same thing, but in services. 

Her scouts have done it twice and love it!  Here are the links to the poem and instructions and the picture for the door.

You can pass off One Faith In God, and in Bears you can pass off 9f 9A and 9D.  She broke them into groups - just two - and made two batches of cookies.

Activities for Teaching Faith

Hot Potato, Candle Dipping, Shepherd Game, Star Gazing ....   How do these teach Faith?

Here are some activities focusing on Faith, how to connect any activity with any core value, and a few ideas on how to encourage and implement the LDS Faith In God into the Cub Scouting program.

Themes that go well with Faith: Scripture Heroes, Patriots, Pilgrims, Pioneers, Stars, Campfire

Leave No Trace Activities

The Leave No Trace Award is a temporary patch worn on the right pocket of the uniform shirt.
The Tiger, Wolf, Bear, Webelos, and even the Cub Leader can earn the Leave No Trace Award, each with its own set of requirements. FIND OUT MORE  about the requirement of each group.

HERE is a list of quick activities you can do in your Den (or Pack) to teach how to Leave No Trace.

Cub Scout Leave No Trace Pledge

I promise to practice the Leave No Trace front country guidelines wherever I go:

1. Plan ahead.
2. Stick to trails.
3. Manage your pet.
4. Leave what you find.
5. Respect other visitors.
6. Trash your trash.

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.
