UPCOMING MONTHS For June, the suggested Pack Meeting theme, ROAMING REPTILE ALERT, emphasizes the Tenth point of the Scout Law point, BRAVE. Previous months whose themes may have great material: For April, the suggested Pack Meeting theme, POWER UP, emphasizes the Scout Law point, THRIFTY. The core value highlighted next month is: July's point of the Scout Law, TRUSTWORTHY, will use the theme, LET THE GAMES BEGIN. A SCOUT IS TRUSTWORTHY A Scout tells the truth. He is honest, and he keeps his promises. People can depend on him. HOW DOES “LET THE GAMES BEGIN” RELATE TO THE FIRST POINT OF THE SCOUT LAW, TRUSTWORTHY?? A Scout tells the truth. As the athletes of the world strive to do their personal best in international competition, Cub Scouts have the opportunity to “Let the Games Begin” by doing their best in feats of skill and sport. Remember that not only is it important to do your best when you play a sport, but it is also important to be trustworthy when following the rules of the game. Winning at all costs is not part of a Scout’s code of conduct. For the July theme, LET THE GAMES BEGIN, I believe the intent is for athletic games. CS Olympics was always a popular theme when I was a Cub and when my son was a Cub in the late 80’s. Sometime after that the IOC got protective of its branding nd now we can no longer use the word Olympics. So the theme became “Let the Games Begin.” But I did provide some Game themed months for you to prep a Plan B.
