Scouts have a lot of responsibility during meetings, but we also have a lot of fun, too!
All meetings start out with the entire pack participating in a flag ceremony, where 3 scouts lead the saluting of the American Flag, and the saying of the Cub Scout Promise, Law of the Pack, and Cub Scout Motto. The flag is then folded, and the scouts separate into their dens (Wolf, Bear, Webelos).
In the den meetings, scouts review what they have learned so far, and talk about their assignments. The den leader will sign any new assignments they have and mark their progress towards their badge on a chart. This is called Advancement.
At the end of the meeting, all of the dens get back together for games, crafts, songs, and cheers. If the scout earned 4 merit points during the meeting, he'll receive a lollipop on his way out the door.
Did your scout earn a lollipop this week? If not, ask him why... |
