2006 – 2007 Cub Scout Roundtable
Monthly Themes
The Cub Scout Roundtable monthly theme is one month
in advance of the themes presented in the Cub Scout Program Helps. As
always, all adults, leaders and youth are welcome at the Cub Scout
Roundtable.
Too much fun is never enough!
September (October) – Cub Scout Shipbuilders
Ahoy! This is the month for sailing all
kinds of ships and setting sail into the sea of Cub Scouting. Besides
learning how to tie knots, we will set sail on adventurous journeys and
take a trip down the raingutter at the boy-powered raingutter regatta.
October (November) – Cubs in Shining Armor
Hear ye! Hear ye! The Royal Court of
the Order of Hou Koda is now in session. This month is a time for honor,
sportsmanship, fitness, and, of course, when work is done, merriment at
the Royal Tournament! The highlight this month will be the knighting of
our new knights. The king will give a special charge to his loyal
subjects. There is much to do, much to learn, in the kingdom of Cub
Scouts.
November (December) – Cub Scout Stars
See the lights in the night sky and
marvel. Cub Scouts this month enjoy looking upward to the stars. They
can spot the animals, people, and imaginary creatures of the
constellations, and the powerful light cast off by objects far, far away.
This month’s theme brings the stars closer to home with activities and
fun!
December (January) – Poles Apart
Travel north or travel south – there you
will find ice and snow. Where are you? The North or South Pole! Learn
about the explorers who have braved these cold climates. Can you guess
which animals make their homes in these frozen lands? Practice with a map
and compass and learn about magnets and polarity. This is a great time to
earn the Map and Compass belt loop and pin.
January (February) – Aloha, Cub Scouts!
Aloha! This word has many meanings:
love, affection, kindness, hello, and good-bye are just a few. Right now,
hello and welcome to our luau! Hawaii is a state of many islands where
the weather is warm and volcanos rise above beautiful beaches. How
exciting to be exploring our 50th state, its people and
culture. Now, let’s capture that “Aloha Spirit”!
February (March) – Baloo Skies
Rain, rain, go away – we’re looking for
Baloo skies! Cub Scouts will learn how weather affects our daily lives.
Visit a weather station or watch the weather forecast on television or the
Internet. Find out how meteorologists predict the weather and how we can
rely on Mother Nature’s simple signs of impending weather. Make a rain
gauge or weather vane, watch the clouds, and become an amateur
meteorologist. Earn the Weather belt loop and pin. At your Den or Pack
meetings, a science teacher, weather forecaster, or meteorologist could be
special guests.
March (April) – Cub Café
Refreshments will be served! This month
we take notice that food is part of life. Wherever we go or whatever we
celebrate, food is involved. In today’s world it is important for us to
teach our boys how to eat a healthy diet and why we need to eat
healthfully. There are many ways to do this, and we will explore
alternative snacks and desserts along with recipes for low-fat and
sugar-free cooking. We adults, too, need to set an example.
April (May) – Cub and Bugs Galore
Bugs and boys! They go together like
peanut butter and jelly. All boys love creepy, crawly, slimy bugs and
things that crawl, jump, and slither. This month is the perfect
opportunity to satisfy the natural curiosity of the boys, and teach them
about our multi-legged, crawling friends. Where do bugs go in the
winter? Where does honey come from? The coming warm weather and new
growth of spring offer many occasions to teach your Cub Scouts about our
exciting bug friends.
May (June) – Wheel into Summer
What would we do if the wheel had never
been invented? We wouldn’t have bicycles, skateboards, scooters, roller
skates, and rollerblades for fun and exercise. Since we have the wheel,
it’s time to go outside and have a wheely great time. This month your Den
or Pack can host a bicycle rodeo and fulfill requirements for the
Bicycling belt loop and pin. There is also a Roller Skating belt loop and
pin for additional Den and Pack activities. There’s lots of outdoor fun
this month!
June (July) – The Rockets’ Red Glare
July is a month for outdoor fun, but
also a time for celebrating the freedom we all enjoy. This month the boys
will learn flag etiquette and the responsibilities of good citizenship.
Patriotic games and crafts hold lots of fun in store for the boys this
month.
