Cub Scout Archives: Gives Goodwill

Gives Goodwill is one of the Cub Scout program themes for the core value of citizenship. Here is what the program helps say about this theme:

“Cub Scouts learn about the true spirit of Scouting this month as they show an act of goodwill by being good citizens providing a service for someone in need during the colder months. Citizenship means contributing service and showing responsibility to local, state, and national communities. By helping fellow citizens in our local community, we remember the Law of the Pack and what it means when we say “gives goodwill.””

So this theme provides an opportunity for your Cub Scouts to help others through service projects.
