Cub Scout Archives: Passport to Other Lands

Passport to Other Lands is one of the Cub Scout program themes for the core value of Respect. Here is what the program helps say about this theme:

“Today we recognize that people of many different nationalities live in our communities. Learning about the ways of others helps lead to understanding, which in turn leads to respect. Respect means showing regard for the worth of something or someone. This month we focus on having respect for others by learning about the customs, religions, foods, and traditions of our friends from other countries.”
