Many people wonder if these small pieces should be saved, given away, or buried with the ashes. There are different opinions on this, and no single answer.

Bear Strong Den Meeting Plan
This Bear Strong Adventure den meeting teaches Bear Scouts how to make healthy choices through fun activities.

Making Up Missed Requirements for Cub Scouts
If a Cub Scout has missed requirements, families can often organize a similar activity on their own. For example, if the den went on a hike and your Scout missed it, you could take them on a family hike. If they missed a service project, they could do a small project at home or in your neighborhood. Making up activities this way keeps the Scout engaged and allows them to learn the same lessons as the rest of the den.
