Welcome Scouts and Scouters! Here you can find resources for Cub Scouts, Scouts BSA, and Venturers. I also have ideas for games, crafts, recipes, ceremonies, songs, skits, themes and more.
Current Topics for Scouts and Scouters
Hubbub – A Native American Dice Game
Hubbub is a traditional Native American dice game. The scoring systems seem to vary from one reference to another, so the system below is a simplified system which scouts should be able to follow.
Arrow of Light Bobcat Den Meeting Plan
This Arrow of Light Bobcat Adventure den meeting plan helps Scouts prepare for Scouts BSA by learning about teamwork, leadership, and Scouting traditions. Scouts will choose a patrol name, elect a patrol leader, and create a Code of Conduct. They will also practice the Scout Oath and Law, learn the Scout sign, salute, and handshake, and discuss the Scouts BSA motto and slogan. Fun activities like skits, relays, and a good turn brainstorm make learning engaging. If visiting a Scouts BSA troop, older Scouts can help lead. A snack and closing reflection bring the meeting to a strong
USA Cub Scout Theme
This USA Cub Scout theme focused on U.S. citizenship aims to educate young Scouts about their country and the value of active participation in their community. This theme is designed to instill a deep sense of national pride and responsibility by teaching Scouts about U.S. symbols, history, and the importance of citizenship. Through various activities, Scouts learn how to properly handle and respect the U.S. flag, a fundamental aspect of showing respect to their country.
Wood Carving Merit Badge
While working on the requirements for the Wood Carving merit badge, Scouts discover how to express themselves by making items out of wood. They learn how to safely use and care for wood carving tools. Then they demonstrate their knowledge by creating a couple of wooden projects.
Webelos Build It Adventure
The Webelos Build It Adventure teaches Scouts about tools, safety, and basic carpentry. They learn to use different tools and the importance of being safe. They also learn how to check if their work is plumb, level, and square. Scouts then plan and build a project. This adventure helps them develop practical skills and confidence. It’s a fun and educational experience that prepares them for more complex projects in the future.
The Twinkie Song
The Twinkie Song is a silly song to the tune of “Do a Deer” from The Sound of Music. Could be used to take a break in a den meeting or pack meeting or as part of a campfire program.
I Have to Go Wee Skit
This skit works with any number of Scouts. And because there aren’t really any lines to memorize, I have seen it done successfully with all levels – even Tigers.
Why Opossum Has a Bare Tail
The story of why Opossum has a bare tail is fun and meaningful. It teaches about the dangers of envy, acting without thinking, and being careless with fire. Opossum wanted to copy Raccoon’s tail but made his fire too big and burned all the fur off his tail. This tale also explains why opossums have bare tails today. For the Creek/Muscogee people, stories like this share lessons about nature, life, and safety while entertaining listeners. It reminds us to respect fire, plan carefully, and think about the consequences of our actions. Stories like this help us learn and stay safe.
Nature Merit Badge
The requirements for the Nature merit badge help scouts learn about plants and wildlife and the connection of all living things. They identify different types of wildlife and consider their importance in ecosystems.
Bear Salmon Run Adventure
The Bear Salmon Run Adventure teaches Bear Cub Scouts about swimming and water safety. They learn the roles of a good adult supervisor and the different swimming ability groups. Scouts practice swimming using the buddy system and do buddy checks. They also try a beginner swim test and learn rescue methods like reach and throw rescues. This adventure helps scouts become safer in the water and more confident in their swimming skills. It’s a mix of learning and fun in a safe environment.
