Head West Young Man Cub Scout Theme (Perseverance)

June 12, 2012 Leave a Comment

BSA has a Cub Scout pack meeting plan called Head West Young Man related to the value of Perseverance. For more ideas for use with this theme, see the bottom of this page.

 Here is how the BSA plan suggests tying together this theme with this value:

Perseverance is defined as sticking with something and not giving up, even if it is difficult. As the pioneers headed west across this great country, they met many difficulties, yet they did not give up. Instead, they kept going, overcame the adversities they met, and helped to develop our  wonderful country.

My Favorite Knot Book
This book was recommended a few years ago when I went to Cub Scout BALOO training. I am not a "knot person". I can watch someone do a knot and repeat it, but an hour later it is forgotten.
