Invention Convention Cub Scout Pack Meeting Plan (Resourcefulness)

 BSA has a Cub Scout pack meeting plan called Invention Convention related to the value of resourcefulness, which relates to the Scout Law point of Thrifty. The Invention Convention  meeting plan features ideas for the core value of resourcefulness – games, group activities, songs, and more which enable Cub Scouts to use their creativity.

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

This month’s theme promotes creativity, imagination, and resourcefulness. Close your eyes and dream. Cub Scouts will learn that the sky’s the limit when it comes to a great idea. The boys will also see that anyone with an idea and the desire can be an inventor.
