Soaring the Skies Cub Scout Pack Meeting Plan (Reverent)

BSA has a Cub Scout pack meeting plan called Soaring the Skies  related to Scout Law point of reverent. The Soaring the Skies meeting plan features ideas for the value of faith – games, group activities, songs, and more.

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

Faith is having inner strength and confidence based on your trust in a higher power. When you try something new, innovative, or dangerous, it takes faith to make the attempt—faith that a higher power will guide you and keep you safe. It takes faith when we want to fly into the soaring skies. We need faith in the pilots, co-pilots, the engine and electrical system, the compass, and all of the airplane’s instruments. More importantly, it is faith that gives you the courage to board a plane, knowing that a higher power will make sure you take off, fly to your destination, and land safely. This month’s theme reminds us that faith helps us reach for the sky with our goals and that we should keep faith in all aspects of our lives.
