Cub Scout Pack Meeting Plan – Go for the Gold (Perseverance)

February 18, 2021 Leave a Comment

Cub Scouts can learn about perseverance. BSA has a Cub Scout pack meeting plan called Go for the Gold related to this value. The Go for the Gold meeting plan features ideas for the core value of perseverance- games, group activities, songs, and more.

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

 Perseverance means sticking with something and not giving up, even if it is difficult. This month’s theme, “Go for the Gold,” will help Scouts learn and experience the perseverance gold miners had long ago as they try to obtain treasures on their pack Go for the Gold Day!
