Space Cub Scout Theme

Leave a Comment

Thinking about space can encourage the imagination and spark an interest in science and engineering. Cub Scouts find these topics fascinating.

Help your pack or den reach for the stars with these ideas and achievements:

Astronaut Pudding Recipe
This is a fun, simple snack for Cub Scouts. It can be a little messy, so when I did this with ZM’s den we went outside. This makes a great snack for any space themed meeting.
Use the Force Star Wars Game
The idea of this game is for each player to "use the force" to keep a balloon on a pool noodle light saber.
Dock Your Flying Saucer Game
The idea of this game is to put the flying saucer (a Frisbee) in its space dock (a box). This is a good game for indoors or out.
Dad’s Favorite Star Cookies Recipe
Here is another Christmas cookie. These are not very sweet. ZM and LC like to sprinkle these with colored sugar before we bake them.
Draw the Solar System Worksheet
If you are working on an astronomy related achievement, a good place to start is by learning about the solar system. Here is a worksheet I created which will help get you started.
Astronomy Word Search Puzzle
This word search puzzle features astronomy terms. Use it as a gathering activity at a space themed meeting or for an astronomy related achievement. It would work well with the Astronomy Merit Badge or the Out of this World Nova Award for Cub Scouts.
Science Fiction Day
January 2 is Science Fiction Day. This day encourages everyone to pick up a science fiction book and immerse themselves in a new reality. Science fiction encourages us to consider that the world can be different than it is now - better or worse - and our actions will make an impact on the future. So read a book, sing a song or play a game saluting Star Wars or Star Trek. Some books, songs, and games are suggested in this article.
The Noble Captain Kirk Song
Everyone familiar with the Star Trek series knows how much they like to beam people back and forth the transporter. Sing this song as a tribute to the series.
