Heroes in History Theme (Honesty)

April 29, 2019 Leave a Comment

BSA has a Cub Scout pack meeting plan called Heroes in History related to citizenship. The Heroes in History  meeting plan features games, group activities, songs, and more to help Cub Scouts learn the value of honest leadership.

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

Honesty is paired with heroes because throughout history heroes have distinguished themselves as honest people. They gained the respect and admiration of others through their vision of how the future could be changed without using dishonest means to achieve their goals.

More ideas for the Heroes in History theme:

When I Was Young Gathering Activity
"When I Was Young" can be used as one of the gathering activities for any meeting centered around a history theme or a photography or cinema theme. This also works well for a Blue and Gold banquet.
My Story Mystery Game
The My Story Mystery Game is a great way to get to know some "history" about a group of individuals. It makes a great icebreaker. It can also serve as an introduction to a discussion about oral history and storytelling.
A Scout Is Trustworthy
Scouts are known for their honesty. Saying "Scout's Honor" is a way of saying "You can trust me". Here are some ideas for the first point of the Scout Law. Add your own ideas about how "A Scout Is Trustworthy" to the comments.
Johnny Appleseed Grace (Song)
Duty to God is an important part of Scouting, so don't forget to say grace at Scouting events. This is a non-denominational grace which would be appropriate at any meal.
Four Facts Game
This is an icebreaker game. It would also work well with any activity relating to personal history or storytelling. I think it could also be worked into a discussion about honesty.
Cubmaster Minute – Science and Perseverance
Here is a brief Cubmaster minute to help Cub Scout understand why perseverance is important. It could also be used as a Scoutmaster minute.
