Space: The New Frontier – Cub Scout Theme (Brave)

January 12, 2021 Leave a Comment

The Space: The New Frontier meeting plan features ideas for the core value of courage which relates to Brave in the Scout Law.  Here is how the BSA plan suggests tying together this theme with the value of courage:

It takes courage to explore a new frontier, to cast aside the comfort of the life we know to go forth and explore our universe. Our Cub Scouts show similar courage in exploring the options and challenges of their advancement in Scouting, which we know will help them grow up strong and courageous as they lead our complicated world and learn more about our universe.

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.
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.
