January Newsletter

Theme: “A-Maze-Ing” Games

January is a good time for indoor fun. Make and solve puzzles, stump your friends with riddles, build a maze, or enjoy any of the games you have at home. You will not only have a lot of fun in these activities, but you will also learn new things. Some of the things you will learn doing with these activities include resourcefulness, sportsmanship, and honesty. All of these are essential in being a good Scout.

Reminder: Each boy can bring his favortie Board game to Pack Meeting to share!!!

Also, anyone who brings a riddle to Pack Meeting to share will get an extra something!!


FAITH IN GOD

In the Faith in God booklet under Serving Others, item #8 says “Read the twelfth article of faith. Discuss what it means to be a good citizen and how your actions can affect others.” This month all the Cub Scouts should have been learning the 12th Article of Faith in Primary or their dens. The Webelos have discussed how to be good citizens in their den meeting. They have completed this requirement. The Bears and Wolves can quickly finish this one at home discussing the last part with you.
