Alternate Programs Scouting@Home Program

The Council has worked hard to create monthly themes that our Scouting@Home Committee feels will provide most units with enough material to make a great monthly program.  But if you are looking for more ideas, these should help.

 

Cub Scout Meeting Ideas

Yo-Yo Preview Adventure

• Skits
• Jokes
• Ghost Stories
• Sing alongs
• Stunts

STEM

Cub Comedy

• Dad Jokes
• Run-ons
• Silly banter between Den Leader
• And don’t be afraid to bring the corn

Only rule is – it needs to be scout appropriate.

 

Guest Speaker

A dynamic Guest Speaker can really make for a memorable event.  This is what has worked in the past:

• Firefighter – especially if they can do a tour of the station and trucks
• Artist – teach scouts how to draw
• Shark diver
• Police officer with K-9 partner
• Military vet with a great story
• Community leader – the right leader and right questions can work

 

History of Scouting

A presentation on the history of scouting can be fun and informative.  Talk about interesting aspect of the past.  Assign each den leader to talk about something special.  Also consider:

• Getting an Order of the Arrow rep to speak
• Get an older scouts to talk about Scouts BSA
• Talk about Explores, Venturing and Sea Scouts
• Show picture of our leaders doing scout stuff

 

Cub Lecture/Class

 Some people can pull this one off, but it is really hard.  The lecture needs to be fun, engaging and short.  Good luck. 

• Teach a Skill
• Go on a virtual tour

 

Pack Meeting Plans

Small Pack Plans

Crossroads Council has developed an excellent curriculum for small packs with just a few scout per den.  This program allows packs to run activities that will cover Adventure for multiple ranks. 

Some packs will find these resources useful.
