Work on this at home - Parents and Bear Cubs

Advancement possibilities highlighted this month:

Achievements 3a, 3b, 3f, 6g, 11d, 24d

A salute shows respect. A salute is a way to give attention to another. A salute is a good thing for a Cub Scout to learn and practice. As boys explore the idea of heroes around them, the obvious focus may be on citizenship. Boys (Bear Cubs - the older boys) will prepare for the den meeting, where they will share their thoughts on America. If certain boys are uncomfortable about getting up and sharing, the den leader could share out loud some of their writings.
Leaders will want all boys to participate in their own way.

Bear Cub Scout families are encouraged to work on additional achievements and electives that support this theme, such as:

• Achievement 3c, What Makes America Special? Exploring older homes near where boys live may reveal that historic heroes occupied these homes.
• Achievement 22d, Tying It All Up: Boys can learn how to coil a rope and toss it with accuracy.

Elective 19, Swimming: Learning the basic skill of swimming will be an achievement with lifelong benefits. Here is info on local pools: Mary Siah or Hamme
