Advancement possibilities highlighted this month: Achievements 1g, 2b, 6a–c; Electives 2a, 11a.
Explore the land before time! Imagine living when dinosaurs roamed the Earth. What have paleontologists learned about the great beasts that roamed the Earth millions of years ago? Did any dinosaurs live where you do now? Find out what they ate, where they lived, and how they moved. What could we learn of these creatures that lived so long ago? Make a model of a dinosaur or visit a museum where dinosaur fossils can be seen. Work on the Geology belt loop and pin.
Cub Scout families are encouraged to work on additional achievements and electives that support this theme, such as:
••Achievement 7, Your Living World: Boys can explore the way the world around them gets dirty. Did the dinosaurs litter? Probably not!
