The Cub Scout Leader How-To Book--Something for Everyone!

The Cub Scout Leader How-To Book, No. 33832, is the ultimate source for den and pack leaders to find new and creative ideas for adding excitement and sparkle to all Cub Scouting meetings and adventures. This resource will enable Cub Scouting leaders from all program levels to plan den and pack programs that will be fun for everyone. While they are having fun, boys will be learning, advancing in rank, and strengthening relationships with one another. That's what Cub Scouting is all about.

Cub Scout Program Helps

The most important resource tool to help Cub Scout leaders plan their meetings is Cub Scout Program Helps, No. 34304. This booklet has everything a leader needs to get started, whether planning a den meeting or a pack meeting. For each month, you will find:

  • An agenda and plans for the monthly pack meeting
  • Plans for the monthly pack leaders' meeting
  • Four weeks of den meeting plans for Tiger Cubs
  • Four weeks of den meeting plans for Wolf Cub Scouts
  • Four weeks of den meeting plans for Bear Cub Scouts

These plans revolve around a recommended theme, used by Cub Scout packs around the country. They highlight achievements and electives that can be started and/or completed during the den meeting. Additional achievements and electives are identified for boys to complete at home with their families. You will also find references to Cub Scout enrichment programs such as Cub Scout Academic and Sports and the BSA Family Program.
