We would love for the parents to attend the monthly Committee meetings and help plan for each month's Pack meeting,and other big events like the Blue and Gold and the Pinewood Derby. Next month we will also have a big event-the Popcorn Extravaganze! We can accomplish great things together! This is going to be a great year! See you at the Pack Meeting!

August Theme:Fun in the Sun

WOLF SCOUTS: Advancement possibilities highlighted with this months theme: Achievements 2a, 8e; Elective 11. With the summer in full swing, have fun in the sun. Cub Scouts can enjoy the special times with their family and plan a picnic. Have your son involved in planning what to do, what to cook, and what to bring to make it all happen. Boys learn a valuable lesson when they learn that planning for activities is satisfying when all the plans fall into place and the event is successful. Additional achievements and electives that support this theme, such as: ••Achievement 4f, Know Your Home and Community: “Fun in the sun” applies to trips of discovery. Families will benefit from visiting a local historic location. ••Achievement 10, Family Fun: When Cub Scouts complete the Character Connection for Cooperation, it opens the door to family communication and working together toward mutual goals. ••Elective 14, Pets: Boys can enjoy their pets and have fun with them in the sun while learning responsibility as they take care of pets over the summer. BEAR SCOUTS Advancement possibilities highlighted in this month’s meeting plans: Achievements 9d, 9e, 12, 15, 16, 18d, 18e. Fun in the sun takes planning. Bear Cub Scouts get a chance to learn organizational skills this month. The den will plan its family outdoor day—details of the location, the menu and what foods to bring, what games to play, and what equipment will be needed. This is a shining opportunity for the boys to have a critical part in planning their activity. Congratulate your Cub Scouts, because the ability to organize is an essential life skill. Additional achievements and electives that support this theme, such as: ••Achievement 14, Ride Right: Summertime brings outdoor time, and boys will be riding bikes. Reinforce bike safety and traffic knowledge. With school right around the corner, being aware of the route to school may be important for many. ••Achievement 24, Be a Leader: Boys may see a new boy in their neighborhood or have new den members from spring recruiting. Each Cub Scout can help a new boy through the Bobcat trail or identify a new neighbor who would like to join Cub Scouting. ••Elective 6b, Aircraft: Vacation time often involves travel. As Cub Scouts experience airplane flight, they have the chance to review what kind of an airplane they are on and what it is that makes it fly!
