Cubmaster carries a water squirter and a beach towel. Now he lays them down after wringing out some imaginary drops of water. Well, weve come to the end of another deliciously delightful pack meeting. In planning a successful activity for Cub Scout age boys, there are five essential ingredients to include: First is ACTION. Boys find it impossible to sit and do nothing. Action makes everything much easier. Today we had ACTION! Second is SOMETHING TO WATCH. Watching and helping celebrate anothers accomplishments and hard work is one of the best ways to have fun watching. Third is having SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT. Its fun for Scouts to hear adults telling stories and fun for them to do things that are worth talking about later. I think we accomplished that today. Fourth is SOMETHING TO LAUGH AT. We all need to enjoy laughter; and sharing fun experiences is one of the best ways to do that. Did we succeed with laughter? Fifth is SOMETHING TO HELP WITH. Parents, leaders and family members are involved in helping Cub Scouts move along on their trail toward Bobcat, Wolf, Bear, WEBELOS, and Arrow of Light. But just in case you missed out on helping this week, we have one more chance -- after the retiring of the colors, you can all HELP with the cleanup!
