Training Highlight:  Wood Badge

Wood Badge is a leadership training course which delivers high quality skills and techniques for leaders in all areas of Scouting. It draws from a wide range of sources within and beyond the bounds of Scouting to model the best techniques for developing leadership and teamwork among both young people and adults.

Because it was begun by Baden-Powell in England in 1919, it is clearly backed by the finest thought and tradition of the founder. Wood Badge is a great force for world brotherhood and provides leadership for Scouting and leadership for America.

Wood Badge teaches leadership techniques in a hands-on environment which you will be able apply to your Scouting involvement and your personal life.

As a result of attending Wood Badge you will...

• View Scouting globally, as a family of interrelated, values-based programs that provide age-appropriate activities for youth. 
• Recognize the contemporary leadership concepts utilized in corporate America and leading government organizations that are relevant to our values-based movement. 
• Revitalize your commitment by sharing in an overall inspirational experience that helps provide Scouting with the leadership it needs to accomplish its mission on an ongoing basis. 
• Apply the skills you will learn from your participation as a member of a successful working team.

Register online at https://www.trappertrails.org/woodbadge for one of the following sessions:

Course #1:  March 24-26 AND April 7-9 at Camp Kiesel

Resource of the Month:  Cub Scout Nova Awards Guidebook (Updated)

​BSA’s NOVA Awards program incorporates learning with cool activities and exposure to STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics). The hope is that the requirements and activities for earning these awards stimulates interest in STEM-related fields and shows Scouts how STEM principles apply to everyday living and the world around them. Counselors and mentors help bring this engaging, contemporary, and fun program to life for youth members.

This guidebook contains requirements and information to help Cub Scouts master achievements within the NOVA program and includes a section for counselors as well.

​Pick up your copy at the Scout Shop for $3.50.  Please note that the requirements were updated to reflect the new Cub Adventures program, so make sure your copy was printed in 2015, and includes Adventure requirements, not Academic and Sports program requirements.  Or you can find the requirements online at ​

http://www.scouting.org/stem/Awards/CubScout.aspx

​.​

For their first NOVA award, Scouts earn the distinctive NOVA award patch. After that, a Scout can earn three more NOVA awards, each one recognized with a separate pin-on device that attaches to the patch. The patch and the three devices represent each of the four STEM topics—science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. 

There are four Nova awards for Cub Scouts

​ and​

 Webelos Scouts

​. ​

 Each award covers one component of STEM—science, technology, engineering, or mathematics.

• Cub Scout Nova awards: Science Everywhere, Tech Talk, Swing!, and 1-2-3 Go!

​        ​

The Supernova Awards

The Supernova awards have more rigorous requirements than the Nova awards. The requirements and activities were designed to motivate youth and recognize more in-depth, advanced achievement in STEM-related activities.

​ 

 ​

For earning the Supernova award, Scouts receive a medal and certificate.

​________________________________________

Patch of the Month:  Cub Scout Shooting Sports​

Many of us were worried when the Academics and Sports Program was discontinued that we would no longer have the opportunity for Archery or BB gun shooting.  BSA just announced the new Cub Scout Shooting Sports Awards Requirements!

Take aim at fun and excitement in 

​our​

 council with the new Cub Scout Shooting Sports Awards. The awards will be offered in three disciplines: BB guns, archery, and slingshots. Councils may choose to offer one or more of the disciplines. With rank-specific requirements and insignia, there is incentive for boys to earn the awards year after year at camp. Our youth members consistently list shooting sports as one of their most-desired outdoor activities. With these new awards, Cub Scouts will hit the bull’s-eye with fun!

​Find the details at ​

http://www.scouting.org/filestore/program_update/pdf/510-320_WEB.pdf

​.​

Bryan on Scouting has an excellent article on Cub Scout Shooting Sports:

Pack Resource Sheet for March 2016

Scout Law: Thrifty

A Scout works to pay his way. He uses time, property, and natural resources wisely.

Theme: Cubstruction

Part of being thrifty is avoiding waste and using resources wisely. It is important to learn how to conserve and repurpose the many items we use every day to help our environment. We can also use our resources in innovative ways for fun and adventure.

Preopening Activity: Toothpick puzzles

Give 8 toothpicks to each person. Challenge them to use the toothpicks to produce 2 squares and 4 triangles.

Opening Ceremony: Building Character

#1 (carrying hammer): In Cub Scouting, we learn to build character.

#2 (carrying plank): It is not what the boy does to the wood, but rather what the wood does for the boy.

#3 (carrying a plane): Through Cub Scouting, we learn to remove the sharp edges off our personalities.

#4 (carrying sandpaper): As we grow as Cub Scouts, we become more refined and smooth in our manners.

#5 (carrying a tool chest): Our talents are gathered together, and we get a chance to try them out when our den works on a theme each month.

#6 (walking with parent): When our parents help us earn adventure loops, we learn how to use the tools of life.

ALL: Thank you all for helping us grow into well-rounded citizens.

Song: Cubstruction

Tune: Alouette

Chorus: Cubstruction, we build with Cubstruction.

Cubstruction, it's how we build our world.

First you take a block of wood,

Then you cut it down to size.

Block of wood, down to size,

OOOooohhh!

Chorus

Next you take the right size nail,

Then you hammer carefully.

Block of wood, down to size,

Right size nail, carefully,

OOOOoooohhhh!

Chorus

Now you take a big paintbrush,

Then you paint it very nice.

Block of wood, down to size,

Right size nail, carefully,

Big paintbrush, very nice,

OOOoooohhhh!

Chorus

Last we put our name on it,

Then we know that we are done.

Block of wood, down to size,

Right size nail, carefully,

Big paintbrush, very nice,

Name on it- WE ARE DONE!

Advancement Ceremony: Cubstruction

The CM wears a work apron with a carpenter's tool belt. Awards and parent's pins are taped to wood scraps hidden in tool belt. Be sure to emphasize the verbal puns throughout the ceremony.

CM: Tonight, we have some boys who “saw” the opportunity to “nail down” some advancement. At times these boys had to keep “hammering” on some of the tougher requirements, but they continued “drilling,” “carving,” and “sanding”- and finally “cut” through. We “wood” like to honor them tonight. These boys have “chiseled” through the requirements for the Bobcat badge (take Bobcat awards from tool belt, hold them up and call boys names). We “wood” like to have their parents present the award (hand awards to parents for presentation). Bobcats, “wood” you now pin the parent's pin on your parent? (hand out pins)

Repeat for each rank, using new puns:

Tiger- filed      Wolf-sharpened

Bear-cut         Webelos-painted

Arrow of Light-hammered

Cheers

Timber: Divide audience into 2 sides. One says, “Chip!” The other says “Chop!” After a few rounds, everyone yells, “Timber!”

Electric Drill: Make “Brrrrrr” sound for as long as you can.

Sandpaper: Rub hands together as loud as you can.

Super Glue: Hands get stuck on the first clap and can't be pulled apart. The pack then yells out a source of help (Home Depot, Lowe's, etc)

Rubber Tree: Pretend you are using an ax to chop a tree. Every time you swing, the ax bounces back. Make a bouncing noise, “Boing, boing!”

Skit: The Invisible Bench

Two Cub Scouts are building an invisible bench using invisible tools. They pretend to hammer and saw, lift pieces, and carry the completed bench to a spot onstage. Make sure they make the bench look heavy!

#1: Boy, am I glad we are done building this invisible bench.

#2: Yeah, let's go show it to (name of leader)

#3 and #4 now enter, move the invisible bench to the other side of the stage, and leave. #1 returns and squats as though sitting on the invisible bench where it was originally placed.

#1: I'll just sit here on the bench until (#2's name) returns with (leader's name) to check our work.

#2 (enters with leader): Here it is! Come try out our bench.

#2 and leader sit on bench beside #1. All three of them comment about how comfortable and well made the bench is. Other Cubs can enter and sit on the bench if you need more participants.

Finally, #3 and #4 return and look surprised.

#3: What are you guys doing?

#2: We're sitting on the invisible bench.

#4 (points): But we moved it over there this morning!

All (pretending to fall off the bench): Ahhhh!

Cubmaster's Minute: Building

This month's theme of Cubstruction is about building things. Anything worth building takes some thoughtful planning so that we know what materials we need, what rules we have to follow, and when we need to get it done.

While you're building something useful, you are also building your skills. So if something was tough for you to build this time, it won't be as hard the next time. You're not only building cool stuff, but you're building your own personal toolbox of skills that you will carry with your for the rest of your life.

Closing Ceremony: Tools that Build a Better World

Materials: Ruler, hammer, saw, drill, wrench, plunger, and pliers.

7 Cub Scouts hold up the 7 tools. Each boy's lines are written in large print and tagged on the tool for him to read.

#1 (ruler): We are the future builders of America and the world. And this is how we will shape tomorrow.

#2 (hammer): I will hammer out injustice.

#3 (saw): I will help cut out crime.

#4 (drill): I will drill love into every heart.

#5 (wrench): I will wrench out discrimination.

#6 (plunger): I will plunge out hatred.

#7 (pliers): I will pinch out poverty.

All: Good night!

Game: Steam Roller

Play the game “Red Rover”, but replace those words with “Steam Roller”

Game: Dump Truck Relay Race

Materials: Cardboard boxes decorated like a dump truck, newspaper (wadded up into “boulders”)

Divide “boulders” evenly between the dump trucks. Divide participants into 2 teams. Place 1 dump truck full of “boulders” by each team. Place an empty box at the other end of the room, or running distance if outdoors. Goal is to move “boulders” from their team's dump truck to the empty box, without moving their dump truck. They may use any method they wish (individually running with a handful of “boulders”, setting up a line and passing the “boulders” from person to person, etc.) First team to empty their dump truck wins.

Cub Grub

Place construction signs next to each item. Serve “safety cones” (bugles), “plywood” (wafer cookies), “rebar” (pretzels), “wrecking balls” (donut holes), orange jello in clear cups decorated to look like safety cones.

Pack Resource Sheet for February 2016

Scout Law: Friendly

A Scout is a friend to everyone, even people who are very different from him.

Theme: Friends Near and Far

A Scout is a friend to all. He is a brother to other Scouts. He offers his friendship to people of all races and nations, and respects the beliefs and customs of others. Friends Near and Far reminds us that we are part of something bigger than our own community. By living the Scout Law, we are accepting of the world's peoples and their values.

Gathering Activity: Name That Flag

Pin up flags from various countries around the room. Number each flag. Give a numbered list to each person. Have them write the country the flag is from next to the correct number on the paper. Printable flags can be found here: http://www.activityvillage.co.uk/flag-printables.

Gathering Activity: Flag of Me

Materials: blank pieces of paper, crayons/markers

As participants arrive have them design a flag that reflects their personal “country” using the materials provided. Invite the boys to present their flags as part of the opening flag ceremony (carried in by each boy after the American Flag).

Opening Ceremony: Greetings Around the World

Materials: cue cards with the Cub Scouts' lines printed on the back; a world map showing which countries have Scouting organizations (see: https://www.scout.org/nso).

CM: Welcome to our meeting. There are 149 countries in the World Brotherhood of Scouting, as shown on our map. There are many languages spoken in those countries, but no matter where you go or how it is said, you can count on being greeted by a Scout who says, “Hello”:

#1 (Spanish): Hola (OH-lah)

#2 (French): Bonjour (bohn-ZHOOR)

#3 (German): Guten Tag (GOOT-en Tahg)

#4 (Mandarin): Ni hao (nee-HOW)

#5 (Russian): Zdravstvuite (ZzDrast-vet-yah)

#6 (Swahili): Jambo (JAM-bo)

#7 (Arabic): Al Salaam a' alaykum (AHL sah-LAHM-ah ah-LAY-koom)

#8 (Hindi): Nahmaste (nah-mah-STAY)

#9 (Hebrew): Shalom (Sha-LOHM)

Song: Scouting Around the World

Tune: Battle Hymn of the Republic

Around the world as far away

As England or Peru,

Wherever there are kids who

Like to play a game or two,

You'll find some Scouts who do their best

In everything they do,

The best in all the world!

(Chorus)

Scouts are having fun all over!

Scouts are having fun all over!

Scouts are having fun all over!

The best in all the world!

The Scouts all hike and fish and camp

Wherever they may be.

They ride their bikes and sing fun songs

The same as you and me.

We're each a tiny parcel

Of the Scouting family

The best in all the world!

(Chorus)

Advancement Ceremony: Around the World

Materials: large globe, badges of rank, assorted small international flags on table, stars taped to globe

Preparation: Each star has the name of a boy who has earned an award; each star is placed on the globe on a country that has a Scouting program. Colors of stars correspond to the ranks: yellow-Bobcat, orange-Tiger, red-Wolf, blue-Bear, green-Webelos.

CM: Every minute of every day of every year, thousands of boys are enjoying the fun and excitement of Cub Scouting somewhere in the world. The Cub Scout uniform varies from country to country, but all the uniforms have one thing in common- they promote Scouting and its goals. Cub Scouts are also awarded different badges of rank in different countries. In Japan and Korea, Cub Scouts earn the Rabbit, Deer and Bear badges. In Australia, the badges are the Bronze, Silver, and Gold Boomerangs. In South Africa, Cub Scouts earn the Tenderpad Badge.

While working on their badges, Cub Scouts all around the world shine as brightly as the stars in the sky. Tonight, we have some stars of our own to recognize.

(The CM spins the globe, removes a star, identifies the country, then reads the boy's name and calls him and his family to receive his badge, starting with the Bobcats, spinning the globe for each boy.)

CM: These boys, like Cub Scouts all over the world, have worked together and developed new interests, which make them better citizens of our country and of the world. Let's give them a cheer to show how proud we are of them.

Cheers

World Brotherhood: Split audience into 2 parts. Assign one “World” and the other “Brotherhood.” Have them yell it as you point to them. Go faster and faster. At a signal, they all yell, “That's Scouting spirit!”

Snowflake Cheer: Each audience member points to another person and says, “You are one of a kind!”

Leaning Tower of Pisa: Have the group stand and on the count of three, lean to the left.

Official Applause and Cheer: Left hand raised, group claps. Right hand raised, group cheers. Raise both hand, they do both

Spanish Flamenco Applause: Stand with left hand on hip and right hand held above head in the manner of a flamenco dancer. Simultaneously snap fingers on our right hand and stamp your feet in a fast tempo while turning slowly. Continue until you have made a complete circle. Every quarter turn, yell “Ole!”

Holland Windmill Applause: Hold both arms out straight at shoulder level. Standing on one foot, spin around while rotating arms in circle. Make a loud shoosh sound like the wind.

Italian Applause: Bravo! Bravo!

Skit:

Set up: Cubmaster is holding several travel brochures. Each Cub Scout has one brochure with his lines written inside it.

CM: Our pack has been studying all about other countries this month and now we need to plan our pack trip. There are so many neat countries to visit, I just don’t know where to begin. (Looks at brochures in his hands)

Cub # 1. We could go to Mexico--The motto for Cub Scouts there is “Always My Best.”

Cub # 2. Or we could go to Japan--Scouts there start as Beaver Cubs and aim towards Fuji Scout, like climbing their highest mountain.

Cub # 3. It says here that the Egyptian Scout and Guide Federation includes four associations: Air Scouts, Sea Scouts, Boy Scouts and Girl Guides. Cub # 4. Scotland is part of the Scout Association in the United Kingdom which includes Scotland, England, Ireland, and Wales. Their program is called Scoutreach.

Cub # 5. Here it says that in Canada there are two Scouting organizations--one for the English speaking Scouts and one for French speaking Scouts.

Cub # 6. The program emphasis in the Scout Association of Australia is on adventure, camping, bushcraft, and FUN!

Cub # 7. Scouting was founded in Kenya in 1910. They do community service projects which include planting trees and campaigning for literacy.

CM: Wow--we sure are lucky to belong to such a world-wide organization. We have over three million members in the Boy Scouts of America. Let's go visit some of the other 25 million scouts in the world!

Cubmaster's Minute: Passports to Other Lands

When people travel to foreign countries, they have to ask their governments to issue them what's called a passport. A passport is a little booklet with your name and picture in it, along with several blank pages on which foreign border officials stamp the seals of their countries when you enter. You can't go into another country without your passport.

Did you know that every Scout already has a passport? It's not a little booklet, but a small purple patch that we wear on our uniforms, called the World Crest. The World Crest is a symbol of brotherhood and good will the world over. When you wear the World Crest on your Cub Scout uniform, you remind yourself that you are a part of an organization that includes, but also goes far beyond, your own home nation.

The World Crest also reminds us that human beings should be respected and valued regardless of their race, color, creed, or place of origin. You'll still need a paper passport to visit foreign lands, but the World Crest allows Cub Scouts to think of every person as their neighbor and friend.

Closing Ceremony: Cub Scout Chain

Setting: CM asks everyone to stand in a circle and join hands.

CM: A chain is no stronger than its weakest link. The real joy of Cub Scouting comes when complete unity exists among all people. All of us here tonight can make the world a better place by learning more about one another's customs and by showing respect for each other. When we promise to do our best, to do our duty to God and our country, to help other people, and to obey the Scout Law, we are taking any weaker links and making them stronger. Cub Scouting brings us all together and also celebrates what makes us unique. At this time, please join with me as we pass the peace around our chain of Cub Scouting families. (CM starts a gentle hand squeeze that is passed all the way around the circle until it returns to the CM)

CM: Peace be with you all until we meet again.

Cub Grub: Taste the World

Ask each family to bring a dish that is traditional for their family to put out on a tasting table. Encourage them to choose an ethnic dish that reflects their ancestry.

Training Highlight:  World Friendship Fund

Through the World Friendship Fund, voluntary contributions of Scouts and leaders are transformed into cooperative projects that help Scouting associations in other countries to strengthen and extend their Scouting programs. The World Friendship Fund gives the youth members of the Boy Scouts of America an opportunity to help fellow Scouts who are in need of their support. It teaches Scouts that Scouting is global. Since the inception of the World Friendship Fund, American Scouts and leaders have voluntarily donated more than $11 million to these self-help activities.

The World Friendship Fund was developed during the closing days of World War II. At that time, there was a great need to rebuild Scouting in those nations that had been wracked by war and were just emerging from the shadows of totalitarianism.

Over the years, this fund has provided Scouts from around the world with Scouting literature, uniforms, summer camp equipment, computers, and other Scouting-related supplies.

Collections for the World Friendship Fund can be organized during camporees, roundtable meetings, den and pack meetings, summer camping programs, blue and gold banquets, or any other Scout activity.

World Friendship Fund brochures, posters, and labels are available through your local council.  Units that participate will receive a certificate from the International Department.

Patch of the Month

World Scout Crest:  The World Crest is a Scout emblem that has been worn by an estimated 250 million Scouts since the Scouting movement was founded in 1919. It is still worn by 28 million Scouts in 216 countries and territories and is one of the world's best-known symbols.

Scouts and members of the public often ask how the emblem originated. Lord Baden-Powell himself gave the answer: "Our badge we took from the 'North Point' used on maps for orienteering." Lady Baden-Powell said later, "It shows the true way to go." The emblem's symbolism helps to remind Scouts to be as true and reliable as a compass in keeping to their Scouting ideals and showing others the way.

The crest is designed with a center motif encircled by a rope tied with a reef or square knot, which symbolizes the unity and brotherhood of the movement throughout the world. Even as one cannot undo a reef knot no matter how hard one pulls on it, so, as it expands, the movement remains united.

The three tips of the center fleur-de-lis represent the three points of the Scout Promise. In some countries, the two decorative five-pointed stars stand for truth and knowledge.

The crest is white on a royal purple background. These colors are symbolic as well. In heraldry, white represents purity and royal purple denotes leadership and help given to other people.

The World Crest is an emblem of the World Organization of the Scout Movement and is authorized for wear on the uniform of all member associations as a symbol of membership in a world brotherhood. It is authorized by the Boy Scouts of America to be worn by all adult and youth members as a permanent patch centered horizontally over the left pocket and vertically between the left shoulder seam and the top of the pocket.

The BSA donates a small portion of the proceeds from each patch sold to the World Scout Foundation to assist with the development of Scouting's emerging nations.

​Interpreter Strip:  ​

Youth and adults may wear this strip if they show their knowledge of a foreign language or the sign language for the hearing impaired by:

1. Carrying on a five-minute conversation in this language.
2. Translating a two-minute speech or address.
3. Writing a letter in the language (does not apply for sign language).
4. Translating 200 words from the written word.

Morse Code Interpreter Strip

Youth and adults may wear this strip if they show their knowledge of Morse code by:

1. Carrying on a five-minute conversation in Morse code at a speed of at least five words per minute.
2. Copying correctly a two-minute message sent in Morse code at a minimum of five words per minute. Copying means writing the message down as it is received.
3. Sending a 25-word written document in Morse code at a minimum of five words per minute.
