Cub Program

The Cub Scout Program is well supported through many extremely high quality materials published by Alpine District, Chief Seattle Council, National, and by other sources.  Several of these are contained in each month's Program updates.  The best way to get these materials as early as possible is to attend Alpine Roundtable.   

 
March 2010 Cub Program - Take Flight! PDF Print E-mail

The Wright brothers had a lot of courage to accomplish their dream to fly. Air has power to push and pull objects so that they can fly. This month learn all about air, what it consists of, and why it is needed to fly. Learn about gravity. Make your own flying machines as you hear about the Wright Brothers and their invention. Explore different types of paper airplanes. Figure out which ones fly farther, higher, faster, longer, and why? Hold a pack-wide paper plane derby fun night! How many things can you name that can fly? Study birds and their flyways. Why do some fly in a V formation? Take flight outdoors with a den or pack kite derby this month and enjoy that air! Take a field trip to the airport, hobby shop, or a science museum. Earn the Science belt loop and pin.

Character Connections: Honesty & Faith

Roundtable Resources: Copies of the "Yodeler" and "Chief Seattle Council Cub Scout Roundtable" guides are both made available to all participants attending the previous month's Roundtable.  If you would like to get this information earlier than it is posted here on the District Web Site, then please join us at the next Alpine Roundtable.
