Annual Plan for Combined Wolf & Bear

In our pack we have combined the 8 and 9-year old boys together in one den. Because of this we have re-worked our calendar so we are doing similar things at the same time. Sometimes everybody does everything, and other times we split the boys to opposite sides of the room with one leader helping each group.

Here is the calendar we are using. Combined Wolf & Bear Annual Planning Calendar

Cub Scouts and Food

Cub Scouts love to eat. This month we had the nine year old boys each take a week to bring a snack they had made. We talked about junk food and the food pyramid-which is now called the food plate. The boys made no-bake cookies. We cooked an outdoor meal. (Hot Dogs and S'mores, along with chips and a veggie platter). Here's an easy way to make s'mores: use the fudge covered graham crackers and skip the chocolate bar. Also I recently saw them made by topping the marshmallow with a chocolate kiss candy. The cooking requirements need lots of things to be done with their families; so I typed up a list the the requirements and told the parents which ones were being done in den meeting and which ones needed to be done at home.

This is a good month to have the boys do the Faith in God requirement that asks them to help plan, prepare, and serve a meal.
