Activity Day

Raking leaves is a fun service project for girls to do in the fall. Review the story of the Good Samaritan with them and have them help plan out who in your neighborhood might need help raking their leaves. This will complete one of their Faith in God requirements.

Girls love crafts, so find a fun and easy Halloween craft to make. Or you could make a fun holiday treat with them for them to take home and share with their families. There are also lots of fun Halloween games.

Cub Scouts

For October den meetings, we learned about safety (Be Ready requirements for bear age boys). Here is a link for a fun game to help the boys review and remember what they have learned.

October is the perfect month to have the boys plan a leaf raking service project for the Faith in God. We review the story of the Good Samaritan and then plan out who in the neighborhood could use help having their leaves raked next week. We call it a 'Rake and Run'. The boys try to sneak into someone's yard and rake up leaves without getting caught. Sometimes if it is our turn to do a skit in pack meeting, we have the boys act out the Good Samaritan story.

It is fun to do a Halloween craft or game this month. A favorite is the Mr. Bones game. We hide skeleton pieces for the boys to find and assemble. I found it on the Family Fun website, and it includes the skeleton template to print and cut out the pieces you need.
