November is the time to talk about citizenship requirements. We have the boys memorize the 12th Article of Faith. When we take time to discuss with the boys what it means to be a good citizen and how their actions can affect others, they complete one of the Faith in God requirements that they need for their religious knot award.
We also work on the flag requirements for the wolf age boys and the bear requirement about what makes America special.
Our boys always have fun playing a game called 'I've seen a flag'. The first says I've seen a flag at ____. The second boy says I've seen a flag at _____, and ______(he gives a new location first and then repeats the first boys location). Continue around the circle until the last boy add his own location and then repeats all the locations given earlier. Sometimes the boys like to go around the circle an extra time. It is always OK for them to help each other out when they have trouble remembering.
