As a Cub Scout Leader, I try to plan outings for my boys about once a month. Some months this is hard because of testing schedules, holidays, other school events, etc., but for the most part, the goal was accomplished.
Here is a list of the outings we did. Some of these were done in place of the regular den meeting, and others were done on weekends.
Clean up at a local state park
Bowling
Geology program and planetarium show at a state museum
Packaging holiday gifts to send to the troops serving overseas
Overnight trip to a local museum
Cub Scout Camp day program
Cub Scout Camp overnight program
Trip to a nature center for a pond study
Home Depot kids building program
Last summer, I made a list of everything local and semi local that would be able to accommodate our group, and accomplish an aspect of scouting for the boys. Everything we did came right from that list, and really enhanced our program. Several of the trips didn't cost us any money, and the others were just a few dollars per scout.
This year I am planning a visit to a radio station, police station or fire house, horseback riding, another park clean up and packaging gifts for soliders, and some more museum visits.
What types of outings are popular in your pack? Do you find that it's easy to find places that offer a good enhancement to your program?
Until next time,
CubMom
