FOCUS

Cub Scout Roundtable Leaders’ Guide

Dive right in as Cub Scouts spend a month enjoying water activities and learning about water creatures and water conservation.  It is a perfect time to learn about safety rules in and around water.  This month's pack activity might be a safety carnival, an outdoor raingutter regatta, or a pack beach party.  This is an ideal opportunity for the boys to work on the Swimming or Fishing belt loops and pins.
