Scouting is a well-rounded program positively affecting every area of a boy’s life. Scouting encourages boys to achieve a deeper appreciation of others, including peers, parents and other adults. Early in their Scouting experience, boys learn the value of serving others. Scouting provides boys with a sense that they are important individuals. They learn that their Scouting family cares about what happens to them. Scouting activities and award programs teach personal responsibility and self-confidence. As a result, when hard decisions have to be made, a boy can look at himself in the mirror and be proud. Scouting involves a safe environment with positive role models. Parents, your son will learn confidence, belonging, quality family time, leadership and social skills, moral and ethical choices, teamwork, citizenship and fun. SCOUTING’S PROGRAMS Cub Scouts A year-round, family-friendly program designed for boys who are first through fifth grade (ages 7-10). Activities are used to achieve the aims of Scouting- citizenship training, character development and personal fitness. Boy Scouts Designed for boys ages 11-18, Boy Scouts learn responsible citizenship, character development and self-reliance through participation in a wide range of outdoor activities and educational programs. Venturing A program for young men and women between the ages of 14 and 20. Its purpose is to provide positive experiences to help youth mature and prepare them to become responsible adults. Exploring A career-learning program for young men and women between the ages of 14 and 20. Exploring units, called “posts”, usually have a focus on a single career field, such as police, fire/rescue, health, law, aviation or engineering. Reaching for Tomorrow In partnership with the Girl Scouts, Reaching for Tomorrow develops the potential of youth by providing grade-specific, character education and basic skills for special needs students in the classroom. It includes curriculum created by national educators and psychologists and is taught by certified instructors. 2 | New Family Orientation Guide HOW DOES CUB SCOUTING WORK? The Cub Scout program is designed to involve your son in a group of boys his own age where he can earn status and recognition. There he will also gain a sense of personal achievement from the new skills he learns. Tiger Cubs Bear Boys in First Grade or 7 Years Old Boys in Third Grade or 9 Years Old Wolf Webelos Boys in Second Grade or 8 Years Old Boys in Fourth & Fifth Grade or 10 Years Old Your Boy is a Member of a Den... • A den is made up of no more than eight boys who are the same age and/or grade. • The den meets two to three times a month. One of the den meetings each month is a “Go See It” or field trip. • The den has a den leader, but the den leader shares the planning of the den meetings with the parents. Your Boy is a Member of a Pack... • A pack consists of several dens and meets once a month. • The Cubmaster leads the monthly pack meeting, but each den will have a part in the pack meeting. • Some months, the pack meeting will have special themes such as Pinewood Derby, Blue & Gold Banquet or guest speakers. Other months may be devoted to recognizing the Scouts for the projects they have completed by the presentation of beads, belt loops, activity pins or rank advancements. Cub Scout Motto: Do Your Best Doing your best is one of the most important things Cub Scouts learn. When boys compare themselves to other people, they can become complacent (if they’re high achievers) or discouraged (if they have to work harder to accomplish the same goals). Focusing on doing their personal best helps them feel good about themselves and see their potential for doing even better. This helps boys see that no one can find fault with them if they always do their best. Cub Scout Advancement Plan In Scouting, advancement is the process by which a member meets certain requirements and earns recognition. The Cub Scout advancement program is a blend of activities boys do in their homes and activities they do in a den meeting setting. As requirements are completed, boys are awarded recognition items to mark their progress. Regardless of grade, all boys who join Cub Scouts start by earning the Bobcat badge. After receiving the Bobcat badge, a boy works on the requirements based on his grade level. www.crossroadsbsa.org | 3 CAMPING OPPORTUNITIES Crossroads of America Council Camp Properties Crossroads of America Council is very proud of its facilities.

Scouting for Food This annual food drive is held to benefit local food pantries.

As boys get older, their participation in service projects prepares them to plan and organize their own projects.

There are different versions of the magazine based on the age of the Scout.

The Baden-Powell Service Association (BPSA-US) was formed in 2006 as an independent and traditional-style Scouting Association. It perpetuates the principles and practices of Scouting laid down by Robert Baden-Powell in 1907 that had been developed and refined in Boy Scout associations around the world for over a century. These principles are so fundamentally sound and the practices so adaptable that Traditional Scouting goes on developing and can never be dated or unsuited to any community. Our aim is to promote good citizenship and wholesome physical, mental and moral development; and provide training in habits of observation, discipline, self-reliance, loyalty, and useful skills. The BPSA is totally independent of, and not affiliated with, either the Boy Scouts of America or the Girls Scouts of the USA.

INTRODUCTION We all know that whether we hold our Scouts depends to some extent (probably to a large extent) on the quality of our Troop Meetings. If they’re dull, uninspired, unimaginative, always the same, the boys become bored and drift off sooner or later (and all too often sooner) to one or more of the many other interests that lie awaiting them. We offer you this little book of ideas in the hope that it will help you with your Troop Meetings.
