Monthly Themes?

[daspencer 10]

Is anyone still incorporating the monthly themes as well as the Core Values? I just wondered if anyone was planning on continuing with the ones that were already established for this year. We started with the Cub Scout Investigators for this month, but now I'm running short on ideas!

We just switched to the Character Connections. There is not a lot, but when you have Baloos Bugle and the stuff National puts out there is plenty to get your meeting together.

I knew the Baloo had switched over. We always incorporate a Character Connection into our lesson anyways. I just wanted to continue with the themes so the Scouts would have a full year of Cub head badges (I dunno what the official name is, sorry).

BSA has replaced the Cub Scout themes with Character Connections as of the 2010 program year. That isn't to say that you can't use them, just there will be no more publishings with the old ones.
