Activities we offer, plus the values and skills we provide, are aimed at supporting your efforts to teach your child what is needed to become a well-rounded person. Your personal involvement is important to help reinforce the lessons your Cub learns. Here are some suggestions to help you become involved: Sit down with your child and look through the Cub book together. What activities do you find interesting or appealing? How could you work on these activities as a family? Find out what activities leaders plan to run in your child's pack. Most leaders set aside time at the first meeting to ask Cubs what they would like to do. They draw up program plans from the children's input. Get to know leaders by their real names. Too often parents only know leaders by their "jungle" names. Leaders are truly interested in your child's welfare. Tell them what your child likes to do. This will help them plan fun activities. If your Cub is interested in working on an activity outside of the meeting, or you want to make it a family project, talk over your plans with the leaders. They can provide useful tips and tell you how well it fits into the weekly programs. Your talents, hobbies and interests are great program assets worth sharing with children. Find out how you can become a resource for the pack's programs. This will let you spend valuable time with your child and share experience. Cubs really enjoy showing off for an adult family member who attends a meeting. This sense of pride helps strengthen adult-child relations. When your child joins Cubs, you become part of the pack's support team. Become a leader. Scouts Canada offers up-to-date training and resource materials. Leadership is fun and exciting. You will be with your Cub during a special time and see him (or her) develop and grow before your eyes. As well, the friendship and camaraderie you'll share with other parents can lead to long-lasting relationships and memories. _________________ Scouter Rob 1st Stittsville Alpha Troop Tue Jul 07, 2009 9:17 pm Display posts from previous:  All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year  Oldest FirstNewest First         Stittsville Scout Group Forum Index » Parent Information All times are GMT - 5 Hours Page 1 of 1   Jump to:  Select a forum Scout Talk----------------News-- Group NewsEvents-- Event Activities-- Event ReportsParent InformationScouting Resources-- Scouting & How-To Information-- Knots, Knots, and more KnotsTrainingARCHIVES Fun for All----------------Songs-- Gross and Fun Songs-- Mellow Slow Songs-- Songs for Grace-- Action Songs-- Seasonal SongsSkits-- Easy Skits-- Intermediate Level Skits-- Fully Involved SkitsCheers & Chants-- Chants-- Announcements...-- CheersGames-- Wide Spread Out, Lots of Room Games-- Water Games-- Quick and Easy Games-- Team Games-- Obstacle Course Games-- Memory Games-- Fun or Steam Off Games-- Strategy Games-- Races & Relays-- Outdoor Games-- Nature Hunts-- Indoor Games-- Flashlight GamesCrafts-- Easy Crafts-- Intermediate Level Crafts-- Fully Involved CraftsExperiments-- Easy Experiments-- Intermediate Level Experiments-- Fully Involved ExperimentsCool Snacks-- Campfire Snacks-- Hiking Snacks Leaders----------------Leader Resources-- General Information-- Event Planning-- Group Meeting Minutes-- Scouting Location Info-- Program Sharing Ideas-- Leader Pocket Pieces-- Woodbadge1 Program Resources Beavers----------------Beaver Resources-- Colony Jump Start Programs-- GAMSOCS - GAMES-- GAMSOCS - PLAY ACTING-- GAMSOCS - MUSIC-- GAMSOCS - STORY TELLING-- GAMSOCS - OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES-- GAMSOCS - CRAFTS-- GAMSOCS - SPIRITUALITY-- COLONY WB1 TRAINING MATERIAL Cubs----------------Cub Resources-- Pack Jumpstart ProgramsWolf Cub Badges-- Black Star-- Blue Star-- Green Star-- Tawny Star-- Red Star-- Purple Star-- Specialty Badges Scouts----------------Scout Resources-- Chief Scout Voyageur-- Chief Scout Pathfinder-- Chief Scout Outdoor Activities-- Chief Scout Background Material-- Troop Jumpstart Programs-- Year Round Camper-- City of Ottawa Camp Programs-- Magic In Campfires Venturers----------------Venturer Resources You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum You cannot attach files in this forum You can download files in this forum Powered by phpBB © 2001, 2005 phpBB Group Design by Freestyle XL / Flowers Online.
