Weather Cub Scout Theme

Watching the weather can be a fun way to spend some time with your Scouts. Lie on the ground and imagine what shapes you see in passing clouds. If you spark an interest, there are weather related awards they can earn. So try incorporating some weather themed activities into your pack meetings or den meetings.

A few ideas for this theme are listed below, and more will gradually be added. Organize a pack meeting or den meeting around them. Or plan an overall theme for your Cub Scout year and add an element or two from the theme into your program each month.
