Hi! I was wondering why the cub scout theme for the next 3 years are the same?

Lynn - The BSA has gone to a cycle of themes for Cub Scouts that rotate each year like the Webelos and Boy Scouts.

I'm new to Cubscouts and trying to plan our new school year coming up. Do I have to follow the 2012-2013 themes or can I chose from another year and/or just switch them around? Thanks!

Mary - You can make any schedule you'd like. The themes are just aids in case you want to use them.

This site is fantastic! As I scroll and click I'm finding more and more useful information. Great Job!

Upon review it looks like the monthly theme information is for the adults. Are there requirements that the cubs can do to earn the patch?

Aug 20, 2012 - Scouter Paul

Raquel - there is no monthly patch for Cub Scouts to earn. You can go to ScoutStuff.org and purchase whatever Cub Scout monthly theme emblems you'd like, but there are no set requirements for earning them.

Will the 2013 cub scout extra idea be the same? I know the themes are the same...honesty, respect, etc.
Will "they" be coming out with new ideas like cub cafe, jungle of fun, etc?

Whitney - I believe the Den & Pack Meeting Resource Guide is the expected resource for den leaders and no individual ideas will be created.

Whitney another great website for ideas is Baloo's Bugle. I live here and there getting information all of the time.

The Core Values are the same for each month, but the themes should change every year. I'm looking for the themes for the 2012-2013 year.

Oct 17, 2012 - Scouter Paul

Kristy - The core value themes are listed as well as the supplemental pack meeting themes. See scouting.org/filestore/training/pdf/511-410_WB.pdf for more resources.
