N-A-T-U-R-E (again!)

MATERIALS: 6 Cub Scouts 6 pieces of paper with the letters spelling NATURE printed in them.  Each Cub Scout holds up his letter and reads his lines (glue to back of letter card).  You can have the boys prepare these cards with pictures or fancy lettering.


N- Stands for your NAME; be proud of it. As you advance from Bobcat to Arrow of Light, you will add new honors to your name. Everything you do affects your good name and your family.


A- Is for ATTITUDE. Attitude affects your spirit. Cub Scouts know that, just as sunshine is essential for life, being cheerful and playing fair help a den grow and make scouting fun.


T- Is for TASK. Each Cub Scout works hard at each job.


U- Is for USEFULNESS. Your place in life depends on learning a lot and then using what you learn.


R- Means you're READY. Just as squirrels gather food for the future, so Cub Scouts work hard and advance getting ready to be Boy Scouts.


E- Stands for ENERGY. As the bee is always busy, Cub Scouts keep active giving goodwill.


NATURE - God's way of telling us He cares. Let us always be grateful for His gifts and His guidance.
