The September 2009 Cub Scout Monthly Theme is “Cub Scout Pockets.”

Here is the official BSA theme description:

“What can possibly be in a Cub Scout’s pocket? What is in a boy’s pocket can tell a lot about who he is and what he likes. The boys can share and show off their collections and maybe even start a new one! Put some marbles in the boy’s pockets and teach him how to play the game of marbles.

Pick an interest of the boys and go on a field trip to explore and learn about it. Maybe a trip to a rock quarry in search of fossils, or a nature hike around the den meeting site to pick up items.

This is also a great month to educate the boys on what can go on their uniform and then make some goals to accomplish their rank advancement, special awards, belt loops and pins, and involvement in camps and council events.

This might be a good month to work on the Collecting or Marbles belt loop and pin.”  [Bold added]
