Theme: Fun in the Sun

The August 2009 Cub Scout Monthly Theme is “Fun in the Sun.”
Here is the official BSA theme description:
“Let’s go outside and have fun in the sun. Plan some outdoor activities this month that will encourage dens to meet and make preparations together for your pack event.
It’s a great time for a pack picnic, with each den planning a game or activity. Have a Cubanapolis derby with dens preparing their vehicle and practicing maneuvers during den meetings. Stress good sportsmanship and team building during the planning stages, as well as during the actual event.
Create kites in your dens and have a kite flying derby or a family picnic to show off your creations!
This might be a great month to work on the Cub Scout Outdoor Activity Award or a Cub Scout Sports belt loop or pin.” [Bold added]
