Hoop-De-Doo! – Official Theme Description

May 8, 2010 3:37 pm

The June 2010 Cub Scout Monthly Theme is Hoop-De-Doo!

Here is the official BSA theme description:

“This is a good time to learn and play the game of basketball while you learn about sportsmanship. Have a member of the high school basketball team (preferably a Boy Scout) teach the boys the rules of basketball; then play a game in the pack with older boys and younger boys balancing each team.

Play other games such as ring toss, hoop games, soap bubble contests, and hoop obstacle course.

Start working on the National Summertime Pack Award or Cub Scout Outdoor Activity Award.

The boys will be able to earn the Basketball belt loop and pin or another Sports belt loop and pin of their choice, including the Physical Fitness belt loop and pin.” [Bold added]
