The January 2010 Cub Scout Monthly Theme is “Power Up!”
Here is the official BSA theme description:
“Boys explore the science of energy through solar, electrical, and wind power and how this energy is used in their everyday lives. They can explore different ways to conserve energy and protect the world we live in. Work on the Science or Weather belt loop and pin.
Boys can invite friends to join in the pinewood derby and discover the power behind those little cars.
What types of things are powered up by the flip of a switch? A field trip to the local water works or power plant might be part of the den’s monthly plan.
Finish up the month with a real power-packed pack meeting. The boys can power up by being physically fit and working on the Physical Fitness belt loop and pin.” [Bold added]

The December 2009 Cub Scout Monthly Theme is “Works of Art.”
Here is the official BSA theme description:
“December is a time of celebration and giving. This is a perfect month for involving friends in doing good deeds and creating holiday magic through art.
Cub Scouts use their artistic abilities to create holiday decorations, gifts, or cards. This artwork might be put on display in nursing homes, in churches, schools, or homes, and at the pack meeting or at a meeting of the chartered organization.
Boys can make cards and ornaments and share them with residents of a local nursing or retirement home, children’s hospital, or community center and do a “Good Turn for America.”
Boys can discover different forms of art, write poems, attend a musical or performing art show, or visit a local art museum. Works of art can become gifts for family members.
The Academic belt loop or pin in Art or Music could be worked on in conjunction with these projects.” [Bold added]
