The October 2008 Cubcast from BSA National is available (free). It has ideas for den meetings and more utilizing the November “Seeds of Kindness” theme.
It also has suggestions on improving your pack’s popcorn sales.
And the program has an interesting training note. It says that BSA National is planning to replace New Leader Essentials with an online training module called “This is Scouting”. They hope to have that in place by the end of the year.

The November 2008 Cub Scout Monthly Theme is “Seeds of Kindness.”
Here is the official BSA theme description:
“As we approach Thanksgiving, let us spread seeds of kindness in the form of multiple small service projects. Helping others gives the boys the opportunity to see the bounty produced by spreading many small seeds of kindness and encourages compassion. The boys can discover that just as the large strong oak tree came from the small acorn, big things can happen from spreading small seeds of kindness and charity.
Conduct a food drive or collect coats and gloves for those in need; report your hours to Good Turn for America.
Work on the Citizenship belt loop and pin.” [bold added]
