Themed Months PDF Print E-mail
 

Our Scouts choose their own activities, and they can choose a certain theme for activities during a certain month.  Chosen themes may also present the opportunity for organizations to learn about and support our Scouts.  One of the benefits of choosing themed months is that our Scouts have the time to comprehensively gain knowledge about a particular subject.

 

Below are some examples, though Scouts are always free to choose their own:

 

NFL month:  Scouts can hold football skill camps, arrange visits to local football games, hold intramural flag footballs games, and increase their knowledge of the rules of the sport.youth in footabl helmet

 

Automotive month:  Scouts can learn basic car maintenance, depending upon their age.  North Star Scouts can learn to check the oil and change a tire, while Rising Star Scouts can be acquire basic knowledge such as where the engine is, and the importance of car maintenance.  Scouts can attend auto shows and increase their knowledge of cars.  North Star Scouts can invite car salesman to explain what to look for when buying a car.

 

Personal Finance Month:  Scouts can learn about basic finance, such as why they cannot purchase everything they want, patience when waiting for a sale, and how to stretch their money.  Scouts can learn plenty in the grocery store as well.  If one cereal is $2/ for 6 ounces and another is $1.49 for 8 ounces, they can see the second is the better deal and become more responsible consumers.
