Hello, summer! We\u2019ve been expecting you \u2014 and especially your long days, warm weather and break from school.<\/p>\n
Most Cub Scout packs slow down in the summer. Dens don\u2019t meet, advancement pauses and packs schedule outdoor activities instead of traditional monthly meetings.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s a great chance for volunteers to take a break from the routine and enjoy time with their family.<\/p>\n
But Cub Scouting doesn\u2019t have to take a total pause for the summer. Many successful packs plan ways to get together with the only real purpose being to have fun. They might have a barbecue in a local park, visit the zoo, attend a baseball game or play at the beach.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe goal is to provide an opportunity for the families to get together, to see one another, to create some memories and enjoy themselves,\u201d to quote from the latest issue of the Advancement News<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n Summer officially begins on June 20, which makes now the perfect time to start finalizing your pack\u2019s summer plans.<\/p>\n \u201cSometimes the reward is not the belt loop or the pin,\u201d Advancement News<\/em> writes. \u201cThe reward is seeing friends, being silly, just having a good time.\u201d<\/p>\n
