FOCUS Cub Scout 
Roundtable Leaders’ Guide Everyone loves to play games!! This month Cub Scouts and 
their families will have fun playing board games, and solving puzzles and 
mazes.  This is a great opportunity for adults to teach boys the games they used 
to play as youths.  How about making new games?  Boys can share their games with 
others or challenge others with their word searches, jigsaw puzzles, or mazes.  
Have a family game night at your Pack Meeting or at a den meeting.  This month 
would be a good time to work on the Chess Belt Loop and pin. 
CORE VALUES Cub Scout 
Roundtable Leaders’ Guide Some of the purposes of Cub Scouting developed through 
this month’s theme are: 
ü 
Fun and Adventure - Cub Scouts will have fun playing their 
favorite games and learning new ones. 
ü 
Personal Achievement - Boys will feel a sense of personal 
achievement as they master puzzles, mazes, and new games. 
ü 
Sportsmanship and Fitness - Cub Scouts will learn fair play 
and respect for others The core 
value highlighted this month is: 
ü 
Honesty, Cub Scouts will learn the importance of following 
the rules and being honest while playing games. Can you think of others??? Hint – look in your 
Cub Scout Program Helps.  It lists different ones!! All the items on both 
lists are applicable!!  You could probably list all twelve if you thought about 
it!! 
COMMISSIONER’S CORNER Many thanks to my friends at 
Sam Houston, Great Salt Lake and Catalina Councils for sending me their new Pow 
Wow CD's and for Catalina and GSLC - actual paper books!! And to Wendy at Chief Seattle 
Council giving me the link to their on-line Pow Wow Book.  (Find it in the 
website list) 
 
I will be setting up my swap CD soon.   
	
	POW WOW CD’s 
	There were a lot of Pow Wows on my list 
	for early.  I hope some of you can trade CDs this month so I can have some 
	good info for the next Baloo.  Just write me, either
	
	commissionerdave@comcast.net , or via the
	
	www.usscouts.org website or and I will get you mailing info.  One year I 
	received the Alapaha Area Council Book via E-mail.  That works, too.  Thanks 
	to good friends I have the SHAC, Great Salt Lake and Catalina Council books 
	and will soon have National Cap.   
	I can never have too many.  Thanks 
	for your help.
