Welcome, Scout families! We’re thrilled to partner with you in continuing the journey of character-building and leadership development beyond pack meetings. Below are fun, family-friendly activities to reinforce the values your Scout is learning through their adventures. Let’s keep the Scouting spirit alive at home!
Family Talks about Scouting Values
Make family time even more meaningful by exploring the Scout Oath and Law together! Encourage your Scout to share ways they’re using these values every day—whether it’s helping a friend, showing kindness, or keeping their word.
For a fun and engaging overview, check out this Scout Oath and Law video on YouTube! Watch it as a family and discuss each part of the Oath and Law to see how these values can guide everyone’s actions at home and in the community.
Pitch In on Family Projects
Make a difference together by taking on small family projects that give back to your community. Ideas could include picking up litter at your local park, organizing an act of kindness for a neighbor, or volunteering for a cause meaningful to your family.
Need more inspiration? Check out the Scouting.org Activities Page for family-friendly service project ideas that are sure to bring everyone closer together while strengthening your Scout’s sense of community.
Leadership at Home
Bring leadership skills home with a fun “home adventure”! Give your Scout a chance to lead by assigning them small responsibilities, like helping plan a family meal, organizing a game night, or even setting up a camping trip in the backyard. These tasks encourage your Scout to take charge, make decisions, and experience the joy of leading others.
Discover more leadership ideas on the Cub Scout Adventures Page, where you’ll find activities that nurture these skills in engaging, age-appropriate ways.
Encourage your Scout to continue living the Scouting values every day. Together, let’s build character, strengthen leadership, and make memories that last a lifetime!
