Cub Scout Program Even More Exciting!
Where does the fun in Scouting start? At camp, doing
community service, playing cool games, or maybe learning how to track an
animal. Yes, it is surely all there but where it really starts is in the
Family. Scouting is about family and Cub Scouting is where family and
excitement come together. To help keep the "magic of Scouting" even more
exciting the Cub Scout program has developed a new approach for delivering
the Cub Scout Program. The program itself has not change but the approach in
delivering the program will be more exciting for the boys, meeting plans are
geared to fun and learning, and the pack will be able to have a common plan
that will in turn keep the boys interested and having fun. It is an exciting
time for the boys and as leaders, there are more tools that will help make
learning fun!
The Scout Shop has the new copy of The Den and Pack
Resource Guide available. To lean more about the program and the exciting
fun go to your Roundtables and District Committee meeting or contact the
Council Training Chairman. Fun for the boys, fun for the leaders, and fun
for the parents is just a few strokes away. Learn all about it with the link

The Significance and use of the 2009 - 2013 Strategic Plan
This Strategic Plan will guide the Council Executive Board, all volunteer
Scouters with the Council and all active supporters of the Scouting movement in
the Council for the next five years. The plan provides the monthly reporting
base for the Executive Board Vice-Presidents and should serve to measure our
success in achieving these goals.
Strategic Plan Acknowledgements
This plan was developed by the Rocky Mountain Council Board
Vice-Presidents and many District and Council volunteers. We wish to acknowledge
their efforts for which the Council owes a debt of gratitude. Thanks to you all!
