IT'S ONLY ONE HOUR A WEEK

Sometimes Cub Scout leaders joke about how we were told that being a Den Leader or a Cubmaster takes only one hour a week. We all know that to do the job properly it takes considerably longer.
However, a lot can be accomplished in an hour every week. For example:

Would you spend one hour a week with your son?

If you do, think of what you can accomplish by spending that hour a week on him? During those 52 hours in the next year, you can:

Attend 12 pack meetings or activities with him, andHelp him through 12 achievements in his Wolf or Bear Book, orHelp him through the 5 Family and 5 Go See It Tiger requirements andHelp him earn 1 Gold Arrow Point and 10 Silver Arrow Points.

At your next Pack Meeting, ask the parentsif their son is worth one hour of their time each week?

Q.  I'm a parent of a Scout, was in Tiger Cubs last year.
  Can someone explain the conduct candle?

A conduct candleis generally used in conjunction with a treat. You start off by saying that when the candle burns down to a certain point that all boys will participate in a pizza party or special field trip/treat. The candle is lit at the start of the meeting & stays lit till the closing or when someone in the den misbehaves the candle is blown out. Usually the boy who misbehaves blows it out, this is an incentive for the boys to behave.
