Activity Ideas, Month by Month

Posted on Jan 18 2025 - 10:15am

Our Activity Ideas, Month by Month page has suggestions for fun things you might do.  February highlights from that page include:

  • Celebrate Scouting's Birthday, through a Scout Sunday or Scout Sabbath observance and/or some other fun event or, maybe, a service project for your Chartered Organization or community ... and what better way to celebrate Scouting than Service, like Scouting for Food Service Project, which can now be done at any time. 
  • There is an Atlanta Area Council Cub Scout Stem Day on February 1.
  • Maybe a Pack Pinewood Derby? 
  • OK, you might be thinking "Where is the Blue & Gold Banquet? -- isn't that required to be in February?"  Nope. Doesn't have to be, though it often is -- if that suits your Pack.  Some Packs have more fun if (1) more Scouts have finished their "Rank Badge" and get recognized at the Banquet, and (2) Den Leaders don't have to RushRushRush to get done by February.  So feel free to: Keep It Simple, Make It Fun – do your Banquet when Ranks are Done!!  
  • Or go somewhere on the Great Big List of Places to Go and Things to Do ... find something your families like.
