Cub Scouts Give Thanks - November Theme

Thanks to Mary Halvorson for donating this idea. She is a Webelos Den Leader from Pack 68 of the Hobble Creek District, Utah National Parks Council.  

One of the requirements in the LDS Faith in God booklet that counts towards the BSA Religious Square Knot reads: "Write a letter to a teacher, your parents, or your grandparents telling them what you appreciate and respect about them." If you want to take this a step further by teaching boys how to address an envelope it's an experience you won't forget. Do they know their own address for a return address? Do they know where to write both the mailing address and the return address? Do they know where the stamp goes? Do they know their city and state? The first time I did this I thought it was a no brainer but truly the first experience for most of them. It will take longer than you think but the recipient will have a wonderful surprise!

Cub Scout Religious Square Knot Faith in God PRINTABLE Tracking Work Sheet Primary

Although the picture shows the quarterly activity as being a requirement for the religious square knot, the actual PDF has been updated and lists the 12th article of faith as the requirement for the religious square knot.

If anyone has any other tracking sheets for the Religious Square Knot for any other religions, I'd be happy to post it on this site also  Click here to contact me.  I just happen to have this one, so I am posting it now.  This is a tracker for the Faith in God program for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.  The requirements in red are the requirements that need to be done to earn the religious square knot.  I have also done a tracking sheet for girls (below) if you need that one.

FOR BOYS 

FOR GIRLS 

I like to add the date in between the square you check off & the wording so I know when they completed it.  I always print this tracking sheet on cardstock, and I print one for each boy to be kept in my leader binder next to their tracking sheet for Belt Loops, and Age Group (wolf, bear, or webelos).  I keep a different tab in my binder for every boy.  Behind each tab, I keep all 3 tracking sheets (Age Group, Belt Loop, Religious Award).  Then I have complete information on each boy and it is quick and easy to find.  It helps to do it this way if you do one requirement one week and a different one other weeks.  Not every boy is there every week.  By doing this, I can always know where each boy is at, and it is all in one place.  I keep a roll, and next to the roll I write down what we did that week, and then every couple of weeks I update all the tracking sheets for every boy.  If the parents ever have questions, I always have a place to look back at on the roll, and I can always copy each tracking sheet to show them where their boy is.
