The Pilgrims left England because of religious prosecution. On Sept. 6, 1620 the Pilgrims set sail on a ship called the Mayflower. The Pilgrims decided to settle at Plymouth. The first winter was devastating; only 50 of the 110 Pilgrims and crew who left England survived the first winter.
In 1621, a group of Abnaki Indians came to Plymouth and taught the Pilgrims how to survive in the new land. The harvest was very successful and the Pilgrims wanted to celebrate. Pilgrim Governor William Bradford proclaimed a day of thanksgiving. This custom is now celebrated annually as Thanksgiving Day.

We are similar to the Pilgrims when we try something new. Maybe we do not do it correctly and we need some guidance from someone who has more experience. Our parents and leaders are like the Abnaki Indians. They have more experience and can help us to be successful. Tonight, we would like to thank some of our special leaders. . . . .
Thank you!

Cub Scouts Give Thanks - November Theme - LDS Religious Square Knot info - LDS Activity Days - Writing a Thank You note


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!
