Looking Back, Looking Forward

This one turned out a lot differently than I originally thought it would, but it was still pretty good. We did this one in February so we'd have a special display and presentation for the Blue and Gold Banquet.

We started by talking about the history of Scouting. As part of that, we watched the first segment of the Century of Honor. (THIS segment) I'm not sure that link worked. If you're interested, click on the "Century of Honor" link above and click on the "The Start of a Movement" link. You can download or view it from there. We also watched the "A Brief History of Cub Scouting."

We talked about all the things that are mentioned in the book--what's the same, what's changed, etc.

They did a page about their own Scouting Story, and of course the Scouting in the future.

For the timeline requirement, we did this all together, instead of each of them choosing their own two topics. We did food and toys. It worked out pretty well! I did some research ahead of time so everything was ready. I found the food and toys for 100, 50, 20, and 5 years ago. We had samples for all possible (so they could taste the food and see/try the toys, when possible), but the funnest part was we found original commercials for as many of them as possible on YouTube to show them. Talk about a journey to the past! It was a blast. They decided themselves what they wanted for the "Now" category, and then brainstormed the future.
