BSA is continuing to add theme based Pack meeting plans to the Core Value Pack Meeting plans on their web site. The goal is to have three supplemental Pack Meeting plans for each month. These theme based Pack Meeting plans are specifically crafted to bring out important points of the Core Value in a fun way. However, you should remember that the focus is still on the Core Values and that these themes are just there as enhancements and not as a substitute.
