The bullying part is confusing me?

A Scout was being bullied because there was no structured activity so they were just picking on another guy out of boredom?

I guess it doesn't matter, I just was confused as to why a gathering activity would curb the bullying or how the two were interrelated.  Maybe they weren't and I'm just not reading your post right. :)

Cornhole: I had to look it up.  (Seriously. I had no clue what it was!)  Who knew there were so many rules to a bean bag toss! http://www.playcornhole.org/rules.shtml :D

As for the card games for Webelos, I used similar gathering activities for my Webelos, where I'd have the Law written on popcicle sticks (one set of 12 sticks per each Scout) and I'd take the sticks and drop them in a pile in the middle of my floor.  While I got stuff setup, the boys would have to pick up all the sticks and put together a full "set" each – which meant not only taking care of their own set, but helping their brother scouts put together their sets.  As they got better at recognizing them, then they had to put their set together AND in the right order.  Then later, I'd make it even more challenging by throwing in *not related* random words.  (Words like "Nice" or "Happy" or "Funny" or "Creative" or whatever.) 

There are tons of team building games/activities that work well before a pack meeting and these speak loudly to the bullying problem, since it pushes Scouts to work together.  (I steal them from church youth group sites and 4H – for example: http://4h.uwex.edu/clubs/docum…..G0231.pdf) – some of the business related team building stuff works, but some is too complex.  At pack meetings I sometimes pit parents vs. youth, too, if I'm having a hard time getting parents involved or if I'm concerned about the boys needing extra eyes on them.

A favorite of mine (re: parents vs. youth) is actually a song/Simon Says type game and it works wonders for occupying both old and young.  I sorta made it up from the "Robot Parade" song by They Might Be Giants http://youtu.be/9IwrYItEKpo 

Line the kids up on one side facing the parents lined up on the other side, then everyone sings:

"Robot parade, robot parade, robots obey what the children say!"

Then the first kiddo in line will give a command then all the adults must do so – *as if they were robots.  Then we sing the line from the song again and the next kiddo goes.  We go until everyone's had a chance or until it's time to move on to the next activity.  Once they figure out how to play I can get bow out and other people can jump in as people show up.

* I throw this in for fun/theme, but also so that when the kids get REALLY outrageous ("DO a triple backflip!") the parents can just act like broken robots instead of having to fulfill the (often impossible) command.  It makes sure the parents don't just stand there refusing to participate plus it's funny as all get out to see parents dance like ballerinas while acting like robots. *evil wicked grin*

Gathering activities are so important.  As mentioned, they can help bolster attendance but also help encourage parents/kids to show up on time.  It feels like parents push to the last possible minute to show up to stuff, so if the meeting doesn't start til 6 then parents will show up at 5:58.  If it "starts" before it starts, they're more likely to show up "on time".
