Pack Meeting: October 28, 2008

This month's pack meeting we tried to follow our monthly theme of Adventure in Books. Caden Van told us a terrific story that he had written at one of our den meetings. We had a fun presentation of awards in a Whodunit? mystery book for our three Wolf's; Joseph Black, Ryan Lake and Caden Van, who received their wolf recognition awards as well as some arrowhead awards. They will also be advancing to the Bear den within the next month on their birthdays. They will certainly be missed in the Wolf den. Also awarded was Braeden Gooch who received his citizenship award. Congratulations to Joseph, Ryan, Caden and Braeden.

Caden Van, Ryan Lake and Joseph Black

The Webeloes gave a wonderful skit with Peanuts the elephant. What a talented animal, so well behaved, almost.

We also had a great time sitting around a camp fire and listening to ghost stories from Arlen Nelson. I'm pretty sure I saw the cub scouts jump a few times during the stories.

Congratulations as well to Kanon Black who received his arrow if light award. What a special presentation of the award by Pat Graham, dressed as a knight. Have fun Kanon on your new adventures as a scout.







Thank you to everyone who came and to those who participated in a fun pack meeting.

Wolf's book safes and stories

Wolf Den Meeting: October 21, 2008

We completed our book safes this week and they look great. The scouts did a great job throughout the whole project. We will be showing them at our pack meeting next week so everyone can see what we have been up to. Pack meeting should be really fun, there are some great activities planned.

We have had so much fun with this months theme of Adventure in Books, I hope that the scouts will continue to read and expand their imaginations through books. I look forward to next months theme, Seeds of Kindness.

Wolf Den Meeting: October 14, 2008

It is fun to see the kind of things the wolf scouts can come up with. At the beginning of our most recent den meeting, I had the scouts write a short story to go along with our Adventure in Books theme for the month. It was great to see how some of them really got into their stories and the creativity that they have. After we read their stories we quickly got started on our next project.

We are working on a three part project. Last week the scouts made illuminated letters with the first letter of their first names. This week, we made book covers for our book safes and placed the illuminated letters on our covers. Next week, we will complete our project and finish the inside of our book safes.

The scouts seem to be having fun with these projects and it is so great to see the individual creativity in every one.

Wolf Den Meeting: October 7, 2008

This was my first den meeting as the new leader of the wolf den. It was great to meet the boys and to start to get to know them. As a new leader, I wanted to establish some rules. With help from the boys, we created our Code of Conduct. As part of the code, the boys are encouraged to wear their full scout uniforms properly to all den and pack meetings. I feel that this rule is especially important for a sense of unity in our den.

With our new theme for the month, Adventure in Books, the wolves are encouraged to complete elective six in their books. We talked about ideas for a skit from some of their favorite books. We finally decided on the ending war in the fifth Harry Potter book, The Order of the Phoenix. We will practice our skit at next weeks den meeting.

We also completed the first part of our project for the month, an illuminated letter, as is commonly seen in the first letter of a chapter in books. The boys decorated the first letter from their names which we will continue to use in our project for the next few weeks.

We had such a great den meeting. I hope to see everyone next week.

Pack Meeting: September 30, 2008

What a wonderful Pack Meeting we had on Tuesday. Pack meeting started out with a fun skit by the Wolf Den. The boys did a great job on their invisible bench skit.

It was great to be able to have one of our scouts use the pack meeting to fulfill a requirement for his Webelo badge. Kanon Black prepared a cook out for the leaders and families and was presented his Webelo badge. Thank you to all who helped Kanon with his acheivements.
