May 2009 Monthly Theme: Leave Nothing but Footprints

Warm weather is a perfect time for outdoor adventure. As we enjoy our outdoor world, we should strive to take nothing but pictures and leave nothing but footprints. Learn about how to minimize your impact on the environment. Do your Good Turn and leave outdoor areas cleaner than you found them.

Notice: Wolf Den Meeting Change

Since we currently have only a few Wolf's in our den, we will be joining with another Wolf den in our stake for den meetings. Beginning in May, we will be temporarily joining the Riverview ward Wolf den for weekly den meetings. Our new den meeting time will be on Thursdays at 4:30 p.m. at the Crosspoint church. The room we will meet in will be located on the West side of the building.

I hope this will give the boys in our den a chance to have some fun with other scouts and we will be able to do a few more activities and play more games then we would have otherwise where our den is so small at present.

Thank you in advance for your understanding.

Notice: Pack Meeting Cancelled

Please note that Pack Meeting for April will be cancelled. Beginning in May, Pack Meetings will be held on the second Thursday of the month at 7:00 p.m., unless otherwise notified in advance. May's Pack Meeting will be held on Thursday, May 14th, at 7:00 p.m. at the church.

Wolf Den Meeting: April 14, 2009

This week started our new theme of Jurassic Pack. We talked a little bit about the different kind of dinosaurs and then created their own dinosaur skeletons. The boys named their dinosaurs and drew pictures of the dinosaurs they created. We also wrote about our dinosaurs, What they ate, where they slept and what they did. The boys are very creative. This completed some electives for us.

I hope the boys had a great time and continue to use their imaginations.

April 2009 Monthly Theme: Jurassic Pack

Explore the land before time! Imagine living in a time when dinosaurs roamed the Earth. What have paleontologists learned about the great beasts that roamed the Earth millions or years ago? Did any dinosaurs live where you do now? Find out what they ate, where they lived, and how they moved. What could we learn of these creatures that lived so long ago?

Wolf Den Meeting: March 31, 2009

We were so excited to have Jake at our den meeting. This was Jake's first den meeting as a new cub scout. We decided that since it was technically still March, we would go ahead and have another den meeting on careers.

This week we talked about cartography, map making, and worked on our Map and Compass belt loop. We were able to learn about the features of a map; scales, latitude, longitude, compass rose; and how to follow a compass and orient a map. We also talked about how compasses worked and made our very own compass. Jake did a great job being a cartographer in making his own map of his neighborhood.

Thanks for a fun den meeting.
