Wolf Den Meeting: October 22, 2009

This week we worked on our marble belt loop. This was quite an interesting week with 14 boys and marbles. They boys learned how to play a basic marble game, some terminology and were able to practice a few shots. After the rules were explained we were able to play a few games of marbles.

The boys did a great job and hopefully found a new game that they will like to play again.

This week we worked on achievement 4. Scouts were given a list to write down important phone numbers (4a) and also a chart of jobs they have agreed to do (4e), both to be completed at home. We discussed personal safety with the scouts in instances when someone comes to your door or someone is on the phone. We also talked about what needs to be done when you leave your home to keep things safe (4b,c,d).

After working on achievement 4, we played a fun new game of tag. I think it took a little bit to catch on, but they boys seemed to have fun once they got it.

Pack Meeting: October 8, 2009

This month's pack meeting theme was Jungle Safari. We had lots of fun activities planned, unfortunately, we didn't have any scouts in attendance. November's pack meeting will be the Jungle Safari theme.

Luckily the weather cooperated on our visit to Wheeler Farm. It turned out to be a brisk fall afternoon. What a great time we had with the scouts. As we walked through the farm we learned a little bit about the history of the farm. The boys learned what the ponds on the farm were used for; creating ice blocks for the Rosebud Dairy Ice Company. The also learned what kind of horses were on the farm, what kind of machinery was used and even what color of eggs the chickens lay. Life on a farm takes a lot of hard work. I hope the boys were able to learn a little more about that life.

Our visit to Wheeler Farm fulfilled the following:

Wheeler farm patch
Achievement 4f
Achievement 7d
Requirement for collecting belt loop

October 2009 Monthly Theme: Jungle Safari

The jungle is a fun place for boys to explore the exciting world outside their backyards. The history of the Cub Scout story highlights Baloo, the wise old brown bear who taught the wolf cubs the Law of the Pack. The theme provides an opportunity to educate your Cub Scouts about our animal friends of the jungle and the world and the impact we can make on our world by being aware of the need for conservation in all aspects of our lives.

Wolf Den Meeting: September 24, 2009

This week we worked on our cub scout craft. The boys had a great time making their individualized treasure boxes to keep all their treasures and collections in. Its great to see each scout's personality and likes in how they decorated their boxes. I hope they will fill them with fun things.
