I've been so excited for this den meetings. It is so great to get out on a nice summer day and ride a bike. Our bike ride started at Winchester Park with a review on proper bike safety. After we rode along the Jordan River Parkway to the park on 5400 S. It was a very warm day, but the scouts did such a great job during the bike ride and even earned their bicycle belt loop. Congratulations.
Next week will be our Pinewood Derby Pack Meeting on Saturday, August 8th at 4:00 p.m. at the Crosspointe church. Hope to see everyone there.

See you there.

Pack Meeting: July 9, 2009
We welcomed two new scouts this month at pack meeting. Adam Hildt and Jaxon Wilde are our two newest Wolf scouts. Welcome to cub scouts, we hope you'll have lots of fun.
We had lot of belt loops to hand out this month earned from day camp. Those boys that attended both days of day camp received the BB Gun belt loop, Wildlife Conservation belt loop, Archery belt loop and Astronomy belt loop. Congratulations to all the boys. We had a great time at day camp.
This month's theme is be a good sport. We talked about what it means to be a good sport and playing fair then played a few relay games and some team games. I think the boys had a great time. Especially with the cup and plate staking game. (One boy had to lay on the ground while his teammates alternately stacked cups of water and paper plates balanced on his forehead.) I think our record was three cups.
After we completed our games, the boys received their good sport award certificate and a pinewood derby car to work on for the pinewood derby scheduled next month for pack meeting. Just a reminder, August's pack meeting will be on Saturday the 8th at 4:00 p.m. at the Crosspointe church.
Thanks to all the boys and families that came and participated in pack meeting. We'll see you next month. Good luck on those cars.

July 2009 Monthly Theme: Be a Sport
Not only is it important to do your best when you try new sports, it's also important to understand the rules of being a "good sport" no matter how the game goes.
What is good sportsmanship? You might say it is being a good loser. That's part of it. Nobody likes to lose. But when you do lose, you should grin and bear it. Don't complain about bad luck or wrong decisions by the officials. Just make up your mind to do better next time.
But there's more to good sportsmanship than being a good loser. It also means playing fair. A good sport does not cheat. He plays by the rules, even if he knows he could cheat and get away with it. You will never know if you are good at something unless you follow the rules.
A good sport plays hard. He plays to win-- but to win fairly. Remember, whether your win or lose at any event, you are all winners in life.
The Good Sport Code:
1. Obey the rules.
2. Never brag when you win.
3. Don't quit when you're losing.
4. Take turns.
5. Help others enjoy the game.
