Wolf Den Meeting: August 20, 2009

This week we completed achievement 7. We worked on 7d, which is a service project to pick up litter in our neighborhood. The boys did a great job of being good citizens and doing a good turn as we walked around the church and a surrounding neighborhood cleaning up litter. We also counted this service project towards our Leave No Trace service requirement (number 4).

Just a reminder, next week we will be visiting the Taylorsville Fire Station. We will need a consent form completed for each scout who wished to attend. This outing will also help completed part of requirement 9c.

Wolf Den Meeting: August 13, 2009

I apologize for the delay in posting about our first den meeting this month. I honestly just forgot about it until this week.

This week we worked on achievement 7 a-c, e & f. We learned about our world
and the ways in which we can take care of it. We discussed our environment and ways in which we can respect and conserve our natural resources.

We also worked on our Leave No Trace badge by discussing the frontcountry guidelines and drawing a poster to illustrate the guidelines.

If your scout was not able to attend this week and would still like to work on the Leave No Trace award, please refer to the requirements in the back of the Wolf handbook, page 227.

Pack Meeting: August 8, 2009

This month's pack meeting has been highly anticipated all year, the big Pinewood Derby event. We decided to combine with the other wards that the wolf den meet with for their weekly meetings. It was a great turnout. I think all of the boys and their families had a great time.

The boys did such a great job on their cars, they look fantastic, and were all very good sports.

The overall winner of the pinewood derby was Cameron V. (sorry can't remember his last name) from the Crosspointe ward. Below is a picture of Cameron with his winning car, which also won the award for the most elegant.

Wyatt Openshaw (bear den) came in second place, Antonio Milner (from other ward) received third place, and though we only went to third place I thought I'd mention that another one of our bear's, Clint Christensen, came in fourth place. Congratulations to everyone that worked so hard and participated. We had a great time.

Below are the awards received for the Cimarron scouts:

Most Original Design: Caden Van
Most Unusual Shape: Shayne Zullo
Best Design: Wyatt Openshaw
Sportiest Car: Clint Christensen
Most Fun: Ryan Lake
Most Natural: Garrison Hauet
Most Futuristic: Trey Austin
Collector's Award: Jaxon Wilde

August 2009 Monthly Theme: Fun in the Sun

God created families. He also created our beautiful world for us to enjoy and care for. We have fun doing things together as families and in Cub Scouting. We have many opportunities to work and play together. Cub Scouting, our families, and God's beautiful outdoors have provided us with many adventures. Let us be thankful for all of these.
