Wolf Den Meeting: January 28, 2010

This week we worked with the boys on the flag ceremony. The boys did a great job. We still need some practice, but they are doing great.

We also worked on another requirement for our communicating belt loop, writing a letter; and made invitations for February's pack meeting, the Blue and Gold Banquet. Just another reminder, pack meeting is on Thursday, February the 11th at 6:30 p.m. We will be having dinner, so please let me know by Tuesday, February 9th, how many people from your family will be coming. We are celebrating the 100th Birthday of the scouting program, please be sure to come and celebrate with us.

Wolf Den Meeting: January 21, 2010

This week we worked on Achievement 8a and 8b. We learned about the food pyramid and named foods from each of the food groups. We also planned the meals the scouts and their families should have for one day. At each meal, the scouts should have foods from at least three food groups.

Parents, please help your scouts finish up Achievement 8 by working on c,d,and e requirements at home.

Pack Meeting: January 14, 2010

This month at pack meeting we had two scouts get some very important badges. Luke Morris received his Bobcat badge as well as a music belt loop. Jake Kemp received his Wolf badge as well. Congratulations to both Luke and Jake. Earning their rank badges is such an accomplishment.

After the badge ceremony, we played a few games of slammers and creepers, and cotton ball blow out.

Just an important reminder, next month's Pack Meeting is the Blue and Gold banquet. This is a special event, but has a very special milestone attached to it this year as well, since Scouting is celebrating it's 100th anniversary. Please put, Thursday, February, 11, on your calendars and be sure to attend.

Thanks.

Wolf Den Meeting: January 7, 2010

This week we worked on one of the requirements for the communicating belt loop. After our opening ceremonies, we chased the boys into the kitchen where we decorated some fabulous cupcakes that Cynthia (the other Den Leader) had made for us. The boys did a wonderful job. I'm sure you could imagine what they looked like.

After our cupcakes were completed we went back to our scouting room and each boy got to tell a story, true or made up, of their choosing. This was the requirement for our communications belt loop. As usual, there was no lack of enthusiasum to tell a story.

After our cupcakes and story telling, we went into the gym to burn off some sugar with a game of SPUD.

Thanks everyone for coming and participating.

So Sorry It's Been So Long
