March 2010 Monthly Theme: Take Flight
It wasn't long ago that you might have heard one man say to another: "They sky is the limit." He meant that a man could make anything of himself that he wanted, at least on earth.
Well, they sky is no longer the limit! There's almost no limit to what you can aspire to do, either on earth or in space.
Col. Buzz Aldrin, veteran astronaut, who was a member on Scout Troop 12 in New Jersey, has urged young people to obtain a well-rounded background in many fields of knowledge, to select one field and strive to achieve excellence in it. "Set your goals high and settle for nothing less than accomplishment," Aldrin said.

Wolf Den Meeting: February 25, 2010
This week we started working on the requirements for our Art belt loop. We talked about the common materials used to create a visual art composition and then discussed the elements of design. We discussed lines, shapes, patterns, textures, space, balance, and perspective; and drew examples of each. The boys did a wonderful job. Next, each scout had to create a stamp, cd cover or book cover using at least three of the elements they had learned.
Next week we will complete the Art belt loop by discussing the color wheel. If your scout was not able to attend this weeks den meeting and would still like to earn the Art belt loop, please let me know and I can get you a copy of the worksheet we used to discuss the elements of design.

Wolf Den Meeting: February 18, 2010
This week the scouts worked on Achievement 3 b and c. The scouts were given a health habits chart to track their health habits for two weeks. Parents, please sign off on Achievement 3a when your scout has completed his chart.
After working on our achievement requirements, the scouts played human foosball. I must say I felt pretty old when several of the scouts commented that they didn't know what foosball was. Hopefully, they enjoyed the game anyway.

Pack Meeting: February 11, 2010
Wow, what a great Birthday party we had for the BSA. I was so happy the everyone came to celebrate with us. I first have to apologize that I don't have any photos to post. I came prepared with my camera, but was so busy, I forgot to take it out. So if anyone has pictures that they would like to share, please email them to me at michellebird17@hotmail.com. Thanks.
We started off our party with a wonderfully done rendition of "Happy Birthday." Afterward, we dug into a typical birthday party dinner of pizza, fruit, veggies and chips. Topped off with birthday cupcakes, each with their own candle.
After our dinner, we handed out awards to the boys. A special congratulations to Garrison Hauet for receiving his Bear badge and his upcoming advancement into the Webelos. That is a great accomplishment. Next, the Wolf pack (Jake Kemp, Tyrell Gwilliam, Adam Hildt, Shayne Zullo, Jaxon Wilde and Luke Morris), received their Communicating belt loops.
After all this, there was still more. We played a few party games including "Pin the Badge on the Scout" and "Balloon Stomp". I had such a great time and I hope everyone else did too.
Thank you to everyone who helped set up and clean up. A big thanks to Lori Pond, Emily Giles and Julie Janes for putting candles on all our cupcakes. And of course Thanks to all the parents and boys for coming and supporting the scouts.

Wolf Den Meeting: February 4, 2010
This week the scouts continued to work on their Communicating belt loop by making a poster of something that interests them and explaining it to the den. The boys did a great job. They love to draw and always have a story to tell. Needless to say, the Communicating belt loop was easy to achieve.
After working on our belt loop, we played a quick game of cotton ball blow out. It takes a lot of hot air.
Thanks for all your hard work boys. Remember, next week will be our Pack Meeting, the Blue and Gold Banquet. See you there.

February 2010 Theme: Happy Birthday, BSA
It's time to celebrate with a big birthday bash: the Boy Scouts of America is 100 years old this year.
The story: In 1909, a Chicago publisher, William D. Boyce (brought the Boy Scouts to America), lost his way in a dense London fog. A young scout came to his aid, guiding him through the fog. William D. Boyce tried to give him a tip, but the scout explained that he could not take a tip for doing a Good Turn. William D. Boyce was inspired by the actions of the scout and met with Robert Baden-Powell, founder of the Boy Scouts.
It began with a scout helping another person find his way. It began with a few men of intelligence and a love of the outdoors and youth. They had an idea, determination, and enthusiasm. They used all of those things to turn their idea into the reality we call the Boy Scouts of America.
