Den Meetings

Last night was a great Den Meeting, lots of interactive activities, great parental involvement, and a chance for the scouts to run-around.

I wanted to thank Dave Grachen for taking the scouts through the feats of skill (Achievement #1). We will revisit these when we are camping and finish up with the catch and throw activity.

Also, last night we went through Keeping Your Body Healthy (Achievement 3b & 3c). We had a lot of fun with the fake blood and the scouts practicing how to care for a small cut. And thanks to Robert Payne (who was visiting our Den last night for being the victim and being wrapped from head to toe. We will review these two tasks again at the All Wolf Den Meeting/Bowling Belt Loop activity on 9/26/2010.

There is a homework assignment for the Achievement #3 in your Wolf handbook (Achievement 3a). This will be due at the 10/28/2010 Den 11 Meeting.

I also handed out awards last night that included the Outdoor Activity Award (Patch) for every member of the Den. The patch is sewn on the right pocket flap of the scouts Class-A uniform. Den 11 also will receive the Summertime Activity Award Ribbon to go on our new Den Flag. We received this award for more than 50% of our Den attending a Pack Activity in each of the months of June, July and August. Those scouts that attended all three events (Scout Day Camp, Pack Picnic, and the August Pack Meeting) also receive a Summertime Activity Pin. The pin is placed on the Outdoor Activity Award Patch on the right pocket flap – just push the pin through the patch and secure the pin clasp.
