Thanks for everyone pitching in to help with the Refrigerator Box decorating. I also wanted to thank all the parents that are pitching in to help with upcoming Pack events. Den 11 is well represented and I am proud of everyone for stepping up. As we have been told, scouting is lead by volunteer Scouters (parents and Adults who have an interest in seeing scouts learn the scout values, have fun, and mature into outstanding young men).
Today we wrapped up Achievement # 6 and did the Character Connections for Achievement #7.
If you have missed some meetings all Den 11 should have Achievements 1, 2, 3, & 4 complete.
By the next Den Meeting scouts should complete the necessary work at home to have Achievements 6, 8, & 9 complete if they have not already done so.
In January we will complete Achievement 7 & 10.
In February we will complete the last two, Achievement 11 & 12
