Den 11 Update

Yesterday we completed Achievement 5, “Tools for Fixing and Building.” We had a great time at Lowes building a game box and learning about different tools.

I will be calling

each family to talk about what Achievements need to be completed over the next month on the path to earning the Wolf Badge. All the remaining achievements are to be completed with the family and then we will talk about them at our Den Meetin

gs. That means that if you are caught up on everything as of today, you will need to complete Achievements 8, 10, 11, & 12 as a family and report your progress.
