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 Meetings. 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.
Upcoming Events
1/12/2011 Achievement Report Due for any Belt Loops or Activity Pins earned over the past month. Awards will be presented at the next Pack Meeting. Send an e-mail or call Dan Betts with your updates.
1/18/2011 We will have our next Den Meeting on Tuesday, January 18, 2011. I will let everyone know the details as we get closer to this date. Dan Betts will bring a scale for scouts to weigh their cars if they are ready.
1/21/2011 Pack Meeting on Friday, January 21, 2011. We will have our sign up for Space Camp so be sure to be there. The cost will be around $100 per person. If you sold $300 or more of popcorn this year, the plan is that the Pack will cover this fee for the boys. Be sure to bring your check book and get signed up at this time. Also, bring a sleeping bag, bean bag, or blanket to watch the movie, “Down and Derby.” The pack will be making popcorn. Note: I will not be at this Pack Meeting. I will be on the Scouters Winter Camp (SWC). This is an adult leader training event camping at Woodruff Scout Reservation. A scale will be available to weigh Pinewood Derby cars.
1/27-28/2011 Weigh-in and Quarantine. All Pinewood Derby racers must have their care weighed in and then quarantined prior to the race (same as last year). Watch for specific instructions.
1/29/2011 Pinewood Derby: Watch for schedule and activities to be posted on the Pack Website.
2/3/2011 February Den 11 Meeting: We will be wrapping up our records on Achievements and talking about electives. We will also be working on our Den 11 table centerpiece for the Blue & Gold Banquet. Dave Grachen, Dan Lee, and Frank Hunter will be pulling together the supplies and prepping the center piece for final completion. We may need to have a second session to complete the centerpiece. Who has the February Den Meetings?
