The boys did a great job last night and got a lot accomplished. We completed electives 12 b and 12 e which go toward requirements for the World Conservation Badge. All requirements are listed on page 282 of your Bear Book. Those boys that have already earned their Bear Badge can work on electives and earning this badge and also the Leave no Trace Badge. We decorated our horse heads for SFC and the boys took them home. Thanks to Dan Betts for doing a great job cutting them all out. Parents please help your sons come up with a stick for the head and make sure they bring them to SFC. The boys can add stain, paint, or any other decorations they want. We also split the boys into two patrols for Webelos Woods and each patrol came up with a patrol name, patrol yell, patrol leader, assisstant patrol leader, and scribe. We will continue to work on planning our WW event at future den meetings but we will also have an additional informational meeting for all Bears on March 12th, 6:30 at GM. The boys will work on achievements and electives while the parents get all the info on WW. So make plans to come if you are going to WW. We have a lot of activities that the boys can participate in the next couple of months and I will try to keep everyone updated. I would really like to award the Bear Badges to all the boys at the Hobo dinner so please get those last few achievements completed and let me know when you are finished.
