Veteran’s Day video

The boys made a short video on Veteran’s Day, Nov. 11, 2008, to thank veterans for their service. It was forwarded Nov. 13 to a soldier on leave from fighting in Afghanistan. I work with his mother-in-law.

She cried when she saw it.

Nov. 11 Meeting

Hey folks,

Just a reminder that the Cubs will be showing off their collections at the Nov. 11 den meeting. 

Don’t forget to work on achievements with your boys. Remember that No. 10 Family Time must be done at home with family! 

Also, update Scouttrack.com so Bonita knows if you’re boy should get more beads or any kind of badge. 

See you Tuesday!

At the Oct. 7 meeting, 10 Cub Scouts and I “Little Scout Buddy,” Danny, built birdhouses and toolboxes. Building a useful item is a requirement in the boys’ Wolf Badge achievements. Keep up the good work guys! Keep doing those requirements, and let a den leader know if you complete any requirements at home!

Friday Sept. 26-28 at Camp Westin near Red Top Mountain.

Here is a flier for the event. campout-flier

Also, I will need Medical Forms from each of the Scouts and family member who will attend. The forms are at: http://www.scouting.org/FileStore/pdf/34412.pdf for over-40-years-old forms and http://www.northernstarbsa.org/Forms/Camping/Class1-2YouthAdult.pdf or those under 40.

Please print out and bring to the next meeting.

Finally, make sure you boy has completed or is very near completing all eight Bobcat Badge requirements. There will be a Bobcat Badge Ceremony, and your boy should take part. Let me know if you have any questions.

Parish Cleanup Day Photos

Here are some photo of the Sept. 6, 2008 Parish Cleanup Day at St. Michael’s Church. Who didn’t have a good time? That’s what I thought! It was a lot of fun.

If anyone has photos of the Belt Loop Frenzy, post them here, or e-mail them to me so I could post.

Thanks!

Thanks sooo much, parents, for helping out at last night’s meeting.
I think the kids had a good time and learned a lot, especially thanks to Steve’s flag-folding demonstration. (I learned a lot, too.)
Regarding the “banner hands,” Baldo and his wife will make another banner like that for the Wolf Den 2. Meanwhile, we need to write the boys’ names onto the hands with fabric paint. Then we’ll sew the hands on to the banners.
I need two volunteers: one person to paint the names on each hand, and someone else to sew the hands onto the banners.
I’d appreciate it, and so would the boys.
Also, could I ask some one to take head-and-shoulder digital photos of each of the boys at the next Den Meeting, or whenever appropriate? They will be used for a future requirement.
By the way, the next meeting, Sept. 23. Pack meeting.
Thanks again.

Here’s a riddle your boy might like.
Q: What doesn’t ask questions but always demands an answer?
A: A doorbell!
