WINTER CAMPOUT/OTHER INFORMATION

Hi Guys,
First off, thank you very much for running the Halloween Party event for our Den. I really appreciate everybody stepping up to lend a hand.

PLEASE BE SURE TO CATCH UP AND DO THE ACHIEVEMENTS YOUR SON HAS MISSED.

A few dates to keep in mind:

NOVEMBER 7TH: COLLECT FOOD BAGS AND DROP THEM OFF AT THE PRIMROSE FIRE STATION.

NOVEMBER 12: DEN MEETING 6:30 SCOUTER'S HALL. WORKING ON ACHIEVEMENT 5. YOU WILL NEED TO BRING: HAMMER, SMALL FLAT AND PHILLIPS HEAD SCREW DRIVER, PLYERS,SAND PAPER(FINE GRIT IF YOU HAVE IT), AND SOME NEWS PAPER TO COVER WORK SURFACE.

NOVEMBER 20-22:WINTER CAMPOUT AT CUBWORLD.

**THINGS YOU WILL NEED FOR THE CAMPOUT**

Although we will be sleeping inside a building, there will be NO heat, so it is important, depending on how cold it will be, to be prepared. If you have gone in years past, you should know what to expect.

1) Warm sleeping bag(20 degree or colder rating should be fine).

2) No electric heating devices are allowed, but you can bring chemical hand/feet, and body warmers. They do work well at night to stuff into the foot of your sleeping bag...follow instructions.

3) Dress in layers.

4) Raincoat/waterproof shell if weather looks like rain or snow.

5) Flash light.

6) Warm shoes or boots.

7) Hat and gloves.

8) Snacks.

9) Water bottle(for night once we turn in).

We will go over this at the next Den Meeting on 11/12/09

2. Halloween Party......10/23/09
Please note that each Scout MUST bring one small pumpkin for decorating and one snack. Additionally, I will not be able to attend the party so, we need to have some of the parents from our den help out by volunteering at one of the activities. I would take turns and run the activity in shifts.

!!!! IMPORTANT !!!!

If your son misses a meeting, it is crucial that you do the requirements at home with your son, and report back to me with his completion, so I can mark him down as completing the activity. We all want to get the Wolf badges at the same time. If we did a craft or made something pertaining to a requirement, I will give you whatever we worked on at the next meeting.

If you miss the meeting, dues are still collected. I buy enough projects, supplies, etc...for each boy.

Thank you,
See you all at the next meeting.

2nd Meeting

OK-One down and eleven to go. Our next meeting will be on October 8th at 6:30. We will meet again in the large room at Scouter's Hall. Our second acievement will be "Your Flag". If you have an American Flag to bring, please do. We will need at least a few. I also plan on having the boys make their own den flags this year. If time permits, I think we can also do Achievement three, "Keep Your Body Healthy". I will pass out a chart for the boys to work on towards that achievement anyway. I hope we have some singers in the crowd, because we will do electives 11a and 11b. My two Denners next meeting will be Mathew Belcher and Ian Hartley. They both did a great job of collecting dues. They will do that as well as a few other things to help out. New Denners will be chosen each meeting, and everyone will get a chance. If you were unable to pay dues last time, please be prepared for them next meeting. With 14 scouts this year, it gets to be very expensive to buy all the supplies and uniform emblems.

First Meeting

We will be meeting on 9/24/09 at Scouter's Hall at 6:30. We will be working on the first achievement in the Wolf handbook :"FEATS OF SKILL". The boys should not wear their uniforms for this one! Please take a minute to read the first part of the handbook, and brush up on the Bobcat requirements from last year. Our first Pack Meeting will be on 9/25/09 at 6:30pm, uniforms are mandatory. Please be sure to have the correct slide, kerchief, and hat. Other than that, see you all this Thursday.

WOLF DEN 2
