NOVEMBER 11TH DEN MEETING

Hi,
Please note that the next Den Meeting will be on Thursday Nov. 11th 2010 at 6:30 Scouter's Hall. We will be working on a few things next week, so please be prepared for the following things:

1) We will be finishing up section 3 in the handbook, so please have your boy look up some fact about the Mayflower, Pilgrims, or Plymouth Plantation. I want to discuss this part of American history with them.

2) Please bring a bar of soap and an old butter knife, as we will begin our work on our whittling chip.

3) Also, wanted to touch on bicycle safety, which is another requirement we must complete. In light of recent events, this seems timely.

**Please bring any contributions you may have, to any and all of the above topics **

Thanks guys---see you next week.

DEN MEETING ON 10/14/10 @ 6PM

Hi Guys,
For our next Den meeting we will all be meeting in the parking lot at Box Seats at 332 Farnum Pike in Smithfield, RI. From there we will car pool over to the Mowry Conservation area to look for and hopefully hear the Great Horned Owls that live there. I did this hike at night in the rain about one month ago, but unfortunately did not hear a thing. I thought this would be something different for the boys to experience. They can bring a flash light or head lamp to light their way, but NOT to shine on the owls-if we see/hear any. We can have our snack at the trail head when we finish up. We will be working on the following from the book:5A-5C-5D-5E-6B-12B-12C.

Please check out this website http://www.owlpages.com/sounds.php
and find the Great Horned Owl to listen to the calls and hoots we are expecting to hear.

The hike is only a mile long-if that. We can extend it though to do a second small loop.

I want to meet @ 6PM, as the owls are supposed to be most vocal at dusk and early evening. If it rains, we will meet at Scouter's Hall and work on something different-or reschedule.

Good footwear is advised.

This should be a real hoot.....I hope.

FIRST DEN MEETING INFORMATION
