November Pack Meeting
November 19, 2008Tiger Den Updates
November 14, 2008The Tigers have been busy!
We are very proud of all our Tigers receiving their Bobcat badges at the October pack meeting. We just completed a go see it at the Parker Police Station where the scouts had a lot of fun learning about police work, all about 911, & what happens if you get arrested.
The Tigers are planning a go see it on 12/30/08 to go to the Channel 9 News Station. We’ve completed go see its to Delaney Farms, as well as gone on a go see it nature hike at Cherry Creek State Park. We only have 1 more go see it to go after the tv station.
The Tigers have also just finished all five of their required Den achievements on the way to their Tiger badges. It’s now up to the families to finish the Family achievements. The Tigers will now focus attention on completing some more electives & belt loops.
Here are the highlights so far:
- played soccer together
- started Tiger den scrapbooks
- made puppets
- made leaf rubbing art
- played lots of fun buddy and icebreaker games
Up next, we’ll be feeding the birds by making birdfeeders & doing a couple of projects for the upcoming holidays.
Good Turn Week
November 14, 2008Please deliver all food collected by your scout from the food drive to Canyon Creek Elementary, between 11:00 am & 12:00 pm on Saturday the 15th. Taking part in this activity gives your scout a service project credit which the scout may use towards the completetion of a badge requiring a service project. We encourage all scouts to participate as this benefits several local orginizations and the needy at an important time of the year.
Scout Accounts from Popcorn Sales
November 14, 2008We will be creating a form for parents to fill out when requesting money be used from their scout’s account. The requests will only cover scouting costs such as dues, activitiy costs, replacement awards, refunds for purchases from the scout store and other items directly linked to scouting. We will only be able to issue checks for refunds. The scout accounts will be setup by the next pack meeting and requests will be accecpted once the pack has completed all additional setup and administration. If there is a question about whether a request will qualify please direct it to your Den Leader after the next pack meeting.

Pinewood Derby Update
November 14, 2008We will be having our pinewood derby on Feburary 7th at 12:30 at the Lord of the Hills Lutheran Church off of Smoky Hill Rd. We will be passing out pinewood derby kits soon for scouts to craft their very own pinewood derby racer from. The pack asks that parents only supervise while the scout builds the racer and not have a direct hand in the car’s building in any way.
Wolves Den Meeting 11/11/08
November 11, 2008The Wolves learned about some basic hand tools tonight. They also got to try out using a select few of them. The Wolves also made small first aid kits. This was not a direct result of the first activity.
On 12/6/08 the Wolves will be going to Home Depot off Gun Club Rd to make art easles. This activity will run from 9am to noon.
Leader Training
November 6, 2008All Leaders -
Please ensure your training is up to date and the pack’s training coordinator has a copy of all of the certificates on file. There are new leader essential training courses offered through Denver Area Council going on most of this month. There is also a large amount of free online training courses at the BSA Online Learning Center.
The pack would like all leaders to be able to proudly display the “Trained” badge but all leaders must participate in Fast Start Training, New Leader Essentials, Cub Scout Leader Specific training, and Youth Protection Training if they have not. The Youth Protection Training is mandatory for all leaders to complete.
Tiger Den Meeting 11/04/08
November 6, 2008The tigers enjoyed making leaf rubbings and turning them into wonderful cards. They also spent time on making food pyramid charts. The tigers are planning a fun trip to a local fire or police station later this month. Tigers should contact their den leaders for the details of the trip.
Wolves Den Meeting 11/04/08
November 5, 2008The Wolves had fun making a picture frame for their familes. There will be uniform inspections during the next den meeting on 11/11/08. All wolves are expected to be in their Class A uniforms and looking spiffy. The scouts will be graded on the appearance of their uniforms.
