At Den Meeting

Elise Baughman talked to the boys about “What art is”. She also talked with the boys about different occupations in the art field. This discussions helped many of the boys complete their Artist Activity Badge

We began making piñatas for the Blue & Gold Banquet. We will continue working on these over the next few den meetings.

Looking Ahead

January 27 is Pinewood Derby. Check in will begin at 6:00pm. We hope to begin the race at 6:30pm. Don’t forget to refer to the Pinewood Derby rules when making your car (pay special attention to weight and wheels/axles).

February 3 & 17 are den meetings

February 24 is Blue & Gold Banquet. This is our annual birthday celebration for Cub Scouts. We generally serve a potluck dinner. Look in January’s Pack newsletter for food assignments.

March 31 is Rain Gutter Regatta. We will be using recycled material to build little boats and racing them in rain gutters. We need your help collecting recycled materials. Items that work well: pudding & yogurt cups, small juice bottles, fruit cups, other small (and not so small) plastic or foam containers (like egg cartons). Please no Styrofoam (packing peanuts or molded Styrofoam. It’s very messy). Bring the items that you collect to the Rain Gutter Regatta.

Don’t Forget
Please remember that if scouts are not paid up to date on their pack dues, they will not receive awards. Please make sure pack dues are kept current so that we can give the scouts the awards they earn.

Boys should be bringing their Webelos book and binder with them to every den meeting.
