WILDLIFE CONSERVATION BELT LOOP

Den 5 has a goal for the scouts, to earn the wildlife conservation belt loop for the Nov. Pack meeting.
Requirements:
1.  Explain what Natural resources are and why it is important to conserve them.  (Done at 10/11 meeting, so if you were not present please do with your parents and share with a Den leader next meeting.)
2.  Make a poster that shows and explains the food chain (we will do this as a den at 11/8 meeting)
3.  Learn about an endangered species.  Make a report to your den that includes a picture, how the species came to be endangered, and what is being done to save it.  If you will be attending the field trip to the Wolf Sanctuary, you can download a picture from their website and then make a report about what you learned on the field trip.  IF you cannot make it to the field trip, don't worry.  Pick a different species to do your report on.  There are plenty of online resources which your parents can help you with. (To present to the Den at the 11/3 bowling meeting.)
4.  Homework for the Monday 11/8 den meeting.  Download or cut out 5 newspaper or magazine articles that discuss wildlife conservation and share with us what you learned.  These will be discussed while you wait for your turn to bowl.
