Den Meeting Update

Very good meeting, Scouts!  I was impressed with your thoughts about what makes America great!

The scouts should be bringing home a poster they made representing things they think make America great.  They can continue to work on these at home and they will need to bring these posters to the Pack meeting on 12/19 so that they can share them with the whole pack.

Next Den meeting will be in 1 week, 12/5.  Scouts will need to work on Achievement 4 at home and be ready to participate with the Den around this topic.

Magic:  This was a big hit this meeting.  For the 12/5 meeting, scouts are encouraged to work on a magic trick and perform it for the den.  Two scouts, Nico and Jesse, were picked to perform their magic tricks at the Pack meeting 12/19.  Carver will do his magic trick for the Pack in Jan.

Skits/Jokes:  I'd like to see the scouts perform more skits or jokes.  They can perfom these in front of the Den and the best will be able to perform them for the Pack.  This will help develop confidence and public speaking skills.  So, ask your scout if there are any skits or jokes they want to share with the Den.  They can let the Den leaders know about it at the start of the meeting and we will give them their time to perform.  As long as the jokes are not "dirty" and don't put anyone down, I'll give them freedom to share with the den.  After all they are boys and its ok to be goofy.

Denners:(24b) This role helps to complete achievement 24, be a leader.  By the end of Jan, all the boys will have been a denner once.  So, please review achievement 24 and help the boys finish anything they need to satisfy the rest of the requirement.  If your scouts were at the meeting where we helped teach the Tigers the bobcat, they will have also completed 24a, so they just need to review 24f with you at home.
New Denners for the 12/5 meeting:  Drew Brown - will lead the "pledge"and "cub scout promise"  Jacob Geiter - will plan and lead the closing game.

Den meeting 11/28

For our next den meeting on 11/28 please complete the following at home:


Achievement 3a, b, e, and j.  Please complete and bring to the 11/28 Den meeting and share your thoughts with the rest of the den.  This will be the basis for the 11/28 Den meeting

To finish achievement 9 (if you were at the meeting) do one more at home, either C,D,or G

Elective 13 - Magic Handkerchief.  Whoever is the best at it can do it for the pack at the Dec pack meeting!  Everyone will have a chance to show us your skills at the 11/28 den meeting, so work on it for then and bring your props.

Thanks!

Den 5 Cooking in Chaos

Congratulations, Scouts!  You should all be proud, taking more responsibility for your meetings.  Tonight was a lot of fun.  We will call it cooking in chaos!  You all completed achievement 9.  In one meeting you cooked 2 packets of Jello, 3 pots of "old school" popcorn, a batch of chocolate chip cookies and a batch of oatmeal.   Whew, that was a lot!!  I must say you are all excellent cookie makers.
 
Mr. Brown is putting together a fun outing next week, so look for the email later in the week.

Denners for this month are:  Nico and Carver.  Carver will lead the next opening ceremony--so prepare.  They both will assist Mr Brown with the meeting.

Skit:  Practice "the Amazing Handkerchief" page 232

Den Meeting 11/7

Den 5 will be meeting at my house this Monday, the 7th.
Nico will lead the opening, and then we will draw names for the 2 denners for the next 3-4 weeks.
The plan is to cover Bear achievement 9, "What's cooking"
I will provide the ingredients to make a batch of oatmeal cookies and a batch of chocolate chip cookies, as well as popcorn and jello.
The 2 selected denners will also meet with one of the den leaders to help plan out the next meeting and game.
We will also discuss working on skits for future meetings.
Jacob Pongonis is in charge of the game this Monday, so I am sure it will be a lot of fun!
