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.
