Den 5 Science badge 11/9

Hi Phil, 

Thank you for contacting me.  You'll actually receive a confirmation email
later this week if not today, but in the meantime yes you are officially
registered for the Friday, November 9 Webelos workshop here at the North
Museum.

I actually have you listed with 2 registrations.  One for 8 scouts and 2
adults, and one for an additional 2 scouts. 

Thank you for your interest in our Webelos program and I look forward to
meeting you on November 9.

As I mentioned, I am working overnight that night and cannot attend, I reserved 2 adults and all the scouts(10).  We will need to decide who will attend from the adult standpoint and who will drop the kids off.  You can contact Mike if more than 2 adults wish to attend, I'm sure that would be fine.

Den meeting 10/22

Den 5 will have a den meeting on the 22nd.
Location:  St Thomas Church
Time: 7-8pm
Please wear uniforms and bring books.
The good Mr Goldstein has agreed to lead the meeting as Dr B will be in the hospital (working that is.)
Plan to review the Webelos requirements involving learning about Boy Scouts, starting on page 54.

This would also be a good time for some scouts to complete needed requirements:
Jesse and Elijah:  Outdoorsman Requirement 1 (page 344)
Ryan and Hilton:  Complete the Bobcat requirements in front of the Den Akela.

The Pack meeting is the following Monday 10/29

Den 5 Mon 10/15

I have to remind myself that I lived 8 years in the Pacific NW where I would do all kinds of outdoors activities in the rain.  After all, what choice did I have?
Plan tonight is to meet at Overlook Park at the Discovery Playground.  7pm.
Please bring rain jackets and appropriate shoes.
There is a covered pavilion where we can meet and do activities if it is raining heavily, but looking at the map there is a good chance the rain will have passed by then.
Please bring your Webelos books.
Adults, if one or two of you could bring a lantern that would be appreciated.

Plan:  Campfire meeting:
Flag Ceremony
How to build a campfire
Make campfire
Cook S'mores
Clean up
game

If raining, there is a grill area just outside the pavilion where we can build the fire and roast S'mores.
Also if raining will spend time covering pages 54-59 Understanding Boy Scouts.

In summary, meet at Overlook Park 7-8pm
Campfire if light rain
Activities under the pavilion if raining.

Either way, bring jacket and preferably rain gear as well as flashlights

See you tonight!!

Den 5 Meeting 10/8

Reminder the meeting will be this Monday at St Thomas church, 7-8pm.
Plan:
Review the Webelos uniform and badge as part of the Webelos requirement.
Plan our campfire meeting(10/15)--the scouts need to plan what we do.
Start the design of the Klondike sled.

We are in the process of reserving spots at the Science Factory for the Engineer badge.  Due to the limited available spots we will need to split into 2 groups.  One group on March 9th and one group on April 13th.

The workshop starts at 3pm and ends at 7:30pm. The cost per scout is $10.00,
Den Leaders are free and any additional parents, chaperones, siblings etc.
are admitted at our group rate of $5.50. We are not able to integrate
non-Webelos siblings/friends into Workshop, but they are able to spend time
on the exhibit floor during the program as long as they have adult
supervision.  

If either date works let us know, but if there is one date that is a no-go, we will give your scout preference for the alternate date.
Also, I would like to collect the money for the North Museum Science Badge at the Oct 15th campfire meeting.  Cost was $12.50 / scout.  I had to pay at the time of registration.

We have 4 boys who have either already joined scouts or are interested in joining our den!
Riley Bernhardt , Hilton and Ryan Lam, and Henry Willis
We have a Den blog that contains all the email information, please check it periodically.  The link should be at the bottom of this email.
