Meeting in 1 week

Next den meeting will be in 1 week, given the holidays.
Bring your drills, extension cords, drill bits and screw driver bits.  We are building the Klondike sleds.
The dens meetings this month should be a lot of fun, building and honing outdoors skills.  I will need to know who will NOT be attending the klondike on 1/26.  I will be turning in our roster in shortly after the next den meeting.
Plan is to camp out (in a heated cabin) on Friday and then Sat AM the klondike begins!  We are also welcome to camp out Sat night too, free to do our own thing.
Parents, I will need a volunteer to supply:  10 pieces of 6 foot rope and three 6 ft poles.  In addition if you can figure out how to do lashing of poles to connect them together that would be great we will need to teach the boys!

This is ultimately what we will need in the sleds:

Items needed on the sled:
Scout Handbook
Patrol Flag
Patrol Roster
Patrol Cheer (to be yelled)
First Aid Kit
Two blankets
Ten pieces of 6’ rope
Three 6’ poles
Compass
Paper and Pencil
Fire starting materials (no commercial products) Filled water bottles (one for each participant) Helmet (required for sled rider) Appropriate footwear (boots, no sneakers) 

Meeting 12/10 Klondike

We will meet at the church tonight and start working on the Klondike sled.
I will bring the wood.
We could you some additional measuring tape, squares, and straight edges.
I was thinking the scouts could measure and mark up the wood tonight and then some adult volunteers could cut the pieces this week (adults are allowed to operate the power saws.)
We can then have the scouts assemble the sled at future meetings until complete.
