December Den meeting

An earlier post said we would meet Dec 5th and 19th.  Due to some planning changes, we will NOT meet Dec 5th.  Our next Den meeting will be Dec 19th.

At each den meeting we are working on the achievements needed for the next Cub Scout Rank.  For the third graders, this is the Bear badge.  For the second graders it is the Wolf Badge.  There are 24 possible achievements, for the Bear rank, of which the boys must complete 12.  To ensure everything is recorded properly so that the boys get credit for completing achievements, please make sure the boys bring their handbooks to each meeting.  We will check for any signatures that parents have entered in the book, as well as sign off things we work at during the meetings.  So please, make sure the boys bring their handbooks do the meetings!

We are still planning an archery event for December, but have not yet completed the details.  We will post more information soon when we get it.

Den Meeting Nov 26th

Hello everyone,
Just a reminder our next Den meeting will be Monday Nov 26th at 6:30 at the  Church of the Good Shepherd.

Den meeting Nov 12th

Hello everyone,

We will be meeting Nov 12th at 6:30 at the Church of the Good Shepherd for our next Den meeting.  At the last Den meeting we discussed Acheivements 22 (Knot tying) and 23 (Sports). Refer to your Bear handbook for fulfilling these.  We also discussed ways to earn your citizenship and tennis belt loops.

The focus will be on Bear rank achievements, but we would like to help out the Wolf and Webelos Cub Scouts as well, so please attend if possible.

Thank you.

November, December and January Den meetings

Hello everyone,

 

At the last committee meeting we decided to try the alternating Monday/Wednesday den meeting times, based on some input from parents, so that more kids could attend.  

 

What we decided was 2nd and 4th Monday in Nov (Nov 12 and 26)

1st and 3rd Wednesday in December (Dec 5, 19)

2nd and 4th Monday in January (Jan 14, 28)

 

We are going to try this for the next few months and see how it goes.  We still need to get confirmation from the church but this should be good for planning purposes.  We will update as we need to.

 

The Den meetings will primarily focus on the Bear requirements, since that is the bulk of the boys right now. 

 

If anyone has any opinions on this one way or the other, please let us know.

 

thanks

Steve Tackett

Den Meetings

Thanks to everyone who put their meeting time preferences on the spreadsheet.  It looks like the time that will work best for most people is the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of the month, at 6:30pm.

With that in mind, we will have our next den meeting on Oct 17th at the Church of the Good Shepherd on Corral de Tierra.  See the following link for the church website and location/directions.  http://goodshepherdcorral.org/locationdirections/

Since the vast majority of the boys are working on their Bear rank, this will be the focus of the den meetings.  We do want to serve the Webelos and Wolf/Tiger Scouts as well, but honestly will need help from those families to do so.  Please contact us to discuss.

Thank you.

Fire Station visit

Just a reminder we will be meeting at the Fire Station in Carmel Valley Village on Saturday, Oct 6th at 1pm.
