October 19, 2009 Den Meeting

October 19, 2009

Dear Den 1 Bear Parents,

Today we completed requirement a, b, f or g, for Achievement 18, Jot It Down. We completed making a list of things to do for tomorrow, writing two letters to relatives or friends, and either writing a story about something you did with your family or about activities in your den.

Requirement 18c should be completed at home in the next 2 weeks. The boys are to keep a daily record in their journal that they were given. The journals are due November 9, 2009. They will be added to their section of the den scrapbook.

We also worked on a song that we will be doing for the pack meeting on November 2. If you need a copy of it, please email me.

As a reminder, each week a different boy will be selected to be Denner (requirement 24b). Along with being a denner for that den meeting, the boy (along with the help of his parents) will plan a future den meeting (as to fulfill requirement 24c). Each boy will pick a requirement left in the book that we still need to do (if you need a list of what we still need to work on, email me carissa.grayson@gmail.com or give me a call 540-812-4159 or 540-842-3033). Once they pick a requirement or achievement to work on, they will need to present it to me (or the parents can email it to me at anytime). When it is approved, it will go on the agenda for the next meeting. This will help teach the boys independent and leadership skills that they will need as they move closer to Boy Scouts.

Instead of randomly selecting at the den meetings the denner of the week, I went ahead and we randomly did it to put it on the schedule so the boys can go ahead and look at what they would like to play for their den meeting.
