The boys were assigned these items for homework that will be due at the den meeting on September 20, 2010:
Homework
| Assignment | Due Date |
| Complete Fitness Activity Badge Requirements 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 | Sept. 20, 2010 |
| Practice Activity Badge Requirements at Home for Improvement | We will be filling out chart weekly until Oct. 18, 2010 |

For our next den meeting on September 20, 2010, we will be working on requirements for the Naturalist activity badge in the Webelos Handbook. To prepare, please make sure you son reads the Naturalist section in his Webelos book.
Part of the Naturalist activity badge is to visit a natural history, nature center, or zoo with your family. I have planned for a trip to the National Zoo on November 20th. We will be meeting at Ledo’s Pizza at 8am. We will be going to the Vienna/Fairfax metro station to go into DC. If weather is not permitting this, we will change the plans to take the trip to the Natural History museum since then it will be inside.
Hope to see everyone at the next den meeting on September 20th.
