Yeah! I got time to do one before the end of the week :)
This week we started working on our Citizen badge. This is a requirement in order for the boys to get their Webelos badge. We also are working on getting the United States Heritage Award. This is an award that I found where when the boys complete it, they will receive a patch. It shows that they have an understanding of the United States just as what we will be learning with Citizen. I thought this would be a cool incentive for the boys to receive.
For Citizen, we worked on requirement 1, 3, and 8. For 8, they will be receiving their Citizenship belt loop if they have not already earned it.
The boys need to be thinking about a den service project that they would like to do. It can be as simple as picking a time and day and going to pick up trash somewhere. I just want each boy to give an idea of what they want to do. I want their suggestions at the next den meeting.
Also, for homework, they were given a chart. They are to list jobs that they are to do around the house. With this chart, they are to chart their progress for one week. I will expect this to be shown to me at the next den meeting. I am also wanting the boys to actually do this. I have had some stuff turned in to me that is obviously not in their handwriting. I need proof that the boys are completing this and not the parents.
Since we have a 2 week break from den meetings (because of Halloween Party and Pack meeting), if the boys would like to complete the next homework assignment during this time, they can. For this portion they will need to make a poster showing things they can do to be a good citizen. When they complete this, they will present it to the den.
Important dates and other information:
October 25th – Halloween Party – Start time will be 6:30! Each boy needs to bring in a bag of candy for the goodie bags that will be given out in the end. We will also be doing the Twister Hopscotch game for our part of the party. I need parent volunteers to help me. I need probably at least 2 at all times, if you would like to rotate. I also will need someone to walk around with the boys. This will be exactly like last time as far as rotating from game to game. Also, if anyone has an additional Twister Hopscotch game, please let me know. Or even a regular Twister. That way we can split the group up then after so long, they can switch games.
November 1st – Pack Meeting - We will be doing the opening flag ceremony.
November 6th – Scouting For Food Bag Drop off. After we drop off bags, we will also go around and do a show and sale. Please let me know who will and will not be going, that way I know on how many to plan for.
November 13th – Scouting for Food Back Pick up and Roller Skating. We will be picking up bags that morning and then going roller skating in the afternoon. The pack will only be paying for the boys that helped with Scouting For Food. If you do not help, you will need to pay for your boys to go.
November 15th – Art Fair. This will be during den meeting times. The boys that need to do an original art piece (not one done at school) to submit. Please refer to the Artist activity badge that way the boys can incorporate the requirements in their artwork to help with them getting their activity badge.
As always, if you have any problems or concerns, please let me know.
