Good pack mtg, some stuff to do at home

The boys had fun at the pack mtg tonight, and I was happy to award the boys their pins.  There are many boys that need to do just one more thing to finish up the requirements for the Craftsman pin.  Here is what the requirements say: 

Make four useful items using materials other than wood that you and your Webelos den leader agree on, such as clay, plastic, leather, metal, paper, rubber, or rope. These should be challenging items and must involve several operations.

Do this, let your den leader know, and you'll earn your Craftsman pin at the next pack mtg.  This will be a theme throughout the year:  we can only do so much at the den mtgs, the rest has to be finished at home.  Please let David Holly, your den leader, know if you have any questions.  Thanks!

Good time making walking sticks!

We had a good time making walking sticks in preparation for our campout at Camp Thunder this coming weekend!  Our scouts did well drilling the holes for their lanyards and Mr. Wamer, Mr. Serrano, and others did well helping guide the boys to tying their lanyards and making sure their sticks were squared away.  Good job!

We built duck boxes!


We had fun at our den meeting last night.  Mr. David Wamer brought the pieces and the tools in and walked our Webelos through building two duck boxes.  The boys did really well, working together as two teams.  As you can see they turned out great!  Our plan is to put them up for use sometime in January or February.  Thanks, Mr. Wamer!
