Fun reviewing fire safety

We had fun discussing "leave no trace" and fire safety in our den meeting tonight.  And to make sure we understood fire safety we roasted marshmallows!  The boys did good, staying back and not getting too carried away :-)  Thanks to everyone for helping make our den meeting safe and fun!

We will be working on the Outdoorsman pin during the month of December.  Click here for the worksheet (and other worksheets) so you can get stuff done at home! And either send me an email or let me know at the den meetings when your son does requirements at home - I really want all of our scouts to finish up the pins we work on!  

This month’s Parent/Committee mtg is tomorrow (Tuesday) night at 7:00pm.  We will be discussing the business of the Pack and getting ready for our Pack Christmas party.  You can get the phone number from the printed update or your den leader.  

Stuff to finish up

I mentioned at the November Pack meeting that our scouts had a couple requirements left to finish up the Artist and Scholar pins. Here's what I was thinking:

Artist: Easiest way to finish up the Artist is to do a scrapbook with your son.
Scholar: Take a look at the requirements.
Craftsman: See entry below.

Like I said at the Pack mtg we can't do everything in the den meetings to fulfill the requirements of each pin; some of it has to be done at home. This is a good thing, since it will help your son prepare for Boy Scouts, where the boys run the troop and have to manage the merit badges they are working on over the course of months. Help your son take responsibility for his own stuff; you'll be surprised how great they do!

Please let me or Susan know if you have any questions, and have your son let us know what requirements they have completed at home. Thanks!
