Pinewood Derby Cars ~ HELP Available
Brian Paulson has agreed to help the boys cut out their derby cars. If you are interested we are meeting Saturday, March 7, 2009 at 10:00am at his house. The boys must have their DESIGN already drawn on the car. If they want to rough sand it at his house & get some tips have them bring some sand paper (the course kind I'm guessing, not fine).
Reminder: Blue & Gold Banquet this Tuesday at 7:00pm at the church. RSVP to Casey Robison the number of people from your family that are attending (for food count).
Police Department Field Trip for Bears & Wolf
Our "Go See It" Field trip for March will be on the 10th. We will be going to the Liberty Lake Police Department (their new building) and learning how to do finger printing. We will meet at our house at 4:15pm SHARP, so we can be at the Police Department by 4:30pm. We will come back to our house to finish up & should be done at 5:30pm.
3rd Den Meeting ~ February 10th
The Bear Den made Neckerchief Slides out of craft foam in the shape of a state. Jacob chose Texas, Dillon & Devin chose Washington State, Spring chose MN, Dave chose Oregon.
The Boys took a break by jumping on the trampoline!
They had fun making faces at the camera. Next week we will start our Den Scrapbook. So, I have printed all of these photos to add to their scrapbook. If you have any pictures of the boys doing scouting activities, please send with them to the next meeting.

We checked out a bunch of books from the library for the boys to read & learn about our Flag, the Statue of Liberty, The Presidents, The Bald Eagle, etc. Jacob shared some Cool facts about the Bald Eagle, Dillon & Devin shared some facts about the Statue of Liberty.
At home this week if the boys could think of what makes America Special to them and share it next week at Den Meeting, that would be great!
We will be going on a field trip to the Mac Museum this Saturday. This will complete an achievement for the boys and hopefully will give them more insight to American History and history from our Area.
2nd Den Meeting ~ February 3rd
This meeting the boys brought their books so we could get their achievements recorded & get their awards up to date. The theme this month is American ABC's and it is the Blue & Gold Banquet. Those boys completed the "which state" activity, sang the "Grand Ole Duke of York" & Made invitations to parents & leaders for the Banquet.
Jacob earned his Bobcat Badge and chose to receive his Badge at the Den meeting instead of waiting for the pack meeting.

Mckay led our Den in a flag ceremony, completing Achievement 2b in the Wolf Book. McKay also completed two electives while making his invitations (by making & using a stencil and by free hand drawing a picture on one of the cards. 12a & 12e) 
Ethan received his Bobcat Badge as well (for Tiger Cubs) and by making 24 valentines and Ocean Bottom Crackers for our Den snack he completed two electives. We have the Achievement poster posted on our Den bulletin board, so the boys can see their progress every week.
Devin, Jacob & Dillon completed Elective 23 in the bear hand book at this meeting. The boys learned about identify states on a US Map. They also drew maps from their homes to their schools. The boys also finished their Code of Conduct, adding consequences & rewards. The boys thought a good consequence would be cleaning toilets, cleaning house or timeout. Though they opted that if they were the ones misbehaving that they would be able to choose their own consequence instead of letting their den mates choose for them, cause we know the boys would pick toilets every time for others! The boys are very well behaved and follow their Den Code of Conduct very well. 
They do have BIG appetites! I have discovered that they love grapes & crackers, but don't like peanut butter & celery or cheese!

McKay should learn about our state flag and share with the den at an upcoming meeting to meet one of his achievements.
Need ~ We need someone to come to a den meeting this month & show us how to fold a flag properly (I was in the military for ten years, but I can't remember for the life of me how to do it properly).
1st Den Meeting ~ January 20th.
This was our first den meeting as the new Den Leaders. The theme for January was Amazing Games. We worked on completing Achievements in the Bear & Wolf books by playing games. McKay led us in the Pledge of Allegiance, Devin led us in the Cub Scout Promise and Dillon said the prayer. We took pictures of the cub scouts so that we could put their picture on our Den display board and write a little information about each boy, so they could get to know each other better.
We asked the boys what they wanted to learn about in cub scouts, they said: "Dinosaurs, Go to Museum's and Politics". The Games we played: Sleeping Lions, Human Knot, Honey do you love me.
We created our Den Code of Conduct ~ Rules the boys come up with for the Den, for them all to abide by. They did a really good job.
1st Pack Meeting ~ January 27th
This Month's Theme was Amazing Games. At pack meeting the boys played a bean bag toss, relay race and a game where they had to work together by holding ropes tied to a stick and balance a ball on the stick while walking.
Question for Parents
Do the boys have memberships to the YMCA?
Blue & Gold Banquet is Feb. 24th at 7:00pm. Boys need to wear uniform & bring a bag of chips.
Pinewood Derby is March 24th. I have pinewood derby cars if you would like to pick up now & work on them. Parents can do the heavy machinery part, but boys have to do the rest.
Boys can record their community service hours at www.goodturnforamerica.org
