Wolf Meeting
Den 25
October 18th, 2005

Almost all Scouts are ready for Bobcat Badge
Started of Den Meeting with Cub Scout Salute and Pledge of Allegiance
Dean Mayo brought a Flag and showed all scouts how to properly fold the flag and explained why it is important to never let the Flag get dirty or touch the ground.
Went to the front of the school and practiced a flag ceremony and all scouts saluted the flag expressing the importance of being silent and saluting the flag on the way up and when it is being taken down. Then scouts practiced folding the flag again.
All Scouts Completed Achievement 2
On the way back to the room from the Flag ceremony we practiced and expressed the importance of using a cross walk. (Page 86) Explained to the scouts that it is important to help Children and Elderly safely across roads and to always look both way before they cross.
Before we ended the meeting we talked about making a collection (Page 71) and bringing it to the next meeting to share with the other scouts. Kind' a like a show and tell.
We have started using a candle to signify the light of our Den and that as long as each member follows the Cub Scout Code during the meeting then the Candle will stay lit. After the candle burns to a mark we have put on the candle, then we will plan a special treat for the scouts to signify excellent behavior and unity during the meetings.

Next Weeks Meeting
Next week I have made a Health Habits Chart on Microsoft Excel for the kids to help them achieve requirement 3a.
I have also talked to another den member about bringing and identifying common tools.
I plan on going by a Fire Dept and scheduling a tour of the fire house and trucks.
Planning to Play the game "What's in the Bag" where scouts do exercises to make sure they know all the requirements of the Bobcat so they can get there badge at the next Pack Meeting.
Plan to do a Rescue Round Robin Where the scouts can practice First Aid, Using the Phone in an Emergency, and Fire Safety
If we have anytime left over we will do the Akela Maze and will go over more stuff in the book.
Tonight is the first night I have received the "Cub Scout Program Helps" book and realize our Den would probly be better off using the book. I plan to talk to the other Den Members about being more organized and using the Program Book for activities, games, songs, and crafts.


See Ya Next Week! David Krambeck
