Den 6

These are October's achievements:

Achievement 4 - Know your home and community. We did 4a-4d at the den meeting, 4e is to be completed at home and 4f will be our next go-see-it. For 4e, the boys can bring their job chart with them to the next den meeting.

Achievement 5 - Tools for Fixing and Building. The boys completed all of this, 5a-5e last Saturday. If you were absent, this can be completed at home, or attend a woodworking workshop at Lowes or Home Depot.

Achievement 9 - Be safe at home and on the street. All of this needs to be completed at home, pages 82 - 87 in the wolf handbook.

If the boys complete all 3 by the next Den meeting, they will receive their first wolf track bead. Make sure they color in the wolf prints in their handbook, we will be checking!

Next Den meeting is November 11th at parks and rec at 6.30, next pack meeting is Friday 20th at PES.

PLANNING FOR GO-SEE-ITS AND ACTIVITIES

This year we would like the parents to be more involved with the activities, to ensure we keep fresh ideas coming and the boys engaged.. Please take a look at the program overview at the end of this email or in the Wolf handbook, and let us know if you would like to organise a specific activity at a Den meeting, or a go-see-it. There are no specific go-see-its suggested in the Wolf program, so we are flexible with our outings. Some ideas for go-see-its are;

Oct - Collecting - program run at a baseball card store in Seymour

Nov - Woodworking - workshop at Home Depot/Lowes

Dec - Stop and Shop/Shaws education visit

Jan - Police/Ambulance Station

Feb - Recycling plant

March - Airport or aviation related

April - Zoo or animal rescue center.

Let us know your ideas!

This (together with popcorn and other fundraising) goes towards achievement badges and beltloops, graduation, magazine subscription, blue and gold dinner, campout and a percentage for our den for activity supplies.
