March Madness!

What an awesome February we had! From Derby to Birdhouses, I know that my son loves these aspects of scouting.

Do you know we only have 9 more meetings of regular scouts? That isn’t very many to get everything accomplished so that all earn a Bear Patch. According to my records, we have Achievements 7, 11, & part of 21 to finish up and everyone will get their patch. Hmmm....actually, that’s not right. Each scout is missing at least something in the way of achievements. So on Mar 27, we will be having a clean up day, where scouts can work on missing projects. Some of the projects we did cannot be done in den and will need parental help to complete them.

So what do we do when we finish the achievements? There are many electives to complete and we will be working on belt loops & pins. We will also be earning the Leave No Trace patch & hopefully the World Conservation Patch. Attached is the current achievements for your scout. If you find any inconsistancies, please let me know.

On March 13, we will be visiting the Police/Fire Station. We will meet there (city hall front lobby) at 6:00pm for the tour.

March 20 there will be no meeting due to church services. We will meet on the 27th, even though it is in the middle of Spring Break.

Here is a head’s up: on April 17, our den will be meeting at the Fire Station. We have secured approval to have the Bears go UP in the bucket fire truck. This will require a signed permission slip from every scout to ride. If the scout does not have a signed slip (I will send home on April 3), he will not be able to go up. Sorry, no exceptions. This night we will also be doing A11 this night.
