The Air Up There!







Here are a few pics of the Bear Den at the Fire Station. The boys had fun and the firemen were very nice. A great big thanks goes to Terry & Michelle Jones for orchestrating the meeting.



Tuesday

Countdown has begun!!!

Lots of fun last month!!! For a short month, we accomplished a whole mess of achievements and cleaned up some that were missing. Can you believe that we only have 6 regular meetings before Scout Graduation? Yikes!

We have a great Spring planned and hope to have everyone’s cooperation to finish the last of our Achievements. After the trip to the fire station on the 17th, the den will have completed all the requirements for the Bear badge. In fact, some boys have already completed the requirements. The Scouts will need to finish up at home what has not been completed in den. I think that we will be having another work day for the scouts in May so they can finish up.

Special Events:
April 12 - Annual Pack Swim at the YMCA. We will be in the pool from 1-2:30. This completes E19 and the Swimming belt loop and pin if the scout has not earned it.
April 17 - Fire Station visit. Yes, we did just meet there, but this time we get to go up in the bucket truck! However, we will need a signed permission slip for each scout, no exceptions. No slip, no ride.
April 24 - Camping Meeting. We will be overnighting as a pack on Friday, April 25 at Francis Park. Anyone camping (scouts and parents) will need to attend this meeting. We will be going over the camping agenda. Those Bears wanting to earn the Outdoor Activity Award and the Leave No Trace Award need to go on the camp out.
April 25 - Pack Camp Out. Every scout is encouraged to attend. Every scout must have at least 1 parent camping with them. We will meet between 5:30-6:00. We will eat dinner, campfire fun, and breakfast on Sat. Then we will be doing some activities about the outdoors.
May 3 - Baker Park Clean Up. We will be meeting at 10am at the gates to Baker Park. Each scout needs to wear old clothes and work gloves, bring an adult, and a rake if possible. This conservation project is needed for those who want to earn the World Conservation Award.
May 10 - Food Drive. We will once again be helping the Kewanee Food Pantry by collecting food on mail routes. We need to know how many scouts and drivers will be available for the morning and/or afternoon routes.

It looks like we don’t do anything but special events! Let’s make this last bit of scouting for the year something to be proud of!
