Hey, Hey, Hey, Goodbye...
Can you believe that it is the last month of scouts already? The bears have worked very hard, sometimes unwillingly, but hard nonetheless, to make it to Webelos.
During the next week, please go through the bear handbook with your scout. Really fine tooth comb it and mark anything they have completed. School work counts, family outings count, trips to grandma’s count; all these count toward final electives and achievements. I will be collecting the books next week (if you can get the book to me earlier, all the better) so I can make final counts and order awards. Belt loops & pins earned outside of den will have to be purchased by the parents. Belt loops earned in den will be paid for by the pack. If you can’t find your book, here are the requirements and electives for bear: http://www.boyscouttrail.com/cub-scouts/bear-scouts.asp
We will be meeting for 3 pack events in the summer. We go fishing, swimming, & camping. I will be contacting you during the summer with particulars. By attending all 3, the scout earns a special patch.
Don’t forget about Day Camp this summer July 7-11. We really encourage the scouts and parents to go. Special patches and tokens are earned. We need to know what parents would be willing to be drivers and day walkers. Please think about doing this.
Special Events:
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 (9-12:30pm) and/or afternoon (12:30-4:00) routes.
May 22 - Advancement! Families are invited to see the Bears advance to Webelo. Please bring a snack to share.

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.

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!

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.
