Calendar

Mr, Troy Adams will be our guest to head this meeting on the Whittling chip requirement.  One parent is requested to attend this meeting with their scout as we go over the safety requirements of using a knife along with some knife using techniques.  Please arrange for a bar of soap and a good quality plastic knife for this meeting.  Zoom Meeting Invite will be sent out by 5pm on Tuesday June 9th 2020 (Same day as the meeting).

Hi Tiger den – Please join us for our June virtual den meeting!  In this meeting, we will be earning our "Tiger Jungle" requirement and playing a fun game.   In prep for the meeting, please work with your scout to do the following:

1) With a parent/guardian, go outside and listen for the sounds of nature.  Pick out at least two sights or sounds of nature that your scout can discuss at the den meeting

2) Go on a "1 foot hike".  This can be done in your yard or any local park.  Mark off 1 square foot – ideally something that looks interesting.  Look closely at what you see – a magnifying glass could help!  Look for things like bugs, pebbles, worms, insect eggs etc.  Write down what you see and discuss at the den meeting.

I'll send out a zoom invite via email the night before!

Thanks,

Steve

PS – I'm planning a den outing for July; it will be a bike ride.  More to come on that.

September Committee Meeting

Location:  Stephanie to send Zoom meeting invite in advance of meeting

Hi Wolf Den – Just a reminder about our den meeting tomorrow!  Please don't forget to bring your mask.

Steve

Please join us for our first Wolf Den Meeting!  We will be meeting at the Great Swamp Information Center at the Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge, located at 220 Long Hill Rd, Harding Township NJ.  We will begin with a tiny bit of outdoor education (Outdoor code, buddy system) and then take an approximate 2 mile hike, with lots of wildlife viewing opportunities including reptile, amphibians and birds.  On the hike, we will be looking to find 2 things that we've never seen before and will discuss as a den at the end of the hike. This will allow the boys to complete their "Paws on the Path" Requirement.  

Be sure to bring your 6 essentials for a hike:  small first aid kit, water bottle, flashlight, trail food, sun protection and whistle.
