Calendar

Hello scouts, family and caregivers. We hope everyone is doing well and safe. We wanted to try and do our first virtual Den Meeting for the Wolves! For our last scheduled meeting that was cancelled, I had purchased some "Make your own Kite" kits for the AIR OF THE WOLF elective. I would like to drop off the kites to you or you can pick up at my home. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO PARTICIPATE SO, I CAN GET THEM TO YOU.  In addition, I will be sending out individual progress reports to let you know what can be done on your own. I'm sure many of you have this covered. I just need to hear it from you. We will try to include some required adventures to get some of you caught up. As always, we will cover the basics…..Scout Oath, Scout Law and Pledge of Allegiance. So, please be prepared! I will send everyone a new email with a Zoom invitation. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate!

Yours in scouting,

Helga Bonugli

These meetings are designed for adults only and supervision is not provided for children. Thank you for your understanding!

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.
