Some scouts already have the required number of badges
for their Arrow
of Light and the others only needing 1 or 2
more. We will be covering
the other requirements at den
meetings. I will also schedule a
night to attend a Boy Scout
troop meeting with Mr. Jeff and Troop 247
for our final
requirement.
The task of achieving all 20 badges will depend on the
scout. Some
are well on their way to getting all 20 and others
have their work cut
out for them. If you are behind and want
to get caught up talk to
me and we can figure out what you will
need to do. I can talk to
the Webelos 1 leaders, Mr. Jim and
Mr. Chris, to see if they are working
on it or Joseph, our den
aide, can work with you.
We also need to determine when we are going to do our
Arrow of Light Ceremony
and our Bridging Ceremony. Looking
at the calendar the Best option
is the Arrow of Light at the Blue
and Gold on February 22nd and the Bridging
Ceremony at the
meeting on February 26th. Our other options are
the Arrow of
are the Arrow of Light at the January pack meeting and the
Bridging at the Blue and Gold. If we choose the January pack
meeting I will rearrange the schedule so we can have our puppet
show for
the showman badge at the December pack meeting
and push our Artist badge
to the extra weeks in February that
I was going to use for anything that
was last minute.
Two things that you will notice are missing from the
calendar are the
Pinewood Derby and Cabin Camping. These
events are scheduled for
after we bridge to Boy Scouts but we
have been invited to participate
if we are able.
Other than that, I just want to thank everyone in advance
for another
great year and I appreciate all of the hard work you
and your parents
will be doing this year and have already done
over the last four years.
We will again be meeting on Thursdays
nights at 7:00 at Seven Oaks and
remember the best way to
contact me is by email but call me if you need
to.
Thanks for everything,
Mr. Dave
