Our Journey Through Cub Scouts (The Year of the Wolf).

This blog is my little place to describe the ups and downs of our experiences in Cub Scouts. Since Joshua's in the second grade, that makes him a Wolf Cub! Read along and please feel free to share your experiences as well.

While reading, you may encounter these names and/or their abbreviations:

Tim - CM - our Cubmaster, the person who oversees the entire pack
Jay - ACM - our Assistant Cubmaster, who is also my husband
Christie - DL - our Den Leader, the person who is in charge of our Wolf den (Yes, that would be me.

I think I might be crazy!)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

<------- Over there in the sidebar are some abbreviated versions of my end-of-the-year posts from our year in Tiger Cubs. I will keep the Suggestions post updated to let you know if any of them are adopted.

Pack Meeting

Tim was out of town on business, so Jay was put in charge of tonight's meeting. It had been raining off and on all afternoon and evening, so we were wondering if some people might just stay at home tonight. As it turned out, almost everybody was there, it just took them a while to show up! We had gotten there a little early to set up the room, and we started about 10 minutes late because there was hardly anybody there at 6:30.

Readin' and Reelin'

This morning I finally got around to doing with Joshua one of the things I had assigned a couple of weeks ago. (Achievement 7e) We were supposed to read three stories about people who are helping the environment and discuss them. I had two newspaper articles and one magazine article/advertisement.

One of the newspaper articles was about a light-bulb distribution locally that was being sponsored by the government of Venezuela. They hand...

Den Meeting

We seemed pretty light on attendance tonight, I guess it is just that time of year where people are getting sick more often.

First up, there was only one Tiger in attendance, so we started out our den meeting with them for a flag ceremony and one quick activity for the Tigers. James finally had his turn to carry the US flag.

When we had the chance to go into our own meeting room, we had quite a lot of stuff to work on. I don't...

Work Day at the Nature Center

Posted 11-12-2009 at 09:25 PM by christiejay (Our Journey Through Cub Scouts (The Year of the Wolf))

Saturday
November 7

This service project had been scheduled last year. But at that week's meeting when I asked about the details, Tim admitted that he had forgotten all about it.

It never got rescheduled.

Our local nature center is one of my favorite places, and I was determined not to be a no-show this year. I emailed the volunteer coordinator to let him know some of us would be there, and to see what kind of projects he had that would be appropriate...

Field Trip to the Police Station

Posted 11-03-2009 at 09:31 PM by christiejay (Our Journey Through Cub Scouts (The Year of the Wolf))

Monday
November 2

Our first field trip of the year! We started the meeting with our regular opening ceremony and a few announcements. I passed out some info about a toy drive for the childrens' hospital that all scouts in our area have been encouraged to participate in. Then I explained what we'll be doing at our work day at the local nature center this Saturday. You'll be sure to hear about those things in the future!

Then it was off to the police station....
