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.

Field Trip to the Police Station

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....

Slowly but Surely Making Progress on some Achievements

Something about being the den leader ... I can assign various things easy as pie, but for some reason keep forgetting to get them done at home with Joshua!

Today we took Joshua to a 1-mile race, so I used this opportunity of us leaving the house to do Achievement 4d. This talked about making sure you do various things before leaving home. Some you should do almost any time you leave, like turn off the lights and close and lock all...

Halloween Party

Monday

Tonight was a Pack Meeting, I had thought some new scouts would be ready for their Bobcat badge. But Tim never said anything, so I guess they're not.

Tonight was also our annual Halloween Party! After a few announcements we dug into the food - sandwiches, pizza, cocktail sausages, cupcakes, cookies, brownies, and chips and dip. Plenty of food and something for everybody.

Next was the costume contest. The boys came up by den...

Den Meeting/Fun Electives

Tonight was the "extra" den meeting night I lobbied for, when I found out that last week's meeting had been taken over by a flag retirement ceremony. Then last week the rain canceled the ceremony and we had a den meeting anyway.

So tonight was another night of piecing together a few remnants of my original lesson plans.

Only Justice and Joshua were there tonight. And since both of them have already had the chance to carry...

An Unexpected Den Meeting

Posted 10-13-2009 at 06:43 PM by christiejay (Our Journey Through Cub Scouts (The Year of the Wolf))

Monday
October 12

Tonight we had a flag retirement scheduled. We were supposed to meet at our local nature center, and one of the den leaders had this ceremony to go through with the boys, after which an old, tattered US flag would be buried. However, it has rained just about every day for the last couple of weeks, and today was no different. It probably wouldn't be raining during our meeting time, but we couldn't be sure.

So about 3 hours before the meeting...
