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 to show off for the judges, then one winner from each den was chosen. Tim had gotten glow necklaces for the winners.

Then came something I had forgotten about being planned for tonight. Jay and one of the den leaders did a skit called Falling Rock. They were going to do it at the campout a few weeks ago but that didn't work out, so they decided to do it tonight instead. It went over really well.

Then finally it was time for games! I posted parent volunteers at each of the five stations, to supervise the games and hand out the candy for prizes.

There was a beanbag toss, ring toss, and fish pond. A game where they had to toss washers into a pie tin. And one called Marble Sharpshooter where they had to roll a marble in between two glass jars without hitting them. All these (except for the fish pond) were in the Wolf handbook as electives.

Finally the candy for the game prizes was depleted and everybody headed home. A few parents helped clean up, so that didn't take too long.

Next week we go on a field trip to the Police Station!

Review of electives completed tonight: 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d, (those were the four games the boys played) and 9a, which was to help with a party, which the Wolves did by preparing the games.
