September Den Meeting

We had our 1st Den Meeting tonight.

The meeting was called to order by Den Leader Dan. We said the Pledge of Allegiance and we all said the Cub Scout Promise. We talked about the meaning of the Cub Scout Promise while we did our Cub Scout Handshakes. We also said the Law of The Pack and talked about it's meaning and Webelos - We'll be loyal Scouts. We ended this portion of the meeting by doing our Cub Scout Salute and the Cub Scout Motto - Do Your Best.

We reviewed our rules for the meetings.

Be polite.
Listen and show respect to your leaders, helpers and other adults.
No leaving the gym without permission.
Learn Den Master Dan's Hand Signals and follow them.
Ask questions if you don't understand something.

Assistant Den Leader Dana talked with the boys about personal safety and also online safety. We had a short what-if session and the boys answered what you should if something where to make you uncomfortable or that you felt was wrong.

Den Leader Dan lead the boys in Feats of Skill. They all did really well and worked so hard. They didn't know they were working they were having so much fun tumbling on the mats.

Assistant Den Leader Dana read the story - Brave Little Indians while the boys did hand gestures and foot stomping to accent the story. It was really cute and they did a great job on this also. We might even use it for a skit.

Time to cool down and have a snack of grapes and string cheese.

Our Make-It Activity this meeting was to make Leaf Suncatchers with clear contact paper. The boys learned to identify the leaves and seeds of various trees. Oak, Maple, Gum and Pine. They placed them on their sticky contact paper and added a ribbon to top it off.



We closed the meeting with the Living Circle.

We hope to see you again at the next meeting 10/12/09. We will be honored to have the Color Guard from VFW Post 1114 teach us about the care and respect of our American Flag.
