A Red Hot Start

We're off to a red hot start in Den Four this year. First, I want to welcome Jack Wilson to our den. We're all glad that Jack and his dad Todd could make it. And second, a big thank you to Melissa Anderson, who used her many years of medical training to teach the boys some basic first aid. Nobody was (actually) injured in the making of this den meeting!

Keith Anderson and I are working on an fun and exciting program for the year, with the goal of making sure everybody earns their Wolf badges no later than April. We're going to tackle most - but not all - of the achievements and several electives in the den meetings. So like last year, there will be homework for you and your boys.

Right off the bat, there are three achievements that each family should plan on doing at home this year. They are Achievement 10 - Family Fun; Achievement 11 - Duty to God; and Achievement 12 - Making Choices. You have all year.

And some special homework for Avery Arasin. Avery, please plan to lead the opening flag ceremony at the next Den Meeting, on Sept. 21. See Achievement 2b in your Wolf Handbook for some ideas. Each boy will have a chance to lead the flag ceremony this year, and we'll be learning other stuff about the American and state flags too.

Out next Den Meeting is Sept. 21 at 3:30 p.m. We will meet at the sports field at Dickerson Middle School for our very own version of the Olympic games. Euston is responsible for snack. Everybody please wear a Cub Scout t-shirt. See you then.
