September 20 - 1st Den Meeting

Our first den meeting will be Tuesday, September 20th at 7:00 PM in the basement of Hendrick's Hall.

The theme for this meeting will be the Bobcat Trail and "Making My Family Special."

Before the meeting, please review the Bobcat requirements in the Tiger Cub Handbook (pp 29-34).  We will also go over these during the meeting.  The plan is for all the boys to receive their Bobcat badge at the next pack meeting in October.

At this meeting we will also be starting our Tiger Cub family scrapbooks (Achievement 1D).  You and your tiger cub are encouraged to keep your scrapbook updated with pictures and mementos from some of your scouting achievements and experiences throughout the year.  We'll try to make time at some of our future den meetings for the boys to bring their scrapbooks in for "show and tell."

Please bring the following scrapbook supplies with you to the meeting:

• Three ring binder
• One or more family pictures (to be cut and glued into the scrapbook)
• Stickers (or other items to decorate the cover and inside of your scrapbook)

I will bring white copy paper, some colored construction paper and a three-hole punch.  I will also try to bring some crayons, markers, scissors and glue sticks to share.  You may also wish to bring in your own paper, markers, scissors, and other supplies to work with or share - the more we have on hand, the better!

Also, if scrapbooking is one of your hobbies, please feel free help lead this activity!  If you have your own special scrapbooking talents, techniques or supplies, now would be the time to show them off and share with the rest of the den!

Finally, I'd like to have a fun activity for the boys to do outside, while we take care of some "parent" business (I'll have a sign up sheet for everyone to volunteer to lead an activity or "Go See It" at each of our future den meetings).  I will bring a washer toss game, which is fun, easy and quick to setup.  If anyone else has a washer toss set they could bring, we could get several games going at once. Or, you may wish to bring another favorite "backyard" game (but please let me know, if you're planning on bringing a game - we don't need 20 different things).

See you Tuesday!
