October Den Meeting Followup

Dear Tiger Cub Parents,

I was glad to see so many of you last night at our second den meeting, especially considering the last minute change in date and the cold, wet weather.

We started the "Keeping Myself Healthy and Safe" unit by making healthy food pyramids (Achievement 3D).  If you were unable to attend the meeting, please complete this activity on your own at home.

Before our next den meeting, please complete the family activities by planning and practicing a family fire drill and talking about what to do if your Tiger Cub ever becomes lost or separated from his family (Achievements 3Fa and 3Fb). 

Please keep in mind these important dates for upcoming events:

Oct 26: Pack Meeting/Halloween Party (6:30 PM in the Cafeteria).  All of the boys will be receiving their Bobcat Badge at this meeting!

Oct 30: Go See It: Hike in the Park (12:30 PM at E.P. Tom Sawyer Park). Bring a lunch.  We will be completing Achievement 5G and collecting leaves for our November den meeting.

I think we're off to a great start for the year!  Hopefully, you and your boys are having fun in Tiger Scouts.  As always, please let me know, if you have any questions, comments or concerns.

October 30 - Go See It: Hike in E.P. Tom Sawyer Park

Dear Tiger Cub Parents,

Mindy M. (Nicholas' mom) has planned our next Go See It for Sunday, October 30th, at 12:30 PM at E.P. Tom Sawyer Park.  We will be going on a hike in the Park! 

 

Directions to E.P. Tom Sawyer Park: Take Freys Hill Rd. Go to main entrance parking.  We will meet at the picnic shelter/playground.  Bring a sack lunch and plenty of water. We will eat lunch first and go over hiking safety.  We will leave for the hike around 1:00 or 1:15.  This is a BEAUTIFUL hike! The hike takes about an hour to walk.  We will also stop a few times to observe nature and collect leaves to make leaf rubbings at our next den meeting. We should be back to the parking lot no later than 3:00 PM.  This is a very easy hike.  There are few hills, and our biggest obstacle is roots to step over.  There are also a lot of squishy mud areas as well, so please don't wear your good shoes!

I don't think we need to take water with us, if we hydrate well before we go.  You are more than welcome to bring it if you wish.  Every scout needs an adult partner and siblings are welcome if you feel they are old enough to handle the hike.

This activity will fulfill Achievement 5G, along with the Hiking belt loop.

October 26 - Pack Halloween Party

October 19 - Den Meeting

Dear Tiger Cub Parents,

Our next den meeting will be held on Tuesday, October 18th 19th, at 7:00 PM in Visitation Hall (cafeteria) at St. Albert the Great.  Please bring your popcorn order forms and a check made payable to "Pack 327" for the entire sum of all your orders, as the orders are due by October 19th.

Don't forget that your scouts may wear their uniforms to school on the day of our den meeting.

At this meeting, we will be working on achievement 3D, drawing a food pyramid.  By now, everyone should have completed all three of the "Making My Family Special" achievements in the Tiger Handbook.  As you complete each achievement with your scout, please sign the appropriate page in their handbook.  I will be checking everyone's books and handing out beads for their totems at the den meeting.

Also, the October pack meeting has been rescheduled to October 26th from 6:30 to 8:00 PM.  This will be our pack Halloween party.  There will be a pumpkin decorating contest, and the boys may wear their costumes for trunk or treating!
