If your boys are like mine, they're very anxious to get some of those belt loops that they keep hearing about and seeing the older scouts wearing. Well, they will finally get their chance at the November pack meeting (Wednesday, November 23 at 7:00 PM in Visitation Hall)!
The Pack has decided to pay for five (5) belt loops for every cubscout each year they are in the pack. So, if they continue on to be Wolf Scouts and Bear Scouts, they will have the opportunity to earn 15 belt loops (paid for by the Pack).
There is a link on the Den website to the belt loop requirements. All of the requirements should be listed there (except for the archery and bb-gun shooting belt loops, which can only be earned at a Council sponsored camp or JamboRama).
There is no paperwork for you to fill out. Simply look over the list of belt loops and their requirements. Then send me an e-mail of up to 5 belt loops that your son has earned and would like to receive at the November pack meeting.
If they haven't earned a total of 5 belt loops yet, or if you would rather they not get their allotment for the year all at one time, we'll hand them out again at another pack meeting in the Spring.
If they've earned more than 5 belt loops already, help them narrow their list down to the 5 they really want to receive first. If you want them to receive more than 5 in a single year, you can reimburse the pack for the cost of the additional belt loops, and we'll award them in the Spring. But remember, they can probably only fit so many loops on their belts, and it might be a good idea to give them something to look forward to earning over the next two years they're in scouts.
So, please send me your list of up to 5 belt loops as soon as you can (I'll have to get them ordered from the Scout Store). And if you have any questions, please let me know.
