February 12 - Den Meeting

Dear Tiger Cub Akelas,

Our February Den Meeting will be held next Tuesday, February 12, at 6:30 PM in the basement of Hendricks Hall.  Brian C. (Elliott's dad) will be organizing our activity.

As a reminder, all of our boys should be on track to receive their Tiger Badge at the Blue & Gold Banquet on February 24.  In order to receive his Tiger Badge, each boy must complete all 15 of the achievements described in the 5 chapters of the Tiger Handbook. 

Before our den meeting on Tuesday, please work on completing the 5 at-home family achievements and catching up on any of the other den activities or Go See Its you may have missed.  For a complete list of the achievements, you may refer to your handbook or the Achievements and Electives page on our den website:

Also, I need to know which belt loops your scout would like to receive at the banquet.  As I mentioned at our last meeting, the Pack will pay for 5 belt loops each year.  You may send my your list via email. For a list of the belt loops and to see the requirements for each (click on the picture of any specific belt loop to the requirements), you may follow this link:

Finally, I've been informed that your Blue & Gold Banquet reservations ($10 per family) must be turned in by the 19th.  You may turn your money in to me at the meeting next week, or you may send it via kidmail per the flyer that was emailed previously.

As always, if you have any questions, please let me know.

See you all at the Den Meeting on Tuesday!

January Upcoming Events

Dear Tiger Cub Akelas,

Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a good holiday. I know you haven't heard from me in a while, so I just wanted to send out a quick note on upcoming events.

I've tentatively scheduled our next den meeting for 1/28 at 6:30 PM in the basement of Hendricks Hall. Our next Go See It will be to the Courier-Journal, but we're still working on firming up that date. I'll send out more detailed information on both dates soon.

Don't forget that the Pinewood Derby will be on Saturday, 1/26, with weigh-ins (optional) the night before on 1/25. Stay tuned for more information on that as well.

Finally, don't forget to work on catching up on missed achievements in the Tiger Handbook, especially the at-home family activities. Hopefully by the time we have our Blue & Gold Banquet next month, everyone has completed all three achievements in each of the five chapters, so that each boy can receive his Tiger Badge.
