Den Update

Dear Den 7 Community:

Just a reminder that we will not have a den meeting this week; we will have a pack meeting Thursday, 23 March, at 6:30 PM at Davis School. The construction theme we have been working with in the Den will continue through the pack meeting, when we will construct model rockets.

8/10 of the den made it to the St. Patrick’s Day Parade last Saturday—I’m glad that we had such a good showing.

I am still planning on a den day at Camp Big Timber next Monday, 27 March,, from 1:00 – 4:00. Please confirm with me on Thursday if you or your son can make it. We will carry out a service project for the camp and have some fun in the wilds.

Looking ahead, I want to let you know that (having heard some rumors swirling about) my family and I will still be here this fall and beyond. I received an appointment to the faculty at Roosevelt University starting in the fall, so I will be able to return to higher education. Given that, I don’t want to predict what that will mean for my role as den leader next year—I hope to continue, but with the potential for evening classes and meetings and such--I’ll be looking for an “official” assistant den leader—or you can have the den leader title and I’ll be the assistant. Regardless of titles, I want the boys to continue to have a good experience in Cub Scouting.

Good luck to Rebecca and her walk this summer…

I’ll publish a calendar for the rest of the spring and summer shortly, so we can get all of the den and pack’s activities on our schedules.

My best to all,

Ken
