Webelos Den Weekly Update

Dear Webelos Den Parents:

Our weekly meeting will take place at Davis School, Tuesday at 6:30 PM.

We will continue work on the naturalist/outdoorsman/forester/LNT awards.

Please have your sons check on the status of their mealworms on a regular basis. When the carrot grows too dry, they should replace it with a fresh carrot or apple slice, as the mealworms obtain all of their water from this. They should also look for changes, as the mealworms metamorphose into pupa then into grain beetles.....and then back (via eggs) into mealworms again. I'll be asking them about their mealworms on a weekly basis as part of their work on the naturalist badge.

Looking ahead to Saturday, April 26, we will help the Kane County Forest Preserve with a tree planting service project. I will follow up with reservations with them, but I need to confirm the scouts who are participating at our next den meeting. The event should last from approximately 9:30 AM to 1:00 PM on Saturday the 26th. One additional driver would be helpful, too.

The following weekend, we will have our den campout at Elburn Forest preserve. The estimated cost is $6 for a snack on Friday, and breakfast and lunch on Saturday. I'll look for participation confirmations at the pack meeting that week.

For a family/scouting activity on May 10, you are encouraged to visit the Scout-O-Rama at Catigny. Tickets are $4 per person, or the whole family for $8. This is a chance to see scouting in action from throughout the entire Three Fires Council.

This week's meeting help: The Kampen Family. The treat: The Siarny Family.

Best regards,

Ken
