Webelos Den Weekly Update

Dear Webelos Parents:

Near Term

• Our meeting will take place at Davis School this week, starting promptly at 6:30 PM.
• We will continue work on the Traveler Activity Badge, preparation for Boy Scouting, and practice the games the boys and Den Chief Alex will lead during the parent meeting following our pack meeting.
• Please plan on sticking around for the meeting at 7:30 PM....I will likely ask a few of you to share with new parents, why you have encouraged your son to be a scout, and what you think it has done for him.
• Treats this week are from the Mikelson Family; Meeting help from the Corvino/Gannet Family.

Upcoming

• Pack Service activity, September 20. Sponsored by Troop 13 and Friends of the Fox River.
• Webelos-only Campout at Camp Big Timber, September 26-27 : Sponsored by the Fox Valley District, there $14 fee for each participant (youth and accompanying adult) which covers program materials and food. I sent home information last week via hard copy, so hopefully you have had a chance to look at it. We had a great time with this last year, and look forward to repeating our fun. Payment is due to me by the September 23 den meeting, so that I can drop it off at the scout office by their deadline on September 24. Please note that checks should be made out to "Three Fires Council." I would encourage participation by parent-son pairs.
• Pack Camp Out, Tomo-Chi-Chil Knolls Forest preserve, 3-4 October. More information will be presented at the Parent Meeting on Tuesday.
• Mid-October: Train Trip to Chicago. We will put our planning for the Traveler Activity Badge to work by taking a trip to Chicago via Metra...and hike to the Field Museum for work on our Art Activity Badge.
• Mammoth Cave Adventure, October 23-25. The scouts will assist in planning this event as part of our work on a number of Activity Badges.

That seems to cover it for this week...I look forward to seeing your sons and you on Tuesday.

Best regards,

Ken
