This week in Scouts.

This week was quite hectic at our new location. I think planned on too much "book work" and not enough fun for the boys. I guess you live and learn. Anyway, on Thursday we started Achievement 2: Your Flag. We discussed the Pledge of Allegiance and the meaning of all the words. We learned about the United States and Ohio flags including the symbolism in each. We talked about how to properly display the flag and how to care for it. Next week we will complete this section and weather permitting we will have an outdoor flag ceremony. In addition, we will review some of Achievement 9 which you should be working on at home. Finally we will completed the requirements for the Map and Compass Belt Loop. We will review, for most, how a compass works and how to use it along with a map to find get from one place to another.

Up Coming Events:

1. On Tuesday, Oct. 20th we will be hanning out Scouting For Food grocery bags in a neighborhood near Ft. Meig's Elementary. Boys should be in their uniforms at at Ft. Meig's School Parking lot at 6:15PM. It would be helpful to have 4 parents help out. We should be done by 7:15PM.

2. Remember to work on the Raingutter Regatta Boats for our pack meeting on Oct. 22nd at Ft. Mieg's Elementary

3. On Nov. 5th we will not be able to meet at Frank due to Parent-Teacher Conferences. Instead of our normal den meeting we will be meeting at one of the other leader's home to make glass slides for the boy's neckerchiefs. It is a neat project and the other Wolf den did them last year. The cost is $4 per boy and I can collect it whenever you have it.
