Christmas Party and Arrow of Light Ceremony

Alex was awarded the Arrow of Light at our December Pack meeting!  We are so proud of his accomplishment!  After the ceremony, the dens had a great time competing to see who could do the best job decorating their den leaders (who were pretending to be trees).  It was a night filled with laughter and we appreciate the den leaders being such good sports.  We ended with treats!

Seasonal Den Projects

The Cubs and Webelos were busy guys!  They sculpted, sanded, painted, and mixed as they prepared for Christmas and met badge requirements.   The Webelos also put the finishing touches on their bows! 

Den Meeting Fun

The Webelos worked on their art pin, the Wolves worked on learning the rules for tool safety, and the Bears practiced their Feats of Strength. 

November Den Meetings

These are just a few captured moments from our fun in November!

Basketball Clinic

The boys had a fantastic time learning and practicing basketball drills and played a quick game.

Recyling, Rockets, and Charades

The Wolves learned about recycling in our community.


The Bears played charades and continued to talk about safety.


The Webelos worked on the finishing touches for their rockets.

Rockets

We had a lot of boys sick last week. The Webelos that were able to attend worked on their rockets. The Bears talked about emergency preparedness. The Wolves were fishing. Do any leaders or parents have pics of the fishing trip to share?

Fun and Games

The Wolves shared their collections and then learned how to play marbles.


The Bears learned about individual sports and tried their hand at golf.


The Webelos worked on their Fitness badge and then played a game of ball in the gym.

Cub Scout Fun

The Wolves had a fun time working on collections boxes.



The Bears had a fun time learning the rules to sports and playing a soccer game.

Kick-off the New Year!

We kicked things off to a great start this week. We started out making paper footballs as our gathering activity.


After a brief discussion and object lesson involving football and the Faith in God program, we divided into dens. The leaders spoke with the parents and Webelos about the upcoming year.


The Wolves and Bears made posters for the pack meeting with the Cubmaster.

Then we ended by eating yummy football shaped KK doughnuts! Go SCOUTS!

25 Day Challenge Champions

On August 1st we challenged the Cub Scouts to earn 25 signatures in their books in 25 days as they counted down to the beginning of school. All 9 of the cubs who accepted the challenge met the challenge! I was so proud of them. The reward for all their hard work? A Wii and pizza party the Friday night after school started. We set up 3 Wiis and let the boys rotate through after each round, so everyone got to play with everyone else. We even had cupcakes that looked like Mario Mushrooms. Thanks, Sister Schell!

Feats of Strength

Our cubs competed in several relay races and feats of strength this week.

Ultimate Frisbee

Pack 901 had a fun time playing Ultimate Frisbee together this week. Afterwards we enjoyed popsicles together.

Here is a site with Ultimate Frisbee Rules.

I Scream, You Scream....

We all scream for ICE CREAM!!!!

After a fun night playing football and volleyball outside, our boys made homemade ice cream in Ziploc Baggies. The boys had fun making their own treats and enjoyed eating their yummy creations before it melted in the sweltering heat.

What you'll need:

* 1 tablespoon sugar
* 1/2 cup milk or half & half
* 1/4 teaspoon vanilla
* 6 tablespoons rock salt
* 1 pint-size plastic food storage bag (e.g., Ziploc)
* 1 gallon-size plastic food storage bag
* Ice cubes

How to make it:

1. Fill the large bag half full of ice, and add the rock salt. Seal the bag.
2. Put milk, vanilla, and sugar into the small bag, and seal it.
3. Place the small bag inside the large one, and seal it again carefully.
4. Shake until the mixture is ice cream, which takes about 5 minutes.
5. Wipe off the top of the small bag, then open it carefully. Enjoy!
