First Meeting of Bear Den

Welcome to the Pack 3384 Bear Den blog! We had our first den meeting 9/24/08 and welcomed 3 new Bears-Alex, Ayman, and Nathaniel. That brings the den to 11 scouts-maybe the most in the pack. We began the meeting by welcoming the new scouts into the pack and helping them earn their Bobcat badge (parents-don't forget to go over the Child Protection Exercises with your son on p. 21 of the Bobcat Trail in the Bear handbook. If you need a uniform, you can get one at the scout store, which is 1601 S. Main St. in Akron, 330-773-4078).

After that Mr. Osborne led the boys through the map elective and Dr. Londraville talked to the parents. Finally the boys got to play with some dry ice (picture above).

Some important reminders:

This Saturday 9/27/08 from 10-2 the scouts are invited to the Bath Nature Preserve Open House. Dr. Londraville will be shocking fish in the stream at 12 noon, and there are many other activities for the scouts. Directions here http://www3.uakron.edu/biology/fieldstation/

Oct 22 is our 'Sharing the World with Wildlife' Achievement with the Osbornes at the Naturealm in Akron. We will meet at the Naturealm at 4 PM (975 Treaty Line Rd, Akron - (330) 865-8065). We know this is early, but it was the only time they had. If you can't make it, let us know and we might be able to make arrangements to pick up your son at school.

Dues for the year are $40, which includes the book and neckerchief. If you are going to the store for the uniform and want to pick up the book and neckerchief yourself, the fee is only $30.

We will pick up popcorn at Mr. Lejano's house Oct. 4. More details to follow.

Our next den meeting will be at the pack meeting, which is 10/15 at 7 PM at the Copley Middle School.

Our tentative schedule for the year is:
