Bears Visit Nature Realm

On Wed, 10/22/08, the Bear Den visited the Nature Realm on Smith Road in Akron. The boys got a tour of the building and a short hike led by a Metro Parks naturalist, where they learned about birds, bees, and bucks rubbing trees. Everybody who attended got a buckeye as a souvenir. Many of the boys stayed after to join the hiking club with Mr. Ahearn, where they hiked 1.3 miles in the park.

Announcements-

The Ezzie family will host our next Den meeting on Nov 12 at their house. It sounds like a load of fun-here is the description and directions:

No Den Meeting 10/8/08

Hello-
The Cub Scout leaders met last night and made some plans that I want to pass along:

1) The Bear Den WILL NOT MEET Oct 8 (next Wed). (See below for why)
2) We will next meet with the whole pack Oct 15 at 7PM at the Copley Middle School cafeteria. Pack meetings tend to take 1-1.5 hours. Families are invited. Please make sure your scout is wearing his uniform, with the shirt tucked in.
3) At the pack meeting new scouts can fill out an application form. We also need the $40 dues fee if you have not yet paid-and you can bring that to the pack meeting.
4) On Oct 22, we will meet at the Naturealm at 4PM. After the presentation to the Bears Den, the whole pack will join us at 530 for a short hike. If your scout is not yet part of the hiking club-this will be his initiation. If he already participates, this will count toward his 5 miles to earn a hiking staff. Because we are doing these 2 events on the 22nd, we decided to cancel the Den meeting on the 8th (#1 above).
5) Popcorn for show and sell will be available for pickup at Mr. Lejano's house this Sat (10/4) after 1PM. I will send out directions to Mr. Lejano's house in a subsequent email
6) Several of you asked about this year's Pinewood Derby-it will be held in March.

That's all for now-don't hesitate to email me (londraville@gmail.com) or call (330-990-1310) if you have questions.
