Chess!

It's not just for nerds!

Our den learned how to play chess last weekend, and I am personally very impressed by their efforts. They played well and fairly, and everyone put in 100%.







The rules are explained...











And the games begin!










L.W. helps the boys with their game!











Everyone cooperated so well. Those who were experiences were helping those who didn't know how to play well yet!









By the end, I hope that all of the boys feel more comfortable with the game of chess!

Tall Tales!

A couple weeks ago, the boys worked on some of their advancements, specifically the one regarding the telling of Tall Tales. We went over what Tall Tales are all about, and after Leader T. Z. gave an example, the boys were invited up to tell their own! They were a little shy about it, but I think T.Z. mentioned them possibly getting another chance in the future...




T.Z. tells his Tall Tale about his time in the army!












D.S. was the only boy to stand up and give his own rendition that day! He did an excellent job.












Additionally, it should be noted that our den has been given the NATIONAL DEN AWARD! Congratulations, boys! You've all worked very hard, and now it can be displayed proudly on our flat!
