Last night, the Pack held its first meeting with D.L. at the helm!
In spite of a few hitches, the event was a hit.
We were especially glad to welcome Mr. Vince Bath from the GSLC. He not only set up a Space Derby demo, but he also brought a free derby rocket for each child in attendance!
Thank you, Mr. Vince!
The boys were eager to get rocketeering. But before we could start, everyone was served a heaping helping of safety and instruction.
Finally, it was time to test them out!
Getting the rocket wound up and on the wire turned out to be a bit tricky.
But once the boys got the hang of it, they were off to the races!
By the end of the night, there was a room full of youthful smiles and only a few missing fingers.
The boys really enjoyed themselves in spite of the occupational hazards of Space Derby. ;-)
As for the recruitment drive, I'm pleased to say that at least two new boys were brought into the fold. I'm not too sure as to which Den they'll be assigned to, but the Pack has grown nonetheless!
Kudos and thanks must go to all the folks that came together to make this happen. So to the Pack Leaders and Mr. Vince, we say "Take a bow!"
Ok, back to business...
This week's Den Meeting will be held this Saturday (Oct. 27) at the home of our beloved Assistant Den Leader, L.W. Starting time will be 10:00 am.
We'll be learning all about hand tools, tool safety and working with wood. (Cool, no?)
The activity will fill the requirement for Wolf Achievement #5, "Tools for Fixing and Building." (WHB, pp. 64-69)
The weather should be brisk, but pleasant. Make sure to bundle up.
Our ADL lives in the Medical Plaza Townhouses at the base of the Medical Towers.
Check your e-mail for more detailed directions.
I hope to see you all there.
Oh, before I forget!
Along with the announcement and directions for this week's Den Meeting, I'll also be sending out an advanced four-week schedule for all of the Den's upcoming activities.
Please e-mail me with any questions, comments or concerns.
Toodleloo!
