Snapshot of a Den Meeting: Bears

Recently, the Bears held a Den meeting. During the meeting the Scouts worked on completing one of the Bear requirements, Baloo the Builder (pg.28). Scout parents, Jason L and Michael L, led this session.

The Scouts completed the following:

1) Learn about tools & safety rules. Practice with at least four tools.

2) Select, plan and define materials for the project in requirement three.

3) Assemble the materials into one useful & fun project using wood. The Scouts each made a small tool box. (Parents, please remember to pay Duncan $4 for the materials purchased)

To be completed at home:

4) Apply a finish to the project. See page 47 in the Bear book for details.

It was a fun night of learning and doing. A big THANK YOU to Jason and Michael for leading the session. Parents, if you have a hobby, skill or passion please reach out to your Den leader to find how you can help lead a requirement session.

Important reminders for all Scouts:

Meeting tips: wear your class A uniform, bring an adult, your Cub Scout Handbook and your ready to learn attitude.

Did you miss a meeting? That’s ok. All requirements can be done at home and signed off on by and adult. Once complete, just bring your book to your Den leader for the final sign off.
