Weekly update!

Pack night went well with prizes and badges going to the boys who sold popcorn!

Also I (Mr Schiffer) have a new phone number which I can be reached at. 585-928-1920is the number if you need to reach me.

There will be no den meeting either this coming week or the next due to the Holidays. Have a Merry Christmas and a good New Years holiday!!!

Last night we had our friend Danny Chan come in and talk to the boys about China and Chinese language. A former scout from Hong Kong, he showed the boys a sample of some Chinese writing and taught them how to write things like heart, promise, fire and ice. They also talked about Communism and the importance of our freedoms.

I have never seen the boys ask so many questions. Thank you Mr. Chan!

We also had the District Meeting last night where the top sellers of popcorn were given the chance to pick out some prizes. Andrew Morris took home a electric scooter and Donnie Schiffer took home a remote control helicopter!

It was a good week for scouts.

I missed a week. Let the floggings begin!

Seriously though... We've had a busy 2 weeks. Last week we started working on the Comunicator Achievement by playing the communication game. The boys pick an emotion out of a hat and had to act it out. Everything from 'afraid' to 'bored' to 'moody'. It was a good time.

Then last night we had pack night where the boys did the days of the week song using both song and sign language. We also had several boys get achievement awards and Andrew Morris earned his Webelos badge.

The popcorn sale was a hit! The pack sold $10,861! And including the boys scout troop over $15,000! Good job guys.

There is no den meeting next week for the Thanksgiving holiday. The following week (Wednesday the 3rd) we have a Chinese American coming in to discuss the Chinese language and its history.

Have a great Thanksgiving Holiday!

Last night the boys worked on a team project. They made some 'interesting' looking aliens from various materials available...

Have a safe and fun Halloween Night!

Weekly update!

We painted our scarecrow on Tuesday night. The boys did a fine job. It is ready for Wednesdays Pack night!

Tomorrow night, pack night Halloween party! If you wear a costume you don't need your uniform. If you don't please wear your blues and golds.

This week...

We started building our scarecrow. The boys learned how to use a jigsaw and spent some time sanding the edges smooth. I predict it will look great when they're done. Pictures will be forthcoming!

Saturday is the Fishing Derby. The Webelos will be fishing in the afternoon starting around 1pm. We also have a group staying the night in a cabin. This year we are hoping to catch the big one!

Thanks for your support!

Our first meeting!

This week we planned out the first half of our year. We are planning on working on our craftsmen and artist badge first. The first project will be a plywood cutout that the boys will help build and paint!

Next week we start selling popcorn so be sure to support the boys if you can.

No pictures this week but I will get some up next week. Wish us luck...
