A couple of days last week revolved around our participation in cub scouts. On Thursday, April 30, we had our monthly pack meeting. The theme for April was “Jurassic Pack,” and our cubmaster and committee chair went all out with the theme, including dinosaur eggs in a nest!
The dinosaur eggs were cracked open to reveal…the boys’ awards!Ryan earned the bowling belt loop and pin, for a total of 20 belt loops, and two more silver arrow points, making a total of 9 arrow points! Then he officially left my den (the Wolf den) and was welcomed into the Bear den. Luckily the two dens meet together (partially), so we'll still be together in scouts for another year.
Saturday, May 2, was the annual Scout-o-Rama. We always enjoy attending Scout-o-Rama, and Ryan is always on the lookout for belt loops, achievements, and electives to earn. Last year he earned five or six belt loops there. This year we only found one that he hadn’t earned, so we worked on that one. He also enjoyed making his own rope and tying knots to complete one Bear achievement.
Every year our troop has a booth where we help the boys earn the science belt loop. We talk about the scientific method, the properties of gasses, liquids and solids, and then help the boys that visit our booth make ooblek, which can be either a liquid or a solid. Ryan and our other boys had a great time helping the visitors to our booth make their ooblek.
Other activities and booths Ryan enjoyed...
