Pack Meeting and Flag Ceremony

Last night we had a wonderful Pack Meeting. It started off with the Tigers presenting the flags and leading the Pack in the Pledge. Then we kicked off the awards with the presentation of many beads and belt loops for various accomplishments and every boy received their Bobcat Badge!! Tammy also shared with the Pack all that our Den has been busy doing. We are so proud of all of the boys and the hard work they have put in!

We then headed outside where Michael Martin and Phil Pigg lead us through the procedures of a Flag Ceremony. Some of the things the boys learned were how to raise and lower our flag appropriately, how to fold the flag, and what each of those folds stand for, why the flag is flown at half mast and why the flag must be lit by atleast two lights at night. Thanks again Mr. Martin and Mr. Pigg for doing that for our Pack. We really appreciate it!

Wear Your Uniform to School Day!

Today we had our first "Wear your Uniform to School Day." Because it is also Red Ribbon Week, some of our Tigers wore clothing representing what they hope to be when they grow up. I was volunteering at school today and brought my camera in hopes that I could catch some of our Tigers at lunch. Here are a few really cute pictures of our boys. They all looked so handsome and represented our Den well! This is something that we will be doing once a month on the day of the Pack Meetings. We will remind everyone when it is time to wear them again. Thanks again parents for your support and participation.Clark, Ethan R. Maddux, Ethan C. and Logan Maveric and Zane

Tiger's At SCE

Hey Tiger's just want to remind you to wear your uniform to school tomorrow. We also realize that this is Red Ribbon Week, so if you want to wear something representing what you want to be when you grow up that is fine too. Also, don't forget our Pack Meeting tomorrow night @7:00 pm we will be awarding Bobcat Badges and will also participate in a flag ceremony. See you then!!

TIME CHANGE!!!

No, I'm not referring to the "Fall Back" time change. I am talking about the new time for our Den Meetings ONLY!! We will begin our Den Meetings @ 6:30pm from now on. Pack Meetings will remain @7:00pm. We will post the time each week so that no one is confused, and if you are ever in question just call Tammy or myself. Thanks!

Smells like Peanut Butter!

Tonight the Tigers had a great time making Bird Feeders out of pine cones, peanut butter and bird seed. A huge thank you goes out to Aaron and Allison for helping to run that project outside! The boys also got to do leaf rubbings with a variety of leaves that I collected from around our yard. One of the boys commented on how 2 of the leaves looked like Poison Oak!! I gathered those up quickly and put them away, so if any mysterious rash appears on your son...anyway! We also talked about their visit to the Sam Davis Home and the differences and similarities of life then and now. We took a vote and it was unanimous, all of the boys are glad that they live in 2008!! For those Tigers that don't quite have the Bobcat Requirements down, continue to work on those and let us know if you memorize them before Tuesday so that you can receive your badge at the Pack Meeting. Thanks again parents for your commitment to Scouts!

A Fabulous Time!!!

Hey Tigers and Parents! We had a blast this evening with all of the boys and we were blessed with some wonderful weather. On our hike, we sang the "Tiger Song" as we marched, we stopped for a photo op and then headed along our way. We hiked down to the waters edge where we saw some fish and a black duck that lives under the dock. We hiked through the woods and even over a couple of bridges. We also discussed littering and the elements of the Bobcat Badge and they knew them all! Back at the shelter, the boys learned about the "Leave No Trace" frontcountry guidelines while the hot dogs were grilling. After a prayer from Ethan C.'s Dad, the Tigers dug into hot dogs, chips, baked beans, and dessert. But I think their favorite dessert was getting to roast their own marshmallow topped off with a chocolate bar! We also presented Tiger Totems to Jacquez, Austin L., and Trevor. Thank you all so much for your attendance and participation. Without you this evening would not have been such a success!!

Tiger Take Home

Complete pages 64-66 with your Tiger this week. This is practicing good manners and respect. With Fall Break being this week, I think we will all have a good opportunity to complete this family activity. Our next meet is Tues. Oct. 21 @ 7.

Spotted Some Tigers at Sam Davis Home!

Today we had a wonderful time at the Sam Davis Home. Of course this was a school function, but I spotted a lot of our Tigers today having some fun and learning lots about how life used to be in the 1800's. They were in shock to learn that there used to be no video games or Television...who can fathom?!?! Here are some pictures of a few of our Tigers. My camera battery ran down just as I was going to snap a shot of Logan and Tyler with the guns:( If anyone has any other cute pics of our Tigers send them to me and I will post them! See you Saturday.
