I really had to go back that far, Jan!

There were several most helpful things to know:

* That you get a bead and the Progress Toward Ranks plastic patch thingy
after the completion of THREE requirements toward Wolf (yellow beads)
and Bear (red beads), not after *each and every one*. It wasn't covered
during Cub Leader Basic, nor at the PowWow, and it was only another
Den Leader that was starting out (and whose son transferred from another
Pack in a different Council) that told me this fact.

* That you need to SAVE JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING you may
throw away in a large box in the storage room. This includes paper tubes,
plastic (drink, not Clorox {tm}) containers, cardboard from shirts, egg
cartons. Anything that a school teacher would save up, you should save
up because sooner or later, you will need them as part of a craft project,
and there will be at least ONE Cub that won't have them!

* That a piece of paper with the names and phone numbers of each Cub
in your Den attached to your refrigerator (in my case, it was on a pegboard
in my dorm room!) works wonders!! It helps those looking for their sons
that "somehow" decided to go stay at a denmate's place after the meeting;
it helps you in calling everyone to remind them of things they need to bring;
and it helps significant others in getting important messages to you if you
have to take a Cub Scout to his home (or in getting in touch with Mom,
Dad, or Meema if something unforseen happens!).

Yes, you should also have a binder with individual Cub Progress sheets
with that information...but when a worried mother or concerned father
calls you, do you *really* want to put him or her "on hold" while you
search through pages for other Cubs' numbers??

(someone suggested that we give parents a copy of the list. Don't work
out....for some reason, parents tend to put things that are given out by
the Den Leader in the same group as things given out by school teachers.)
