Thansk you everyone for the feedback. It made me feel better just to write this down. I will continue to treat her as any other mother. People do not always behave the best that they can. I do not want the boy to be denied his accomplishment of earning his wolf badge. I will have a special ceremony for him atthe next den meeting.

I am so disturbed by the behavior of a parent in my den. She sent me a nasty e-mail stating that here son would not be attending the blue and gold dinner, they had a prior commitment out of town. The dinner was at 7:30 p.m. Prior to that, there was a school activity. The whole den wore their uniforms in anticipation of the Blue and Gold. W ho shows up to the school activity? The previously unavailable scout and his family. The mother gave me dirty looks all night and told my husband she was angry that the boys came in uniform "to rub it in" to her son. This women is so nasty. I

Had my first den meeting of the year. It went really well. We had a welcome ceremony for 2 new scouts and a ceremony for a Bobcat. Also we layed out the den rules, and did a craft and made an edible campfire. Thanks to everyone on this board for their lively discussion and resources.

Thanks John in KC.

Thanks. I did not know that Tigers had to have an adult with them. Ours did not. Nor did the special needs boys, one of whom was a Tiger. I appreciate the feedback.

I just finished my first week ever of CSDC. Our theme was cub scout investigators (CSI.) It was well done. Boys life magazine came to photograph it on Thursday Our den was quite large 16 boys. 3 tigers, 13 wolves and a bear. 2 boys were autistic. Does that seem big?

I disagree with you Braden P. The Pope was not a Nazi. He was a young boy in Germany when the Nazi's were in power. Nor is he an opportunist. He is a dedicated, brilliant, liturgical scholar.

Can the wolf scouts use knives?

The scout who died was a Cub Scout, A Weblos 1 according to news reports.

Thanks for the feedback.

At our planning meeting last night we considered not having pack meetings and replacing them with activities. Is this allowed?(This message has been edited by lizzygo)

There were three bear scouts and their den leader eating at the restuarant in the last scene.

Did anyone else think it was odd that there were 3 bear scouts and a den leader in the Sopranos finale?

I do recall that incident. I was just wondering the official regulation. The fire department asked us to ride on their truck. We declined, because it could not hold all of the boys.

Our pack participates in a parade and distributes American Flags en route. What are some others doing? Can Cubs ride on flatbed trucks?

I listen to the tthree podcasts avaialble from PTC media, I subscribed via I tunes. I also listen to Cub Cast from the national office.

we meet on Fridays from 3:30-4:30.
