Thanks dg98adams,

To clarify I'm just looking for ideas around the new boys joining and change to the group.

Already I have too many ideas for the last few meetings of the school year. (Although I'm adding water baloons -- as soon as the snow melts!)

We're doing scouting for food this weekend, creek cleanup in May, bird watching, hopefully a hike and bike ride.....

Hello all,

After 2 years together we're losing one boy and gaining 1 or 2 new boys. It's a good time to add boys as they'll have an opportunity to go to camp with us. We've just finished our Wolf year.

Anyone have suggestions for games, activities, and conversations for our next den meeting?

I'll have 8 or 9 boys at the meeting. The boys all know each other from school.

Thanks much in advance. These forums are amazing!

Our 5 boys started tigers in the year with the new requirement that the Bobcat be earned before Tiger. 4 years latter we are to sew on the Webelo diamond. Do we remove the Tiger or Bobcat diamond?

I am looking for a friendship patch. I found one in stock at Advantage Emblem and Screen Printing for $ 2 plus shipping. Ofcourse I want one cheaper.

I want to encourage my boys to invite each other to do things (outside of their normal cliques) over the summer. I thought I would create a little program where they track who they did things with and I can reward them with this patch. (This is in response to some parents complaining that some of the boys are "exclusive".)

If someone knows of an alternative source for inexpensive stock patches please let me know. Ofcourse if there is cubscout program that addresses this instead, I'd like to hear about that also.

Hello,

I need a scout skit for 3rd and 4th grade boys to perform that has sound effects like Wolf elective 2c. We're thinking something like the old time radio shows (but not as long).

Does anyone have one?

Thanks in advance,

Who we are: My husband has led a den of 5 boys since tigers. They are 4th grade Webelos now. The den is successful (productive and fun) and all 5 boys will have AOL sometime this spring. I am leading a wolf den of 8 which is also successful. We have had a lot of fun, boys are growing and most are earning their achievements. Overall we have parents who will help out if asked directly and will work with their boys at home. Our pack is young, leadership is learning and developing.

The challenge: Suddenly the Bear leader between us resigned and her son pulled out, leaving 3 boys. That den's program was not as active and they had accomplished little as a den in the last year. My husband offered to absorb the 3 remaining boys, keep them in scouting, and provide a better experience. The idea is that the 3 boys would stay with his den till the original 5 boys bridge to BS. Then the 3 would join the younger den as the younger den was becoming webelos.

Here is the resouce we need: I noticed that many of the electives in the bear book could tie into the activity badges of webelos. Has anyone matched up the two programs and created a document on how they mesh?

Thanks much in advance.
