Den Leader Christmas Gift

[Basementdweller 608]

Well national has sold out of my original idea of Cub Scout vests.......any other ideas.,

[dg98adams 18]

Those "vests" are just felt.

 

Several yards of discount red felt from the fabric shop and you'd be back in business.

 

You can use brown paper to have the Cubs make their own pattern or grab one and make a one-size-fits-all pattern.

 

You can lay it out and make it so there is only 2 short seams on top of the shoulders to sew up.

My den actually made their own vests over 2 den meetings for the American Indian Wolf Elective. rReal easy to make.

Pocket knife. Cub Scout leaders can't have enough pocket knives.

Last year, I gave the boys these little whistles with compasses, thermometer, etc from Walmart in the camping section. They were less than $2 a piece. This year, I am giving them homemade cookies and little plastic collapsable cups. If my buget were bigger, then I would have loved to have given them something else camping/hiking related that is more useful. Like a hydration pack or some hiking staffs. Or headlamps. But I liked those plastic collapsable cups when I was a kid, so that's what I went with

A copy of Last Child in the Woods, by Richard Louv.

[Basementdweller 608]

I have read the last child in the woods, I think it would be lost on them. I have shared my copy with some of them.

 

Patch blanket is a nice idea.........

I have spent a small fortune on glow sticks at the camp outs.
