Service Project

This time of year it is always a nice time to think about others so Julianne Taylor, our awesome den leader, organized service opportunity for our scouts. We meet at the Tuckahoe Community Center. They scouts made a craft project and help put together food baskets for some elderly and people in need in our community. They worked hard and got a lot of work done. I hope the boys had a great time and felt good about the help they gave. Next week we will not have a den meeting and I hope you all have a Happy Thanksgiving.

Achievment 7 Your Living World

Your scouts did great this week. As we reviewed Achievement 7 they boys knew quite a bit about recycling and saving energy. Although we review all the most of them need to be done at home to have them signed off. We did complete 7f but the rest are homework. We also had some extra time on our hands and were able to pass off a few electives. We completed electives 17a (tie a square knot), 17b (tie your shoelace with a square bow, 17f (learn to tie a necktie), 22a (say hello in a different language), and 22b (count to 10 in a different language).

Achievement 8 Cooking and Eating

This week the wolfs learned about nutrition and cooking. Betsy Ricks taught the boys about the food pyramid and how to set a proper table. They played a game and now know what side of the plate a spoon, fork and knife belong. Betsy helped the boys accomplish requirement 8a but the rest of them need to be done at home.

We also learned how to make 123 peanut butter cookies.

1 c. brown sugar

1 c. peanut butter

1 egg

mix thoroughly and roll into 1 inch balls

roll balls in sugar and bake at 350 until bottom turns golden brown

When the cookies come out of the oven place a chocolate kiss in the middle.

Every boy helped make cookies and did a great job.

We also discussed what they needed to do at home this week to complete the rest of Achievement 8 at home. Please help your sons with requirements 8b, 8c, 8d and 8e.
