We need something around the 5 dollar range. I see many people willing to buy with their hand going to their pocket/purse. Then they ask,"how much," "$10-20 dollars" the hand slowly drops. This year we had $5 campcards that were for discounts at local stores and we sold a mess of them.

We crossover in March. I'm pretty sure our Webelos want to stick around for one last Derby run.

We've had a person denied a leadership role from a background check.

It's a great idea and I would participate; all-in-fun of course. I think it's important to make events FUN for all involved. I agree with not upstaging the events for Boy Scouts.

It's a personal choice. I don't think they expect anything but it's fun and a good way to show them you appreciate all their hard work. Usually, the gifts seem to be tongue and cheek. I did give a gift some of the staffers that stood out for me. I made them personal in my own way.

32 in our pack

We don't do snack. We meet weekly from 6:30 - 7:30. I don't think I could coordinate one more thing each week.

if there is a market for it then it's great. BSA should be opened up to everyone.

Thanks for the advice. I did do the leaf rubbing craft as a hands on activity and setup every craft I had for demos. I had way more material than I could get through so I sent them home with a few kits they could do on their own. I tried to show a progression of crafts that were easiest (for tigers) up to difficult (for webelos).

Yes, it's a 50 minute presentation. I was planning on having 3 or 4 kits ready to go for the class. I was going to add to that links to other sites with craft ideas. I have to come up with all the supplies so I'm limited on how much I can provide. Not to mention it's this Saturday so I'm limited on time. I think I'm going to use the leaf rubbing slide, air rockets, sweet-gum mouse, and a macrame bracelet/key chain. I will bring other examples I have with me. I don't know who's attending so I can't email them. I do want everyone to share their craft ideas. I want to touch on safety, planning, accomplishing requirements and how to use stations and parents effectively to keep things moving along.

great ideas keep em coming.

I am teaching this class for the first time this weekend. What would you want to learn in the class? If you've taught a similar class please share your experience with me. I want to do a good job and help as best I can. Thanks

great idea!

Congradulations! Enjoy the moment and keep on keeping on. The best part of WB for me was the connections I made with fellow scouters. I used to be an Owl... SR-664-11

I agree that sewing should be something the boys do. However, todays patches aren't the same as they used to be. With all that plastic backing it's hard to get a needle through them.

Now it's time to say good bye to all our cubbery. C-U-B. Be Loyal Scouts... Mickey Mouse - Donald Duck Mickey Mouse forever let or banner fly high High HIGH.

Federalist, keep working those tickets. I really enjoyed WB too and earned my beads a little over a month ago.

Probably were my WB necker for a while. I do agree that we should lead by example. If we expect the boys to wear one we should be in one too.

Not for me, beads are a symbol of where you are on your WB journey and a symbol of fellowship with those that travel the same path. It is what you make of it. Go Owls!

I just got beaded. WB is a blast! I highly recommend it to anyone interested.

Glad to hear you are working things out. Good Luck!

Oak Tree, That's about what I see my job as. I don't want to become part of their unit. It's their unit and they have a great pack before I came in to the picture. I want do things like help recharter, help with any training needs, help with any council issues. I met them last night; told them about JTE, about training coming up. It went well. They are a very organized unit. I hope I can be an asset to them.

Can you talk with the UC? Maybe it's just a case that he's most familar with his Troop. I know if I saw a need for Den Chiefs I'd approach the SM from the place I was most familar with. I would hope somebody would come talk with me if they felt I was doing something not scout like. good luck either way.

Hmmm, free food. I didn't think about that angle. I'm really looking forward to getting to meet the pack and hopefully be helpful.
