Pack Totem Pole or the like

[Cubmaster Jerry]

Hello all,

I am looking for an idea to replace my Pack Totem Pole that I have used for the last couple of years. The way my Totem Pole works is I have sections of a 2x4 cut for each den. At each Pack meeting, I have a contest, whether it be a game, center piece contest (for B&G), or something else. The winning Den takes home the section and decorates it at one of their meetings the following month. They decorate it relative to their den by painting it, include their names, photos, or whatever. They can do whatever they want as long as it is scout related and their decoration still allows me to put it together with the rest of them. Well, by the end of the year, we have a totem that represents each den in the Pack. The kids really enjoy it. I bring them out at each Pack meeting for display. The problem is - of course - storage. It's not easy to locate a place to store a 8 - 10ft pole or 8 - 10 individual sections with who knows what hanging off of it. We meet at school and there is no storage available there.

 

Any ideas?
