knitwitmom Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 I am trying to find penpals for my bear den. I have googled and found a couple of sites but have not heard anything back. Does anyone have any suggestions? Teresa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chug Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 I'll ask the Akela of my sons Cub Pack. That's if you wouldn't mind pen-pals from the UK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghermanno Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 knitwitmom, Have you looked here? They have the "Flat Stanley" project going on now. Are there an particulars you are looking for? (example: spanish/asian/Euopean, only outside US/only inside US....) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knitwitmom Posted September 14, 2008 Author Share Posted September 14, 2008 Thank you Chug! Penpals from the UK would be awesome for my boys. I am really not looking for anything in particular. I just thought it would be fun for the boys to make friends and learn about scouting in other areas. Teresa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chug Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 No problem, I'll have a word with the Akela tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCWhite Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Chug, This is something I would also be interested in for my Webelos to work on Communicator and learn about Scouts from another part of the world. Let me know if there is something we could work out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghermanno Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 knitwitmom, OK. If you will pmail me a contact (email or otherwise), I will get the info out at District Training the 20th. Our boys are Americans stationed in South Korea. No promisses as you know how boys can be (as well as leaders) but I will get the word out if you like.
