Meeting tonight – WUMC – 6:30pm

Hi Webelos! I hope you used last week to go virtually visit an art museum of your choice as the first item in the Art Explosion elective.  You also should have a finished stepping stone – if you do not want the mold, please return it tonight.  If you are going to make more, feel free to keep it.  If you missed this activity I have a few extra kits, just let me know! We have a couple of items left on Art Explosion and should wrap that up before we finish meetings this spring. We are continuing to work on our Fix It and Sports electives – some have them done already!!   We have officially been invited to the Geology Lab at TJC…

Attention Webelos ARTISTS!  We are meeting at 6pm under the pavillion at WUMC. Tuesday our weather forecast is for 75 degrees – perfect weather for the Scouts to craft their cement stepping stone. The mold can be reused, so your scout can craft additional stones as a summer activity.  This activity is one part of our ART EXPLOSION elective, which we will be working on over a couple of weeks. *IMPORTANT* bring the following supplies!!

Sturdy spoon and maybe a spatula to stir the cement and get it into the mold. Should wash clean. Old towel Measuring cup…
