BALOO Training opp

Howdy Bears! Next year, when you are Webelos, your den could do den campouts, but you need an adult trained in Basic Adult Leader Outdoor Orientation (BALOO). There is an opportunity with our council for this training February 8-9. Please see the attached form and let me know if you have questions. Our pack also needs parents trained so we can continue to have family campouts like we had in November. Yours in Scouting, Kathy Prince https://etacpack359.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/IOLS-Baloo-2_2020-Flyer-and-Registration-form.pdf

Duty to God

Merry Christmas! We are counting down the days in this house. I want to remind you to work on Duty to God over Christmas break. Also, check out the electives in your book. Those are adventures you can do as a family. You can log them into scout book or let me know at a den meeting what you completed. We will do digging in the past as a den. Have a safe and happy holiday. See you in the New Year. Yours in Scouting, Kathy
