The Sabre-tooth patrol has been hard at work on activity pins as they work their way toward their Webelos badge. In January, the patrol completed the Citizenship and Fitness activity pins. Mrs. Laura Grizzard was their guest leader at their January 9th meeting where the patrol learned how to play “America the Beautiful” on handbells. In the process of learning this, the boys earned their music belt loops. Thank you Mrs. Grizzard. On January 17th, the Sabre-tooth patrol hosted the Arrow of Light and Crossover Ceremony for the Webelos II Scouts and got a preview of this very special ceremony. January 23rd found the patrol doing some leather work.
The “prowling” Tigers of Den 5 started off 2012 with their eye focused on earning their Tiger rank. The Scouts struck out on a hike at Hidden Pond this month where they leanred about turtles, snakes, and other animals in nature. Completing this hike only leaves one “Go See It” for the Scouts to complete before earning promotion to the next rank. Buiding on the outdoor theme, the Scouts built a makeshift compass using a paperclip, magnet, and bowl of water and learned how to orient that compass to a map. Later in January, they gazed at the stars while earning the Astronomy belt loop and finished the month out with a Pinewood Derby Car Clinic. At the January pack meeting, the young Tigers led the pack on a rendition of “Take me out to the Pinewood” that would make baseball players’ eyes water. All together this month, the six Tiger Scouts of Den 5 earned 36 separate beads, belt loops, pins, and patches. Most notable were the five Scouts who “lettered” in cub scouts by receiving their Academic and Sports letter “C” for their brag vests in honor of earning their first academic or sports pins! Great job guys!
