Many of you have asked me: What do Scouts do after they earn their Bear Rank? Do we still have Den Meetings? To answer your first question: yes. That is me on Horizon (a local public affairs program on PBS, Channel 8). As for your other questions: We will have a ton of fun and continue to meet as Dens earning electives toward Arrow Points until summer arrives. Once summer arrives, we'll take a break from our Den Meetings, but get together at least once a month for fun activities. Last summer we played laser tag, went indoor rock climbing, and took cooking classes--who knows what fun things we'll find to do this summer?? But, as for our upcoming Den Meetings, here are some of the things Harlan and I hope to accomplish:
1. Earn Our Whittling Chip card. Don't know what a Whittling Chip card is? Check out Requirement 19d (p. 150 of the Bear Handbook).
2. Build a simple generator.
3. Take a field trip to an airport.
4. Take a field trip to a television station.
5. Take a field trip to a fire station.
6. Take a field trip to the military museum at Papago Park.
7. Earn a couple of belt loops.
We've also got some fun games and activities for the nights we're at the church. We'll do our best to offer carpool opportunities to the Field Trips. Once we've got dates confirmed we'll send them out. Also, it is possible one or more of these things may fall through the cracks or not come together. If that happens, Harlan and I will do our best to make sure we do them as Weblos Scouts. You are all planning to come back as Weblos, right?!
