Uniform Incentive!

Yesterday at Den Mtg.,
I told the boys that if they came next week in their full uniform and wore it for the whole Den Mtg, they would get a candy bar.

Full uniform includes 4 things:

Shirt
Cap
Neckerchief with slide
and Book

Just so you know, when I attended a Cub Scout Leadership Meeting, I learned that some of the purpose for the Uniform is to help the boys prepare to wear the uniform of the priesthood, white shirt and tie, etc.  Wearing the Webelos Uniform is not an easy thing for my Webelo.  But it is a great opportunity for me to work with him on taking care of his uniform, because most often he doesn't.
I will be going to the Scout Store before the next Den Mtg., if you want me to pick up a book or a part of the uniform I would be glad to and then you can pay me when I deliver it to you!

Just let me know:

Den Meeting - October 26th, 2010 SHOWMAN ACTIVITY BADGE

IN PROGRESS... 
SHOWMAN ACTIVITY BADGE
Accomplished #13, #14 and #20.
Started working on #2, #3, & #7.

NEXT DEN MTG. - WE WILL CONTINUE WORKING ON THE SHOWMAN ACTIVITY BADGE, particularly #2, #3, #7 and others in the Puppetry Category.

Look forward to some Puppet Shows at our next Pack Mtg, which will be Nov. 16th!


Yesterday was the first day CR and I worked with the Webelos!  And yesterday was J's first day of Webelos!  Welcome J!

We worked on the SHOWMAN Activity Badge, p. 430 of the Webelos book.

We did 2 activities from the Music category, #13 and #14, even though we only had to do 1 activity from this section.

#13 is Draw a staff.  Draw on it a clef, a sharp, a flat, natural, note and rest.  Tell what each is used for.
We did this on a white board.

#14 is Show the difference between 2/4, 3/4, 4/4 time by beating time or playing an instrument.
We did this through clapping.

We did 1 activity from the Drama category which was #20.

#20 is Make a list of stage directions.  Tell what they mean.

We did this on the white board and we learned that going up means towards the back and down means towards the audience.  Stage left and right are from the actor's perspective and center is center!

Then we started with the Puppetry category and worked on #1, #3, and #7.

#1 is Write a puppet play about one of your Webelos den activities or a subject of your choice.

#3 is Make a set of puppets or marionettes for the play you have written or for another play.

 #7 is There are sock, stick, and finger puppets.  There are paper bag puppets and marionettes.  Explain their differences and show any puppets you have made for this badge.

Intro to this blog!

Parents,

I am thinking a blog would be a great way to help keep track of the progress made with our Webelos!
So this is a place I am going to record the activity badges that we are working on and attendance so we know who was there and accomplished the activities.
This will be a private blog so you will need to be invited to look at it.
I will also use this to help communicate other kinds of information like upcoming events.
This will be a central place for information that you will know you can go to.
In other words it won't be just another e-mail that gets lost among other e-mails.
I hope it will be useful to you!
