DEN ANNOUNCEMENTS
FULFILLING REQUIREMENTS TO EARN BELT LOOPS
Each scout must fulfill 7 adventure requirements in order to earn their belt loops. If you attend each den meeting from last September until May 2016, you will earn all belt loops. But attending all den meeting is unrealistic. Therefore, it’s important to make up the requirements at home if you miss the den meetings. I have let everyone know what they need to do to be all caught up. If you have the slightest question, email me.
WAY TO GO ALEX + KEATON!
Congratulations to Alex and Keaton who memorized and correctly recited the SCOUT LAW and OATH! That was impressive.
REMEMBER TO RSVP IF YOU ARE NOT ATTENDING A DEN MEETING
Please let Miss Amy know if you miss a Den Meeting or an outing. This will help us to plan.
