Right now, I'm thinking it's mostly going to be a rocket building session, like we did last year. I like doing this in the Den meeting, so the boys can concentrate on having fun and doing other things at the Spring campout instead of stressing about building a rocket all morning.
I'd also like to brush up on our knife safety skills one more time. Lenni missed the first meetings where we did this, and I'd like for him to earn his Whittling Chip card. This enables the Scouts to pack heat at the campouts (with parent permission), and I think a refresher would be good to help ensure everyone from Den 8 is responsible.
I'm also thinking about making our Baker school clean-up an annual event because I think it's a pretty good socially responsible activity for the boys and it gives us a chance to get together after the normal Scouting year. That would be at least a month or two off.
For advancements, we've covered all we need to/intend to cover in Den meetings. However, the Scouts still need to complete a few more activities at home to earn their Bear badge. This badge can be presented earlier than the Blue and Gold dinner, and some advancements will be done at the upcoming Pack meeting on March 22nd. Please refer to the instruction I sent earlier: click here for details. For advancements to be recognized at the Pack meeting, I have to have them in by March 15th. You don't have to fill out the spreadsheet, but you do have to e-mail me or otherwise let me know that you've completed all the requirements. Right now, Nick, Austin, Rohan and Kyle are going to be submitted for advancement. Please let me know your status soon.
