Homework!

Here's the homework I assigned last night.  The boys can choose to do ONE of requirement 11, 13, or 16 from the Citizen Activity Badge on page 145 of the Webelos Handbook.  Whichever one they choose is up to them.  We'll have presentation and discussion at our next Den meeting on December 2nd.

Here are the specific requirements:

11. Write a short story of not less than 50 words about a former U.S. president or some other great American.

13. List the names of three people you think are good citizens (they can be from any country).  Tell why you chose each of them.

16. List four ways in which your country helps or works with other nations.

I also asked the boys to, as they're completing the assignments, think about what a citizen is and what citizenship means while doing the assignment.  At the next meeting, we'll talk some about the rights and duties of a citizen, and we'll finish up the requirements for the Citizen Badge.
