A quick update for you on what's happening. Next Tuesday, May 20th, is our graduation! That's right...our Bear's are graduating to become Webelos! Each Bear needs to bring me $5.00 for their Boat Kit. If a sibling wants a kit, I need $5.00 for each Sibling. If the Bear shows up for Raingutter Regata, then you will receive a refund of your $5.00.
Over the past couple of Den Meetings, we have focused on their electives. My goal is every Bear should have completed at least 30 bear elective requirements. This will earn him 1 gold arrow and 2 silver arrows at our Graduation on May 20th.
Please review each of the electives in the back of the book, starting on page 180. Mark what your bear has done, count up each requirement, and let me know what he has completed. You can use page 290 as a way to track what he has done.
Here is what we did on Tuesday, 5/6/14.
Elective 5 - Requirements c
Elective 6 - Requirements a,b (for mos of our cubs), c, d (we did paper airplanes), e, f
Also, I want all our boys to get their World Conservation Award Patch. I sent out an email about this Award about 3 weeks ago, to make sure you are helping your Cub do his electives. To get the award, your Cub must complete ALL requirements of 2 of the following 3 electives:
Elective 2 - Weather
Elective 12 - Nature Crafts
Elective 15 - Water and Soil Conservation
In our Den meeting yesterday, we completed all of the items for Elective 2 - Weather (except for the recording of data your Cub needs to do at home). NOTE - I am going on good faith that each of our Cubs WILL COMPLETE ALL THE REQUIREMENTS in either Elective 12 or Elective 15, to earn their Patch. However, I still need you to email me and confirm your Cub has completed all the requirements for 2 of the 3 electives.
When acquiring their Bear Badge, the Cubs did 12 different Achievements (2,3,4,7,8,9,11,12, 14,16,19,21). In addition, to help them get their World Conservation Award, they did Achievement 5, which wasn't recquired for their Bear Badge. As a result, the 4 requirements from Achievement 5 count as elective requirements for an arrow point.
So...here are the totals I have for Arrow Head requirements so far that we have done in the Den Meeting...
Elective 5 and 6 (5/6/14) - 7 total requirements
Elective 2 (5/13/14) - 6 total requirements (For those that didn't attend yesterday's Den meeting, please help your Cub finish this Elective)
Achievement 5 - 4 total requirements
-----------
Total Requirements in Den Meetings - 17 total requirements
Total Requirements your Bear needs to complete this week outside of the Den Meeting for 1 gold, 2 silver arrow heads on May 20th - 13 total requirements
Please Email me on Monday, May 19th and confirm what your Cub has completed. I'm asking Julie to proceed with picking these items up, however, I do need to confirm with you that the items are complete. In addition, if your Cub needs more Silver Arrows (10 requirements completed per Silver Arrow), please let me know. Thx.
