Each month we will be working on one or two Webelos activity pins. You will find all the requirements and ideas for these pins in their Webelos handbooks. There is also a worksheet which I will hand out at the start of each month - you can also download it. Each boy has a folder to keep their worksheets safe. E-mail me if you are missing a handbook, worksheet or folder. Webelos is different from Tigers, Bears and Wolves. The boys are responsible for working on the requirements and their den leader will sign them off. Using the worksheets provides a record of the work that the boys have done.
Below is a list of the requirements that we will start at each meeting to finish at home - this means if you miss a meeting you can keep up.
June 2009 - Traveller activity pin (look in your handbook p.462-473 and download worksheet)
June 16, 2009 - after the meeting - Complete requirements 1 & 2 on worksheet. Talk to your parents about trips you have taken with the family. How were they planned? Have you ever been on a train, a bus or an airplane? What was it like? Tell the Den at the next meeting.
July 7, 2009 - after the meeting - Complete requirements 3, 4 & 5 on worksheet. Ask your parents how they work out the cost per mile of a car trip? Sit down with them to calculate how much it costs per mile with your family car. Estimate the cost of insurance, maintenance, miles per gallon of gasoline and other costs, in order to determine a good estimate of cost per mile.
