This time, we'll be having our first "real" Den Meeting. I will not be able to attend, but Beau Andrews is planning to have a couple of experienced Den Leaders to circulate and assist our Den Leaders. I think we should already have a plan in place as well.
I will have the (basically random) Den assignments out before the weekend. Due to the large Pack size (over 50 boys!!), we will have three Tiger dens, two Wolf dens, three Bear dens and one Webelos den. This will keep the den sizes to a manageable 6-7 boys each (but 9 Webelos).
We will need a designated Den Leader and Assistant Den Leader for each den to lead Tuesday's meeting. This can be whichever two parents are going first in the rotation, for those of you who are sharing duties. Tiger parents, remember that the Adult Partner should attend all den meetings.
I have a paper from the BSA that outlines a recommended program for the first four Den meetings. This works the boys through their Bobcat requirements. I will post separately this program so that we can use it. If any of you took home the yellow Den Leader Kit folders, this program is in the folder. If we follow this, all of the boys should have earned the Bobcat rank in time for our first Pack meeting on the 15th.
