Dec 09 - Work on this at home - Parents and Wolf Cubs

Advancement possibilities highlighted this month:

Achievements 2b, 4a, 4c, 4f, 5d, 5e, 8a; Electives 11b, 12a

Van Gogh? Rembrandt? Klimt? Who knows what member of this Wolf Cub Scout den is a budding artist. Give the boys a chance to find out by encouraging them to create different works of art. Elective 12a provides plenty of opportunities to unleash that inner Renoir. We worked on this at our first Den meeting of the month and the boys proved to be quite interested and talented.

Wolf Cubs and their families are encouraged to work on the additional achievements and electives that support this theme:
• Achievement 5a, Tools for Fixing and Building: With an adult, visit a local hardware store. Look at and name seven tools. Play the “I Spy” game: to give hints about the object “spied,” describe its features (black rubber handle, long silver cutting edge, etc.).

• Achievement 5c, Tools for Fixing and Building: Help an adult organize the screws in a container or tool box. Learn the difference between a Phillips head and a standard screw. Practice driving a screw and removing it.

• Elective12b, Be An Artist: Make a holiday story card. Tell a holiday story by drawing three cartoons on folded cardstock.
