Hello Cubs J
First of all as you
can see by the header we are considering changing the day we hold cubs on and
the time. There will a further blog post and facebook post about this to come.
We had a very crazy
meeting this Wednesday and we learned a lot about respecting the old wolf and
respecting ourselves while respecting others.
We are all very
excited for having completed part A of our Purple star and completed all
requirements for our Aboriginal Awareness Badge. We would like to extend and big wolf cub howl
of thanks to Nick Mould who was our special speaker and told us about how his
life today has changed from his ancestors.
Next week we will
hopefully be finishing off our Canadian Heritage Badge as well as doing all our
requirements for our International Trade Badge. We have some fun international
money we will be bringing to share as well as some other fun things to complete
this badge. We need all cubs to come prepared with their scrapbooks on a famous
Canadian. This is not limited to someone
who is dead but anyone they would like to look up from astronauts, to
musicians, sports figures and more. We would also like them to look up and
share a Canadian Folktale to share with the pack as well. Sister Krell is going to come in and teach
the cubs a Canadian folksong and we are very grateful to her for helping us cut
back on the work the cubs will have to do at home. I am sure each cub will come
away with a little more love of music and history after she shares her amazing
talent with them.
Next on the list of
things for the Cubs to work on is to complete 5 of the requirements for Part B
of the Purple Star. We know that a lot of the cubs have done most of these
things like a food drive with the church or school since the beginning of
September. Since that is the time that cubs were supposed to start we are
giving all your parents the right to go back through to that time to see what
your cub has completed. Please have your cub write up a couple of sentences
about what they did and how it made them feel.
We will then be able to sign them off and focus on completing our other
badges that go along with the purple star.
In the grouping with
the purple star is a Language Badge. This is not something we work with in
cubs, it is a badge they do on their own time. If your cub has been learning
another language like French or sign language please have them let us know. We
can bring in someone to have a 2 to 3 sentence conversation with them and then
they will receive a special strip to share with everyone. I will be reposting the links to the badges I
have talked about in this post.
Hopefully I have
covered everything so far and as you know feel free to contact Matt or myself with any questions or concerns.
Hope you have a Great
Week
