Bear Cubs - Achievement Update 07-23-09

Friday, July 24th, 2009

Parents,
Our trip to InsideOut Sports in Cary worked out great. We put a lot of tasks in the books for Achievement 14 in the Bear Cub Handbook and the scouts have successfully earned their Bicycling Sports Belt Loop. They are now just a few steps away from earning their pin.

To complete the Bicycling Sports Pin, they need 10 hours of bicycling (a chart listing each hour completed) along with any four of the following tasks:

  • Participate in a group bike rodeo - COMPLETED Last Night
  • Demonstrate how to repair a flat tire - COMPLETED Last Night
  • Create a poster of early bikes
  • Show use of safety equipment
  • Register bicycle
  • Go on a group bicycle hike - Bike Ride in August Scheduled
  • Restore non-functioning bike
  • Visit bike race or exhibit
  • Set up rodeo or competition

Don’t forget that on Saturday August 8th we have our Pack Bike Safety Ride from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm.

Thanks,
Juan

Bear Cubs - Achievement Update 07-09-09

Friday, July 10th, 2009

Parents,
Thursday we created Patch Frames out of some PVC pipe and Flour Sack Cloth. I ran across this project online and found that we could find a cool way to display our earned patches.

The scouts learned a blanket stitch to secure their fabric. From our last project, the corn hole game set, we found that the glue did not dry fast enough and our beans leaked through the holes. Be that as it may, I provided them with two more pieces of t-shirt fabric to SEW new bean bags. They can decorate it before adding the beans and sealing the bags.

Please help them with the process without doing it for them.

I am securing a local tour permit to visit InsideOut sports for our bike safety requirement July 23 (our next den meeting). I will update everyone in two weeks if that is a go.

Below are two articles that came in the Sunday Paper for July 5th. The scouts could read these and complete their “What Makes America Special Achievement” (achievement 3).
