DECEMBER THEME “WORKS OF ART”

December is a time of celebration for giving. Invite  friends in doing good 
deeds and creating holiday magic through art. Cub Scouts  can create 
holiday decorations, gifts, and cards. Put their artwork on display  in nursing 
homes, churches, schools, the pack meeting, or the chartered  organization. As 
a Good Turn for America, make cards and ornaments to share with  a local 
retirement community, children’s hospital, or community center. Boys can  disc
over different forms of art, write poems, attend a musical or performance  
art show, or visit an art museum. Works of art can become gifts for family  
members. In conjunction with these projects, work on the Academic belt loop 
or  pin in Art or Music. 
The December Pack meeting is on Thursday, December 10  at 7:00 at the 
BESIC. Please take note that this is earlier in the month  than usual due to 
Christmas.  

ASTRONOMY BELT LOOP  WORKSHOP 
After the enormous success of this event the  past four years, the 
Astronomy Associates of Lawrence is planning another  Cub Scout Astronomy Belt Loop 
presentation on Friday, November 13 at 7:00 PM at 3139 Wescoe  Hall on the 
KU campus.  The indoor portion of the presentation (about  1 hr) will be 
followed by an observing session with club telescopes outside   
of Wescoe Hall on "Wescoe  Beach" (weather permitting).  If anyone is 
interested in going  please let David Simmons know so we can RSVP with the total 
number of people  (including adults) that will attend so that we can make 
sure we  have enough handouts and telescopes to accommodate the group.  A map 
to the  location, as well as other information about upcoming club events, 
can be  found at: _http://groups.ku.edu/~astronomy/pages/events.html_ 
(http://groups.ku.edu/~astronomy/pages/events.html)  Remember that Cub  Scouts can 
earn Belt Loops each year, so even if you attended in the  past, you are 
invited to go again.  
Webelos can  use the Astronomy Belt Loop to help earn their Scientist 
Activity  Badge.  If you were not at last year's event, ask around, I'm sure 
you'll  hear positive feedback.  Also, there is no charge  for attending.  
Because there is a KU basketball game,  attendees are requested to use the 
parking lots near Memorial Stadium and walk  to Wescoe Hall, as the parking to the 
south and west of Wescoe will be reserved  for basketball parking. 

BROMELSICK CHRISTMAS  PARTY 
Every year the Bromelsick Foundation hosts a Christmas  party for all 
Douglas County Cub Scouts, Girl Scouts and 4-Hers.  The Christmas party this year 
is Sunday,  December 6 from 1:30 to 3:00 at Budig Hall on the KU Campus. 
The party  includes a Chemistry Magic Show and KU Youth Chorus. Tickets for 
bags of candy  will be handed out by your den leader. This promises to be very 
fun for the  whole family. 

CLASS “B” UNIFORMS 
Class B Uniforms are still available for $5 for boys and  parents. This is 
an excellent way to identify our boys when we go to events like  the 
Astronomy Belt Loop Workshop or the Bromelsick Christmas Party. Be sure to  pick 
yours up today.  If you didn’t  make the Pack Meeting, contact Jon Francis. 

PACK FUNDRAISERS 
Popcorn  Sales – We had 19 boys sell popcorn with total sales of  $4,970. 
This is more than 110% of what we sold in 2008. Top seller was Gabriel  
Baldwin with $1,300 followed by Carter Hall with $575 and Zach Waltz with $553.  
All boys who sold popcorn will receive patches and prizes and 10% of their 
sales  placed in their individual Scout account for summer camps.  Thanks for 
your work boys (and parents) Money is due  December 6 by 5:00 p.m. to 
Popcorn Kernel Dave.  Prizes will be handed out at the  December 10 Pack Meeting 
Wreath Sales –10% of  gross sales go to Scout’s account for camping and 
other scouting  activities. 

DEN REPORTS 
Webelos II Den 3 Meetings for December will  be on the first and third 
Thursdays after school at the Wessling house. We can  hardly wait until we are 
Boy Scouts. We will be visiting Boys Scout units very  soon. 
Webelos I Den 8 Den 8 will meet November  19th at the Scout Cabin where we 
are going to finish up our citizen  badge.  We have also been told that  
Westar energy recently replaced some telephone poles and have cut them into  
pieces so kids can build bird houses.  Westar is donating 13 kits to our  den. 
 This was all coordinated by Rob Schaffer—one of our scout  parents.  We 
have not received the kits yet but have been told they will be  delivered 
soon.  This will be a great project for us to  do. 
Bear Den  1 We continue  to work on Bear Achievements. 
Bear Den  2 is now  meeting on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays at the Waltz home 
at  6:30. We went on a Black Jack Battlefield tour and saw where John Brown 
fought  the pro-slavers. We actually got to walk where the battle was  fought 
Wolf Den  5 We  have a new Den Leader, Alice White. We continue to meet on 
Sundays at the Scout  Cabin. 
Tiger Den 4 – We are about  half way thru our Tiger Badge requirements. We 
are working on the flag football  belt loop and the citizenship belt loop. 
We are also planning out the  requirements for 100th year badge for Tiger 
Cubs.  We will be visiting the  fire station next week for our Go See It this 
month. Its planned for 5:00 p.m.  next Tuesday before our Den Meeting. Our 
Den meetings for December will be 1st  and 15th.

SCOUT’N ABOUT 
(Stories about Scouts by  Scouts) 
This section if for boys to write stories about their Scouting  experiences 
which they would like to share. It can be about something they did  during 
den meetings or Pack activities, including things like family camp and  
Webelos Woods Weekend. There should be an achievement in every rank so writing  
will help towards rank advancement. 
I had a great time at Webelos camp this  summer. I went with Peyton and 
Timmy from my den. Some of my favorite things  that we did were swimming, first 
aid, and whittling. We got our whittling chip  at camp, which was really 
cool. One day it rained almost all day, at least there  were no mosquitoes. It 
was a light drizzle the whole day, but we still did  activities in the 
rain. We got to tye dye T-shirts that day, even though it was  pretty muddy at 
that place. That night we also had to cook our own dinner and  try to start a 
fire in the rain. We used my Frisbee to blow on the coals to get  the fire 
going. One of the other packs let us use their canopy so that we didn’t  
have to get wet while we ate dinner.  Some of the Den leaders had a belly flop 
contest and were dressed in  funny costumes. It was pretty funny.  Webelos 
camp was a lot of fun. – Cameron  Johnston

It was raining but that didn’t keep us from looking  good.
