Pack 320's Bear Den Page
for helping your son have the best time of his life!
With only two Den meetings since the last Pack meeting, the Bears were able to learn about marbles, and earned their Marble Belt Loops at the first meeting. If you’ve been wondering why you’ve been finding marbles in the car, stepping on marbles in any given room of the house, or you’ve seen your Bear put down the Nintendo DS for a good old fashioned game of marbles, you now know why!
At our last meeting, the boys made binocular neckerchief slides (this came at a perfect time, since a certain Bear in the Gamboa household can’t seem to keep track of his slides). This fun little project helped keep our energetic Bears quite occupied, while exercising their fine motor control (those “binoculars” are tiny!).
At this point, the boys are looking forward to attending the Admirals hockey game next week. Let’s keep our fingers crossed for a good game—and one that teaches our children about Good Sportsmanship!

We had four scouts from our Den attend the Arboretum Cleanup. After all that hard work, it certainly was fun to jump in the leaves! One big lesson learned: be careful with the red berries growing there—they REALLY STAIN!
The Bears really enjoyed a visit from a couple of police officers recently. No, they weren’t being arrested! They talked to the boys about stranger awareness, and gave them good advice should they ever be approached by a stranger. The boys knew a lot of the tips they were given, but one important lesson the police officers wanted to teach them was that strangers don’t have to look mean or scary to be dangerous. Don’t be fooled by a pleasant looking person offering gifts! The police officers talked about their jobs, and answered a lot of questions from the scouts. They sure were inquisitive that evening! Before the officers left, they gave each boy a goodie bag filled with all kinds of neat little treats/gadgets.
The Bears really enjoyed helping out and participating in the parade (as the whole Pack did)! They felt proud to be able to give to the Toys for Tots drive. What a way to kick off the Holidays! The Bears would like to wish a…
Merry Christmas filled with Peace, Health, and Happiness to all of the Pack 320 Family!
Welcome back Sam Armistead, Hunter Moore, and Alex Walker! We have already made blue and gold beaded slides for our crisp, new bear neckerchiefs. We are off to a slow start, as we have only had two meetings so far, but we are very excited about the coming months and working on our Bear requirements.
