Our boys had a wonderful tour through our local fire house. Not only did they get to check out the fire trucks and the ambulance, but Randy, our fire fighter guide took them to all the places no one else gets to see. They saw where the fire fighters sleep, where they work out, where they cook and eat, and where they watch t.v. not to mention "the pole". The Wolves were very well behaved and even left the department with a den yell.
This was a check off in their handbooks (9C) and also goes towards our Hometown Discovery Patch, which we also worked on while we slurped down our Frosty's. Check out the link to see if you have completed any of the other requirements.

The invitation to participate in the Highland Fling flag raising ceremony also includes an invitation to participate in the Highland Fling parade. There is a Boy Scout who is doing this activity to earn his Eagle Scout and would like as many Scouts as possible to be involved. I asked the boys if they wanted to go and they said "yes" then "no" then "yes". I will be at the flag raising ceremony and at the parade with my children. If your boys decide to go, I can give you any information that you need.
Our Wolf Den party is scheduled for this Wednesday (7/23) at 1:00pm. The boys will check off their last requirment for Cooking & Eating (8E-cook an outdoor meal) and have some fun checking off some electives. We have been talking about it all month and they are very excited. I will provide hamburgers, hot dogs, condiments and drinks. Brother Price will be here as well and will be bringing the watermelon. Have your boys come in clothes that they can get wet and bring a towel. Please have your boys bring their favorite snack. I am guessing this den meeting will go a little longer, if that's okay.
If you have any questions let me know.
