Animal Tracks

I am the mother of a cub scout. It has been slow going so far with the program. But he really enjoys it and looks forward to his meetings each week. A couple of weeks ago, I learned I get to be the new Den Leader. I really was happy letting other people do this job, only not that much of the job was getting done. So, now that I have this opportunity, I figure I ought to make sure the program is running as it should be. Learning what I need to know has been occupying my thoughts to the point that blogging about other things has been impossible. So, I will blog about cub scouts.

I get to run my first den meeting tomorrow. As I have come into this month half way through, there is no way I can get everything ready for the field trip to the zoo that the program recommends for this week. I have decided then instead to bring the zoo or at least the animals to the boys. I am leaning on this site "Beartracker's Animal Tracks Den" to get all the information I need to have the boys following animal tracks all around. If you want to know all about animal tracks, go take a peak!

It is interesting to me that teaching 8 and 9 year-old boys can make me nervous. An hour a week is all. It is probably the worry over following the program and getting the boys to earn advancements that creates this nervousness. Still, it's only seven boys. They are good kids too. (Mostly...)

Wish me luck!
