We began the meeting by discussing how we communicate.  Then we moved into practicing our skit for the Blue and Gold banquet (that was unfortunately cancelled do to COVID-19).

We started this meeting by covering how to properly fold the US flag.

Homework:

At this point you should have the YPT training completed. Also, you should have created your own mini first aid kit for hikes, and should be working on Paws of Skill part 3 at home. We also had some homework on pages 36 and 85 for the Paws on the Path and Call of the Wild adventures.

10/25/19 – Call of the Wild

We practiced making knots for the Call of the Wild adventure. We also worked on some stretching and yoga for the Elective Paws of Skill.

⁃ Paws of Skill 1, 2

Homework: Do your daily exercises.

10/18/19 Paws on the Path and Call of the Wild

We covered some adventures relating to hiking and the outdoors. We also showed off our first aid kits and talked about their contents.

We covered:

⁃ Paws on the Path 1, 2, 3, 4

⁃ Call of the Wild 4, 5a, 5b, 5c. 7a, 7b (I’m not sure if these numbers are correct)

10/11/19 – First in-church intro meeting

We played ice breaker games and started our den flag.

Homework was to create your own mini first aid kit for when we go on outings. Your first aid kit should include things like antiseptic wipes, antibiotic ointment, bandages, gauze, hand sanitizer and whatever else you think you might need. An old Altoid tin or even just a plastic bag will do for the container. Other suggestions would be tweezers, tick remover (yay New England!), gloves, and moleskin.
