February 24, 2014 - I must say, Dylan is part of an amazing Den. The leaders go above and beyond to make the meetings special for the scouts. There is always a wow factor to the meetings. The boys have now finished all the requirements for "crossover", and they are concentrating on belt loops and electives. After the usual start - pledge, scout promise, scout law... - the scouts gave back to nature by making bird feeders to hang on trees. I am sure the birds will enjoy the bird feeders as much as the boys enjoyed making them. 
The scouts proceeded to research their amazing mascot, THE TIGER using books, magazines, and printouts. Looking through the material, they learned tiger facts that had them roaring by the time they finished the discussion. Good job Cubs!
The WOW factor - When you can't go to the vet, the vet comes to you! Dr. Woods; a veterinarian, and her rescued greyhound dog Issac came to visit the scouts. As the boys surrounded the dog (and Dr. Woods), they learned about how to properly care for pets at home, and the importance of visiting the vet on a regular basis. This part of the meeting culminated with the opportunity to pet Issac. Thank you Dr. Woods for your visit; and Issac, you are in good hands!
