Den 10’s Family Tree
Den 10 wanted to share some photos from their last den meeting. They were working on an elective called “Project Family” and one of the requirements was to complete a family tree. As an activity to demonstrate a family tree, Jared had the Webelos construct a Pack 104 family tree mobile. The photos shows the end result. Quite a tangled mess but better than expected for an on-the-fly project.
