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.

Scout Night at the Warriors. Warriors vs. Pacers
Sounds like the Scouts had a great time at the Warriors game, and nobody suffered a serious nose bleed. Although some felt light headed due to the lofty altitude.

Great job Scouts. We collected a lot of toys and made it through the inspection. Those Marines weren’t messing around. Especially when it comes to getting the primo parking spot.
