Hello Webelo's and Parents,
 
Great job yesterday at the Pinewoon derby, what a fun time it was and you all had great cars.
They all looked pretty cool....
 
As a reminder we will not be having a Den Meeting on Jan. 31st  as the Pinewood derby took its place.
We will be having a meeting on Feb.7 at Holy Cross Church with the Boy Scouts @7:00 pm.
Please be in Class A uniform.
 
Remember to study your book as time is running short and the test is comming up soon.
 
 
Take Care

Hello Webelos and Parents,
 
I hope everyone had a wounderfull Christmas and are ready for a great new year.
Remember there is NO meeting Monday Jan. 3.....
 
I am sorry the Web-O-Ree was canceled, I was looking froward to having fun.
We are working on getting the money refunded and I hope to have it back to everyone soon.
 
As you know we needed this outing for our Arrow of Light, so I am working to make arrangments
for us to go to Flaming Arrow on Sat. Jan. 8th for the day and watch the Highlands Games. 
This will be a day only outing.
We will be looking to leave at 8:00 am Sat. morning and return home around 6:30pm.
I am working with Troop 515 to see if we can have lunch with them and shadow the unit for part of the day.
As things come together I will update everyone.
 
If you have any ideas or questions Please call me.
 
 
Thanks
Mr. Brian

Good evening Webelos and Parents,
 
On Saterday , Dec. 18th, at 2:00 pm I will be offering a Whittling Chip class. This class is a requirement for the  Jan. Web-o-ree carving portation of the campout.  The boy's must have the card on them to carry a pocketknife durning the campout.
Some of you already have this as we did it as Bears.  If you do not have your card you will need this course. It is always good to have a refresher course as I do not want anyone to get hurt.  
We will also have several boy's from the Webelos I Den as they need the course as well. 
Please bring a bar of soap and your pocketknife.
If you have your Bear book please read pages 146-151.
 
Thanks
 
Brian Porta
Webelos II Den Leader

Hello Webelo's and Parents,
 
I hope you all had a wounderful Thanksgiving, I sure did, but now it's time to get ready for the Space Derby.
If you need help with your rocket let me know so we can get together and work on it. I am open every night except Thursday.
 
We will be having a Den Meeting Monday night Dec. 6th, at 7:00pm.
 
Remember Pack dues must be paid if you plan to race in the derby.  $15.00 to B.A.S.  and $45.00 to Pack 515.
You can pay at the Den Meeting Monday Night.
 
Also I need to know if you and your son are camping on Jan. 7,8 & 9th for the Web-O-Ree. It should be alot of fun.
Again this counts as our requirement for a Webelos over night camping trip and day trip with the Boy Scouts. Both needed for the Arrow of Light.
Please make checks payable to the Gulf Ridge Council for $30.00 . This includes most of the food and all of the craft activities.
We will go over more at the Den Meeting.....
 
I will see you Monday Night
Mr. Brian

Hello Webelos and families,
 
Dont forget there is no Den Meeting Monday night as we have a Pack Meeting Tuesday night at Garden Grove School.
Just because we are not meeting does not mean you dont have to study.....
Review pages 52-59 and page 65.
You boys should know it better than me now.
 
Dont forget we will be meeting at Adam Caulders house again Sunday afternoon at 5pm for the Athlete Acheivement.
All are invited to attend, or you will have to do it on your ownand I will still need the paperwork turned in to me.
 
I hope to see everyone there
Mr. Brian
