Our second conservation project at Walden Pond is set for Saturday, October 16th. We’ll meet at 8:30 for donuts, hot chocolate and coffee while looking at the vast assortment of stuffed animals, beaver skulls and pelts at the Ranger Office at Walden Ponds. After learning about the the the the you the problem local ecosystem will head out to do some cleanup, repair century cages and maybe even add a few more in order to help the Walden pond environment. Ask any of those who attended our conservation project in May and I think you’ll find that was a lot of fun, a bit of learning and a great experience all the way around. Don’t forget to RSVP to the cubmaster so we have enough doughnuts and drinks for everyone and will see you on the 16th.

After the day’s activities we returned to our campsite to enjoy delicious tacos in a bag, along with some corn on the cob and grape salad. Then we headed over to the Estes Park Observatory to checkout Jupiter and the Moon as local astronomers brought out their telescopes and their knowledge of the stars to share with the scouts.

Tigers Learn About Boulder History
In a recent trip to the Boulder History Museum, Tiger scouts went on a scavenger hunt for historic Boulder items. Mining equipment, school books, phones and huge ice saws were all on the list of things the eager young troopers roamed through the museum seeking. They compared the desk schoolchildren of the early 1900’s used compared to the shared tables used by many students today. The wall phones were difficult to spot, when most phones today easily slip into a pocket.
1st Tiger Den Meeting
We had a great group of kids for our kickoff Tiger Den Meeting. After a spirited Flag Ceremony, we practiced the Scout Oath, Sign and Motto. The guys did a great job with all of it.
Then we jumped into creating our Pinwheel neckerchief slides project and imaginations took off. Markers, glitter and pens were flying as the kids turned construction paper into works or art.
All that work built up a healthy appetite and the guys worked together to build a delicious snack, Crunchy Dirt. When ready they each grabbed a mouthful and began chanting, “We love Crunchy Dirt, We love Crunchy Dirt!”
