Cub Scout Den Meeting

During tonight's cub scout meeting, the boys learned the first two lines of the Scout Oath, the Scout Motto, Scout sign and salute.  I did not know that Collin already knew the sign and salute.  He did great learning the Motto and the lines of the Oath.

Next, they worked on a word scramble that included the words of the Oath.  They were timed to see who could find the most in 8 minutes.  I was shocked to see that Collin was the only one to find all 12 during that time. We do work on word searches because he really likes them.  Guess it paid off.

Dad got involved when it was time to learn to tie two different knots....the square knot and bowline. The boys caught on quickly learning the square knot but had trouble with the bowline.  I don't blame them because that one was tough!

After the meeting, the boys played a little together.  He had a great time and is loving Scouts so far.
