April Girl Scouts

For our Girl Scouts, this month we are learning about the ocean and the fish and animals that live there. We gave the girls some gold fish. My daughters died over night so I don't know if it took too long to get them in each aquarium or what. Some of the parents were not to happy with us but it was fun for the girls. We put some construction paper behind the fish tank so they could say they made a habitat. We learned about the food chain and talked about fish. It was fun and everyone had named the fish by the time they left.

April

This week we learned about our muscles. How they work, how to use them, and played games. We were able to raise the flag on our school flag pole. The kids loveed to do the flag pole it is realy big. I even had fun doing it. We then played a game of frisbee golf. What you do is get several boxes and put them in the yard or in our case we put them in field of the school. You show them how to toss the frisbee to each other. Then we played frisbee golf. We took turns and in the end it didnt matter who won the game. They just love to chase the frisbee. Fun was had by all

April Theme

I used the week to catch up all the boys on achievements they had to make up. We played marbles and eraned our belt loop and pin. We learned to tie flies and reported on a folklore story. We learned about the food chain, and more about conservation. This could be a time where you teach them about money and how much things cost. ( electricy, gas, grorseries, ect) This is a time to get to know the Cubs. Have fun

April

So you know I didn't like this theme so we went to the little pond over by my house and cleaned the area for our conservation award. You can have kids clean the school, church, park, anywhere where they would be safe. Make sure you get gloves for each kid and garbage bags that will hold up to glass and such. When we were there we earned our Fishing belt loop and pin. Which bring up you can earn any belt loop and pin any time. Go to the Scout Store and get a book with them in it. The kids loved to fish. We didn't catch anything (living in Utah) but we had allot of fun.

April Cub Cafe

April Theme is "CUB CAFE". Ok, I have just been asked to start a new Cub Scout troop. This will be the first time anyone has tried to make a troop that is school orentaed. The Boy Scout District is triing to get a comunity troop for each school. They say that only 40 percent of the Cub Scout age (1st to 4th grade) are in a scouting group of any kind. It is a shame that there is so many kids that dont have the opportunity to perticipate in scouting,,,,, SSSoooo if you know of any kids that would like to join a community Boy/Cub Scout group please let the Disrtict know and they will send you information. This theme was not my favorate.... You are to teach how a restruarnt is run. Go to the Supermarket and shop... ect. I didnt like this one so we fininished our conservation award. Tune in next week and I'll tell ya what we did....
