2. As a family, attend a religious service in a church or other setting where people gather to worship. (Wolf Requirement 11C practice or demonstate your relgious beliefs)

3. Learn how to say a grace, prayer, relgious thought or inspirational message. (Wolf Elective 11E Sing a song that would be sung as a grace before meals.)

Wolf Den field trip

We are scheduling a Wolf Den Field Trip for Monday August 4th to visit Metro's Recycling Center for Wolf Requirement 7C. It is the only day that we will be able to get in before school starts and the Recycling Center only does tours on Mondays and Fridays. This is a free activity and the tour lasts just 1 hour and the kids get a "recycled" product at the end.

This tour also fulfills one of the 3 requirements for the Beautification Scout Award that Metro offers as well.

Currently there are only 5 spots left for our group tour. Please let me know if you plan on attending since there is a cap on how many people can attend each tour. Email me for our group tour time.
