Webelos Good Turn for Citizenship BL


The Webelos Den Collected about 10 boxes of books to donate to The Guidance Center of Long Beach. We delivered them on November 5 and met with some of the Counsellors and administrators. They had cookies and juice and candy for the boys and told them about their work and gave a tour of the library and some of the play rooms. We had a great time together and enjoyed doing something for other kids who will benefit from reading. Thanks to Alex's Mother, Valori Stedman, for arranging this opportunity for us and working so hard to get donations!

Raingutter Regatta




Wow! We had a great Rainguttter Regatta last month, and many thanks to the Jimenez family for sharing their excellent rain gutters with us and setting the whole thing up and then running the scoring. We also owe thanks to the families that donated the delicious cookies, cupcakes and milk for dessert! We also couldn't have done it without our wonderful judges - Thank you!

I was very impressed with the great sportsmanship that our Cubs showed, many times shaking hands after a match. They did a great job! Here are a few pictures so you can see the Cubs in action. If you have any photos you took that you would like to see shared, please let me know!
Thanks,
Barbara B
