The Beginning of a New Era!

Tigers, Wolves and Bears.  All have slipped into the past and we stand at the crest of the bridge looking toward Webelos.

15 members of Den 3 have made it this far and things will be changing.

Normally during the summer we don't meet as a den.  This year we are meeting 3 times!  See the calendar for information.  

As Tigers and Wolves we were a single den. As Bears we grew and our meetings were split between the Grizzly Bears and Polar Bears but the den remained united.

We have grown so much now though that we need to actually form a new den.  Yes, we will have a new Den Leader and Assistant Den Leader in addition to me.  We will have separate meetings (but on the same night) and while our program will be similar it will not be exactly the same.

The plan is to divide the den at our last summer meeting on August 26.  We will be talking about who will go with which den over the summer.  Your choice will be taken into consideration but there are no guarantees which den you will go with.
