Stephen Usery, ABS Wolf Den Leader, organized a Belt Loop Jamboree as one of his requirements toward earning his Wood Badge. This event took place at Athens Bible School on September 27, 2008. Cub Scouts throughout the Arrowhead District had the opportunity to earn three Academic Belt Loops (Wildlife Conservation, Language and Culture, and Map and Compass) and four Sports Belt Loops (Marbles, Badminton, Volleyball, and Flag Football).
The boys had so much fun earning those belt loops. Thank you, Stephen, for doing such a GREAT job organizing the Belt Loop Jamboree. Thanks to all of the parents, boys scouts and girl scouts that volunteered their time and effort to making this event a success, too.
The Tiger Den recently visited Jamie Whitt's Dairy Farm in Ardmore. I am sure they learned quite a bit about where our milk comes from. I wonder if any of them will want to work on a dairy farm some day...
The Tiger den met at Elkmont at the Red Caboose on Saturday, September 20th to do a little hiking. They had a great time and were able to earn some more miles toward their hiking sticks.
The following information comes from the following website: http://www.state.tn.us/environment/parks/DavidCrockettSP/index.shtml
David Crockett State Park was dedicated in May of 1959, in honor of one of Tennessee's most famous native sons. David Crockett was a pioneer, soldier, politician, industrialist and was born near the little town of Limestone in northeast Tennessee in 1786. In 1817, he moved to Lawrence County and served as a justice of the peace, a colonel of the militia, and as state representative. Along the banks of Shoal Creek, in what is now his namesake park, he established a diversified industry consisting of a powdermill, a gristmill and a distillery. All three operations were washed away in a flood in September, 1821. Financial difficulties from this loss caused Crockett to move to West Tennessee where he was elected to Congress. While in Washington, he fought for his people's right to keep land they had settled on the new frontier of West Tennessee. Crockett died at the Alamo Mission in March of 1836 while aiding the Texans in their fight for independence from Mexico.
Our boys had a great time camping, eating good food, and hiking!
