Webelos Visit US Geologic Survey
Here are a few photos from our Webelos (Den 1) outing to the USGS, Menlo Park.
From Webelos Den Leader Mark Fulton:
We enjoyed a demonstration at an earthquake simulation table and a scavenger hunt for rocks on the library perimeter shelves. We had a good time and learned some neat things about earthquakes, USGS research, and rocks and minerals. Sometimes they also talk about maps. This trip was planned by Karen Anderson, another Fremont Webelos Den Leader.

Bear Den Visits Mission San Jose
The Bear den took time out from a rainy and cloudy Sunday to visit Mission San Jose. We saw a movie about the missions and details about Mission San Jose’s history, construction, and re-construction. Then we took a brief tour through the museum, the Mission itself, and the courtyard.

Wolf Den Goes Geocaching
The Wolf Den went Geocaching. I have a friend who does it quite a bit and he took us out and showed us what it was all about.

Fire Station Visit
On February 3, our Dens visited the Fremont Fire Station in Brookvale for a “Go See It” event and tour. The friendly and informative officers showed us the fire station, the engines and vehicles, and of course the fire pole!
Tiger Cubs Build Dinosaurs!
The whole den and their dinosaur models
April is dinosaur month in Cub Scouts. We made two models of dinosaurs at our last den meeting. One was made from wood and the other was made from thick paper. The boys had a great time, and their dinosaurs looked great!
