The Tiger Den and their guests witnessed the commissioning of the Navy’s newest warship in Seal Beach on March 6. The USS DEWEY DDG 105 is an Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer. Guests listened to a variety of dignitaries, including the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Admiral Mike Mullen. After the commissioning, the Tigers walked the narrow hallways of the ship and saw the on-board medical clinic, mess hall, and command center. See the Tiger Albums for pictures of the outing.

Well, maybe our Cub Scouts didn’t make it to Vancouver, but thanks to Tiger Scout Jackson’s aunt who brought her nephew’s Class-B shirt with her to the games, our pack was represented there. Check out these pictures of a Pack 811 shirt’s adventures in Canada!
The Cobra Den will have a den hike on Sunday, February 28th in the Aliso & Woods Canyons Wilderness Park near the Laguna Coast. We will be hiking to “dripping cave” and “cave rock”. The hike is 4.5 miles round-trip with only a few hundred feet of elevation gain/loss. Bring a snack so we can rest at dripping cave and enjoy some food before heading back. Note: If it rains that day or within 2 days prior, we will need to reschedule the hike as the trails are closed to prevent erosion.
Meet at the school lunch benches at 1pm that day. We will caravan to the parking location. Since parking is $3 per vehicle, we should carpool if possible. I expect us to return to the school by 5pm. Your family is welcome to join us.
A permission slip that you can find HERE will need to be filled out and returned to Cyndi or myself on, or by, the 28th. Also, please RSVP with how many are going. If you are dropping your son off with us and not going to hike with the group, please let me know this so I can arrange rides in the cars.
Wear comfortable tennis shoes, the scout uniform green T-shirt, and bring either a hat or sunscreen for the trail. Also, bring some water and a snack in a day pack. Lastly, bring the pocket knife and whittling chip card because we can.
Directions to trailhead:
Located in South Orange County, take the 5 frwy. to Alicia Parkway, head toward the ocean approximately 5 miles. The park entrance is located 100 yards south of Aliso Creek Road off Alicia Parkway in the City of Laguna Niguel.

Sunday, March 7th is our next outing for the Wolf Den. We will be meeting at the Lising Home after mass (about 11:15) and building cardboard ovens and grilling our own burgers. This is an idea that was shown at the leadership conference and WOW… are we excited to try this. We will also be making a cake in a dutch oven over real coals…. So the Brea Fire Dept will be on standby… hahaha just kidding!
Check out the plan here: http://cubpack811.org/library/Dens/Wolves/BoxOvenCooking.pdf
After lunch we will be playing video games and earning a belt loop for it…
We are asking for a $ 5.00 per scout donation for supplies and food. This can be paid that day.
See you then!

Another busy month is in store for the Tiger Den. Our next Den meeting is this Sunday, February 7th (Scout Sunday) at 11:00 at the SAM lunch area. Our theme this month is “Family”. Please be on time to participate in the cool game that Mr. Jamison has planned.
Family Scrap Book: Scouts will be constructing a “family scrap book” at the meeting. Please bring 5 – 8 photos (or color copies of photos) that your son can paste into his scrapbook. This will be the last “den” requirement needed for the Tiger Badge.
Share Time: Scouts will share what their favorite family activity is. We will also learn a magic trick that the scouts can demonstrate at home for the rest of their families.
GoSeeIt Preview: Mrs. Hinz.
Opening / Closing Flag Ceremonies : Tyler H. / Chad H.
Snack: The Currie’s
Rosary Series:
Those scouts that have finished the two Rosary Mysteries series we have been working on (The Joyful Mysteries and the Luminous Mysteries) will have a short review at the meeting with Mrs. Biederstadt. Click on the patches for the Summary and coloring pages.
Emergency Preparedness Award:
Those scouts that have finished the Emergency Preparedness Award requirements may turn in their sign off sheets. Remember that this also accomplishes Tiger Requirements 3f(a) and 3f(b).
Tiger Advancement:
A link to the achievement record can now be found on the Tiger Den Page. The password required to open the spreadsheets will be emailed to den families. Please be sure to email Jim R all accomplished achievements prior to Feb 16 in order for them to be awarded at the Blue and Gold luncheon. We have several scouts very close to earning their Tiger Badge, however, there is plenty of time after the Blue and Gold for all scouts to earn the badge.
After being washed out a few times by mother nature, the Tigers will be hitting the trail near Carbon Canyon this Friday afternoon, Jan 29. Scouts will meet at the SAM benches at 2:50pm in their Class ‘B’ uniforms. Comfortable shoes, a small water bottle, and a compass are recommended. Permission slips and a designated adult partner are required if a parent cannot attend.
