NOTES TO DEN LEADER
The den meeting plans for this adventure include all requirements. Conducting the den meetings as outlined here will ensure completion of this adventure. You may adjust these meeting plans as desired, keeping in mind to include the minimum requirements to earn this adventure.
The outing in this adventure is not a den meeting. There are two activities related to this adventure: participating in a community service project and completing an elective requirement to participate in an event or parade celebrating veterans. This den meeting plan only covers the community service project. Discuss options for participating in an event or parade celebrating veterans with the parents of your den and other leaders in the pack.
You may want to invite a military veteran, member of the fire department, police officer, or community service worker to talk to the den (requirement 3) during Meeting 2. Also, make arrangements well in ad- vance for shipping the military care packages the Scouts will assemble at that meeting. For assistance, contact a local military base, National Guard station, USO office, or American Legion post. The office you contact may be able to suggest items for the packages.
See the appendix for optional den meeting activities, including gatherings, openings, and closings.
