Today's read was St. Nicholas by Ann Tompert. This one is beautifully illustrated and although it contains a lot of pure legend, the true story of his life and generosity are also made quite clear. A nice introduction to the life of this saint. For even more info, activities and ideas for celebration St. Nicholas day, visit The Saint Nicholas Center.
In the spirit of generosity shown by St. Nicholas, the boys each made ornaments with their scout dens that will decorate Christmas trees to be given to local families this season. These families might not otherwise have a tree or decorations, and the boys are always eager to make this contribution. At our next pack meeting we'll sing songs, have snacks and each den will get to hang their unique ornaments on the trees.
Here are the directions for making these cute snowman ornaments Will and his cub den made today.
