Wolf

Welcome to the Wolf Den

Den Number 1

2nd Grade or 7-8 Yrs

Den Leader  Nicole Turner

Our Goals  A year-round family, home, and community centered program that encourages ethical decision-making skills.

Summary  The boys will learn more about staying healthy, knowing their home and community, tools for fixing and building, cooking healthy, being safe, making good choices, and much more.  The parent signs off in the scout's handbook and the Den Leader records the advancements from the handbook in our tracking software called Scoutbook.

2) Complete one Wolf elective adventure of your den or family’s choosing. 

3) With your parent or guardian, complete the exercises in the pamphlet How to Protect Your Children From Child Abuse: A Parent’s Guide, and earn the Cyber Chip award for your age.* 

*If your family does not have Internet access at home AND you do not have ready Internet access at school or another public place or via a mobile device, the Cyber Chip portion of this requirement may be waived by your parent or guardian.

Note:  If the Cub Scout has not previously earned the Bobcat Badge, it must be earned before the scout hits the Trail toward his Wolf Badge.

Wolf Den Meetings and Pack Meetings:

Pack 777 Wolf Den meetings will likely be held held on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of every month (September - May) at West Valley Christian Church.  Once you are a member, you can look on the Tiger calendar on ScoutBook.com for this information and on all Wolf Den specific meetings as well as the monthly Pack 777 meetings.

Pack Meetings are typically the second Tuesday of every month from 6:30-7:30 pm and are held in the Connecting Place of the West Valley Christian Church.

If your Wolf missed a den meeting, check with your Den Leader to see what you missed and should complete at home.  There will likely be a message initiated through Scoutbook to inform you what was covered at the meeting.
