THEME: HOLIDAY LIGHTS

Have you ever caught a snowflake and studied it? Each has its own unique shape and structure. No two are exactly alike. There may be some that are similar, but none are the same.
Every person is unique, too. You have your own unique contribution to make to the world. You have you own unique gifts and talents that will benefit you and those around you. You have your own unique style, laugh, dreams, and strengths.
One snowflake will melt in an instant, but think of what happens when all those snowflakes are together in one place at one time. A pile of snow can make a ski jump, block a highway, provide water for a town, or carve the sides of a canyon. A lot of snow can accomplish things one snowflake can’t, but it takes all of them working together to be successful. Let's unite ourselves, each unique individual, and work toward the common goals of citizenship, service, physical and spiritual strength, and brotherhood, and see what a contribution we can make to the world.

FAITH IN GOD

All dens participated in making a Gingerbread house for the Gingerbread House Festival. In the Developing Talents section of their Faith in God books, the fourth requirement would fit this activity. “Make an item from wood, metal, fabric, or other material . . . Display your finished work for other to see.” If your boy attended the den meeting when they made the houses he accomplished this req. They were then displayed at the Festival, too.


*There were no awards this month, but I know you are all working hard for your next achievement.
