Did you know? The pledge of allegiance to
the American flag was written in 1892 as a poem for school children to recite
once on Columbus Day. It was
never intended to be said more than once, but its popularity had children
reciting it on every Columbus Day, then as time went on every day (or once a
week) in schools across the country. The original pledge went as
follows. ÒI pledge allegiance to my
Flag and the Republic for which it stands – one nation indivisible
– with liberty and justice for all.Ó Excerpted from Extraordinary
Origins of Everyday Things, page
280.

Den News Tiger
Minutes The Tigers got together in September to work on their
Bobcat badge, and to make paper plate masks. There were several very creative masks that I was able to
see. I think the Tigers have a
favorite song as well. When
asked what they wanted to sing they all choose the Boom-Chicka song that
Karen sang with the boys at the pack meeting. At the next den meeting we will work on the scrapbooks
(Achievement 1 Den), so please look at the book and bring the items needed
for your scout. The date will be
set soon. Pack Trainer Positions I am still looking for two volunteers to spend about 30 minutes
a month helping me out. See the
September newsletter for more information. Leader Training There is a variety of in person and online training
available. See the September
newsletter for more information.
