Parents,
This Wednesday we are starting a segment on Strategy Games. We will start with the Chess merit badge this Wednesday and over the coming weeks will be playing some strategy board games and participate in a multi-player video game activity.
We've chosen an X-box game rated E, a paintball shooting game. Let Ben Hodson or myself know if you have any objections to this. This is planned for Wednesday February 13. We will try to have up to 16 players simultaneously playing the same game. The purpose is to foster teamwork, learn to work in teams, taking roles and assignments to accomplish the game objective. We'll likewise do this with board games on Jan 30.
We've recently completed the Welding merit badge and are planning a Court of Honor for Feb. 27. Since fall we've completed Orienteering, Golf, Welding and will have Chess complete. I have lists of all Scouts who completed these badges except for Golf. Please, ask your Scout if he participated in both of our Golf outings, and let me know. If so, he will earn the badge.
Thanks,
Bro. Sorensen
