Safety Goggles

As I was checking out a mini-marshmallow guns I saw an idea for a way to make safety goggles out of a 2-liter pop bottle.  I liked the idea so I thought I would post it here.  The ones I saw on Pinterest added duct tape around the edges to keep the goggles from cutting into the face. 

If you would like to learn more go to The Idea Room and you can see how she made the mask and her mini-marshmallow shooters.  Enjoy!

POW WOW Book Supplement

I just added the Pow Wow book supplement online on our blog so you don't have to find your disk to access it. Please SHARE this great resource with others on Facebook!

 Pow Wow Book Supplement

 So I would like to share it in any way possible.  It is a very good supplement.  I like the way it has pulled out the advancements for each den and hooked them to a core value.   You can either look at the core value for the month and see what all dens can do that month. (Great for small units that have to run more than one den together.)  Or you can just look at your den to see the progression over the year. I also like the record keeping forms.  It will be well worth your time to check it out.
