Pack 157 Leader Appreciation

Thank Your Special Den Leader!

Have you hugged your kids today ? This is a question you see on bumper stickers and hear on television commercials promoting good mental health. Fortunately most of us don't let a day go by without giving our kids at least one hug. If fact, if you would like to do so you can reach over and give your kids a great big hug right now!

My next question is, have you thanked your den leader today? Unfortunately this is one thing that many of us forget to do. Your den leader is a volunteer whose only pay is your thank you and the warm feeling they get when they see the look of pride on your sons face when he successfully accomplishes his achievements.

Your den leader has given your son a special gift. They give him the gift of their time. They give their time by attending training sessions, planning den meetings, going on field trips and working on a special night like tonight. The den leaders time which is very well spent helps to mold these cub scouts into the type of men we wish them to become in the future ....

Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful, Friendly, Courteous, Kind, Obedient, Cheerful, Thrifty, Brave, Clean and Reverent.

I know that we all want what is best for our sons tonight so please help me to thank those who have given your sons the very best. Applause!
