The Goofy Den Leader

Welcome to the new year of Scouting! Jeremy covers how our Pack starts each year with loads of fun and activities, how we do it, and what his den is up to the next few weeks!

Jeremy & Liam with a quick hello, "Happy New Year's", and a thank you for 300 listens!

[Trigger Warning: Loss of a Relative] Prompted by the death of his grandfather and recorded the Sunday before Thanksgiving, in this episode Jeremy reflects on how each of us influences the Scouting journeys of those around us and how we need to focus on what is learned along the way, not on ranks/requirements alone to provide the best program possible for our Scouts and their families. #papawasali...

Jeremy gives an update on where we've been, what the Den has been up to, and how the Pack wrapped up 2022!

Happy Thanksgiving! No talking, just a minute of the Atlantic Ocean meeting the shore on a quiet evening. We're visiting my wife's family for the weekend and I wanted to share this beautiful place with everyone. :)

Working as a team to take care of our Scouting family

Jeremy shares his thoughts and some perspective on how to handle families letting you know they're leaving Scouting for a time or permanently.

We begin a series of kid-chosen topics for the podcast. First up is Part 1 of (many?) on Rosie's choice of Camping!

Jeremy gives a rundown of what we've been up to, how the Pack's STEM Day & Open House went, and how he's preparing for the Fall with his Webelos I (4th Graders) Den.

To further discussions and support dialogue on topics covered here on TGDL, we started a Facebook page! Join us at https://www.facebook.com/TheGoofyDenLeader/ .

We introduce Rosie, who is VERY excited to join Cub Scouts and the podcast! 😀

I accidentally left these off the previous Summer Camp episode, so without further ado...

Jeremy talks about the various types of Cub Scout Summer Camp opportunities offered by Districts and Councils, what they involve, and how to choose the right one for your family.

For your enjoyment - no talking, just a minute of North Carolina forest sounds on a summer morning.

Jeremy discusses how Rosie is officially part of the Pack now and SO excited to join us soon on the podcast with her perspective!

A conversation with Liam about Bridging our Den up from Bears to Webelos this week and what changes as our Scouts learn/grow as they prepare for Crossover to the Troop in 2 years.

Jeremy talks Bridging, end of year dates, and Summer Pack plans.

I share a quick summary of our first post-Covid District Camporee experience in preparation for chats with Liam & Rosie about the experience.
