You Don't Want Me to Eat That Peanut Butter?

Our February meeting took us to the home of Big Falcon and Little Falcon. This meeting signified our 5th tribal monthly gathering, which means that all members became eligible for a new bear claw to add to their Indian Guide nametag.

It was clear that many of the braves have been working towards earning more of their first year feathers, as there were a number of them who were able to recite everyones's Indian and real names, as well as recite the 6 YGuide aims. Congratulations go out this month to Whispering Frog, Running Bear, Rumbling Thunder and Surfing Tiger for their efforts. Little Falcon even showed off one of the crafts he had made - a pair of mocassins he was proudly wearing on his feet!

Our craft project this month was making a bird feeder. The pine cones used as the starting point for the project were delivered to each member as a part of the meeting invitation. After smearing peanut butter all over the pine cones (guess Big/Little Falcon didn't want to eat it straight from the jar!), the braves either rolled their pine cones in bird seed, or used their hands to sprinkle the bird seed onto the stickly peanut butter.

The project wrapped up early, which allowed the dads to enjoy the brownies while the braves were able to run around the backyard and work off some excess energy.

Sorry - No photos are available from this meeting - forgot to bring the camera.
