Our den is using construction paper folded in half, glue & glitter, and crayons (you may use whatever you have available). You may address the troop as "Dear Friend, Hero, Soldier, etc..." KEEP IN MIND, the card your scout makes may be the only thing the soldier gets from home and he/she will appreciate it beyond words and hold it dear.

We all know that the holidays are a time for thinking of our loved ones and friends. This is just one of the many things that make this time of year magical. Our Den (Phoenix) is going to extend those thoughts to our heroes fighting in Iraq. We will be making home made Christmas cards for our troops and sending them to Iraq in time for Christmas.

I am inviting everyone to participate by helping your Scout to create his own unique Christmas card for one of our troops (you are welcome to make as many cards as you like, the more the merrier).

Scouting for Food
A big
Thank You
to all of you who participated in the Scouting for Food program. Check out the photo on the right to see most of the happy Scouts that participated.
Belt Loop and Pin Requirements
If you are interested in what Academic and Sports Belt Loops and Pins are available, and what the requirements are, check out the Academics and Sports page.
Flag Retirement Service
If you have an old flag that you would like to have retired, we can help. Check the Flag Retirement page for more details.
Web Site Designers Wanted
You may have noticed that the background of the web site looks a lot like the Wikipedia. That's because it's using the same web engine. However, it doesn't have to stay looking like Wikipedia - we can customize the "Skin" however we want. If you have any experience with HTML, Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), or developing logos or pictures using Photo Shop or Gimp, and would like to contribute, contact Glen Dinsmore.
Web Site Sponsor
A huge thank you goes out to Straight Line Caulking & Waterproofing for providing the funds required to get the Pack 794 and Troop 792 websites up and running!

Home Depot (8850 San Ysidro Ave., Fax 408-846-1476) has a Kids' Clinic on the 1st Saturday of each month at 10:00 AM. Meet out front or in the lumber area.
