Solar Heater Update

We've been working on our solar heater project and have finished our Prototype. It uses 64 pop cans and is slightly less than 24 inches wide by 48 inches tall. We have a solar panel to run our fans to blow the air through it and are awaiting a nice sunny day to finish testing it out. The Solar panel puts out about 5 watts of power. I picked it up at Harbor Freight for about $40. just enough power to run both fans for air in and air out. I'll be hooking up a temperature guage that I have for a computer to measure CPU and video card levels to see what the air temp in and out will be. Check out our Solar Heater Gallery to see more photos. More to come soon!

Don’t pop away those pop cans!

We are collecting pop cans for a solar project. During tonight’s meeting, Webelo den leader Tom Clark will be explaining to you more about this energy saving idea. We built a prototype out or cardboard so everyone can see how it will look when we are done. The finished project will be made out of wood and have some clear plastic covering it to keep the rain out. So save those pop cans!

Tonight’s activities

Tonight we are hosting a Lego statue building competition.
The winning entry will be able to display their creative statue in the church for all to see. Good luck and happy building! Or if you are not interested in the Lego competition there are other activities like ball tag outside, or you can play with Spooky the electronic skeleton. We hope you are excited!

Summer Memories

Next week we would like all scouts to bring in pictures, movies, written summaries and souvenirs from places you visited or interesting things that you did over the summer. Each scout will have the opportunity to make a presentation to the group and show us what you did over the summer.

Announcing our new assistant!

We have a new den assistant for the Webelos group.
His name is Joshua Clark and he is a 4th grader at Parkside Elementary school.
Josh is a 10 year old first year Webelo who is eager to gain some experience at assisting with scout meetings and activities. So, if you’re looking for Josh at meetings, he’s the kid with blond hair, big brown eyes, and a lot of cool ideas!

It‘s really Spooky!

But don’t be scared of this computer controlled animatronic skeleton, because “Spooky” is all about having fun! Find out how to make him talk and move, so you can have a conversation with your friends and neighbors this Halloween.
