Cranberries?
Viking Council
Did you know that the Pilgrims gave
the cranberry its name? They thought the pink cranberry blossoms resembled the
heads of cranes, so they called them "Crane berries." This was later changed
slightly to "cranberries."
Look up pictures of cranes and the
cranberry bogs of New England. During your den meeting, make fresh cranberry
bread for your den snack.
