Thanksgiving Pack Meeting

 

 

 

 

Upcoming Events

Hello all. I have now recovered from the campout and ready to move forward. I decided on the fly to not corral the boys at the campout for a den meeting so we’ll make it up after Thanksgiving. I got some info that everyone needs to read and respond so that I know you got it and if you plan to attend.

Popcorn: It is coming in on Saturday and I will pick it up. I need to get it to folks ASAP because I am out of town all next week. So, I will have it with me at the football end of year party where I should catch Brooks (x2) and Beard. Collier and Washington will pick up their own from Tim Spafford’s. So that leaves Myers and Blake for me to catch this weekend. I will call you after I pick it up and make sure you get it.

Leader’s Meeting- A leader’s meeting is planned for Tuesday night, as above, I will try to catch it by phone but I will get whatever info to you ASAP next week.

Den Meeting: December 6th at Home Depot on Schillingers Road. Time 10AM Activity: Building an art easel and a tools scavenger hunt.

Den Meeting: December 14th at St. Dominic (Pavilion): Will work on Acheivement 3, 4, and 12. Please review with them and complete the healthy habits worksheet (which takes 2 weeks) and bring it with you.

Den meeting: January 10th at 5 Rivers Center Time: pending. Will hopefully get the conservation beltloop and finish up any last achievements. Remember that 7-12 is to be done primarily as a family.

Campout: Chickasaogue 2 Night campout January 30th -February 1st (Friday through Sunday) Guided hike and service project on Saturday and group event in the afternoon.

Web Site: I need pictures to post on the new website. Send them my way.
Other events coming up…. Thanksgiving Pack Meeting, Christmas Skate Pack Party, Den meeting to work on Derby cars, Derby Race… so we got a lot of things coming up.

Beltloops: Attached is a copy of the beltloops that I am ordering to award at the Thanksgiving Pack Meeting. Review it and get back to me for any changes by Wednesday, November 19th.

Question:

I would like to go to the Gulf Coast Exploreum and Fort Conde for a den meeting. Problem is that the Exploreum is a little costly (about $25 for parent and child) for admission and IMAX. So I was thinking we would do that in February if all agree. Let me know what you think on this one…..

Upcoming events

I need some suggestions and want to bounce some ideas out there. I want to go to Home Depot for a den meeting and the Gulf Coast Exploreum in December and January. Then go back to outside stuff starting in February with a trip to the 5 Rivers. What do you think? Also, I would like to have 2 night camp at Chickasabogue and Jamie, the park ranger, will help us with a real nature hike and possibly a service project on Saturday afternoon. I am thinking January would be a good time to plan this and we can show off our Christmas gifts.

Chickasabogue Camp Out

In the past, Annette and I have made a slide show and a scrapbook for the cubs, but I still think we are missing an opportunity to spread the good news. So, I thought this might be a good way for everyone to share their experiences and thoughts. Share what you learned. Share what works and doesn't work.

That being said, the Wolf Pack and some Webelos went camping at Chickasabogue Park on Saturday night. Here are a list of things that I learned:
1. Campside chats late into the night create some really funny memories. (and better friendships)
2. Josh Washington is a good man to bring camping; I still have a little tent and wagon envy.
3. 25 people at a campsite use ALOT of water in one day.
4. Sack omelets rock!!!!!
5. Clint Brooks can cook some pancakes.
6. The scouts all had a good time and there were no serious injuries... mission accomplished.

Here are some things that did not work so well....
1. I need to get directions BEFORE leaving for the park.
2. 45 degrees is COLD.
3. Tent walls do not block much sound.
4. Do not throw Evan's 3 legged frog away... (I still maintain my innocence)

I hope that you folks that did remember cameras will send me your photos to post. Please leave comments but remember this is a place to share and smile, not whine and moan...

God bless and I can't wait for the next one.
