Cub Scout Day Camp 2009!

It's time to register for the 2009 Cub Scout Day Camp! Christopher had a blast last year! They keep them busy from 7:30-3 Monday through Thursday and then from 7:30-noon on Friday. They can qualify for patches in archery and BB guns. Friday is a Fun Day with water activities and all sorts of obstacle courses and games. So far, I know that Christopher, Mauricio, and William are definitely going from the Wolf Pack and Thad and another Tiger Cub are going so join in on the fun! Early registration is $85 and is due by May 8th. You have until May 18th to register but after the 8th it's $115 so get those forms in NOW!

The Blue and Gold banquet is a big time for all the scouts. The skits (although hokey for most of the adults) are great for the kids. Just think about it, by the time they have to give a speech in high school; these kids will have been up in front of an audience about 100 times. Now that's a life lesson.

Pinewood Derby 2009

The Pinewood Derby

What an exciting time for all the scouts. I think this is the best event of the year. It is hard to explain 150 people in the Murphy Center chanting for a block of wood to anyone who hasn't been there and done that.

Pinewood Derby

"Let's get ready to rumble" was the start of the 2009 Pack 143 Pinewood Derby. William Blake and Mauricio Washington got us started; then the racing began. The overall top finishers were Evan Kaz (1st), Ben Spafford (2nd), and Gunner Morgan (3rd). It was a great time with cheering all around the room. There will be pictures to follow. I am so proud of all the boys for there hard work.

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…..
