All,
A few of us met and scheduled us out into the early part of September, so I wanted to get that out to everyone.
The schedule for meetings is as follows:
June 8 – regular meeting
Monday – June 21 – Pack Meeting – we will be giving out all of the advancements for the boys who have earned their rank badges (Bear, Wolf, etc.). Please have your boys bring their books with all of their signed off information for the den leaders to sign off on at the regular meeting this coming Tuesday. If you can’t be there, please forward any advancement notifications to your den leader so that they can prepare to award those at this Pack Meeting. We had to move it to Monday due to several folks with Swim Team conflicts on Tuesday night.
July 13 – regular meeting
July 27 – regular meeting
August 10 – regular meeting
No meeting on August 24, but we will have a Bike ride on Saturday, August 28. More details on that at a later date, but we are planning to combine this with all of the Pack getting their biking belt loop, so save the date.
Also, save the dates of September 24-26 as this is when we have scheduled to take a Pack camping trip to Washington, DC and we are working on trying to get a tour of the White House. More on this trip as we confirm those details.
Should be a fun time, I know that many folks will have vacations and some are going to Cub Scout Day Camps and such. This schedule should hopefully help everyone with planning their schedules.
Thanks,
Randy

All,
We will have a brief 1 hour leaders meeting on Thursday at the building.
The agenda will include:
1. Summer meeting schedule and plans
2. June Pack meeting – needing to reschedule off of Tuesday, June 24 due to Swim Team schedules causing several to miss the Tuesday meetings in June
3. Late summer bike ride organization
4. Early planning for Fall DC Campout in late September
5. Need for an Assistant Cubmaster to step in for the coming year (don’t worry, I’m not going anywhere, but I want to start identifying someone to take over and train with me hopefully for the coming year).
I look forward to seeing you all there from 7 to 8 p.m. Thursday.
Randy

Webelos II,
We have planned a family cook out for the Webelos den.
Date: Tuesday, May 25th
Time: 6:30 pm
Location: North Cary Park
The pack is providing hotdogs, buns and condiments. Each family will need to bring a side dish to share. Please RSVP to this email to confirm whether you will be attending and what you will be bringing.
Al has planned on having the boys work on their sportsman pin after dinner. We forward to seeing everyone at the park!

All,
I hope you had as much fun as I did on the campout. We made it back with just a couple of scrapes, bug bites and one bunny burn, but I think the boys were sufficiently worn out and enjoyed themselves. I know Brian Flack took a lot of pictures and hopefully we have many others as well.
A big thanks to the Boy Scouts and Mr. Rudy and Mr. Bill for coordinating the compass, archery, and BB gun range activities. I think everyone had a great time and we appreciated the Older Boy Scout’s help and support.
Just a couple of meeting notes, none of the cub scout dens will have a regular meeting this week due to the campout (other than the Webelos II, who had an already planned cookout for Tuesday, so Kelly will get you all details).
So our next meeting will be on June 8 and then we’ll meet again on June 22. The June 22 regular meeting will be converted to a Pack meeting and we will give out all of the earned badge/rank advancements at this hour-long celebration of our year. Leaders, we will have a meeting on Thursday, June 3 at 7 p.m. at the building to coordinate for the Pack meeting and awards and to coordinate plans for the summer (end of summer bike ride, Camping trip scheduled for late September, etc.). Any other parents who would like to join us are welcome and encouraged to attend.
Thanks again to everyone for a great campout that I’m sure is etched in our kids minds. My kids have been talking about the Vindow Viper all morning.

Pack 393 Pirate Campout:
What is this? – Pack Spring campout. We will be using the Cape Fear Council’s BSA Camp. Several of Troop 393’s scouts will be joining us and helping to run some pirate treasure hunts with compasses. In addition, we will be using the camp’s archery and BB ranges. There is also a full-sized wooden pirate ship and we will be organizing some pirate war games with marshmallow shooters, so please remember to bring the one’s we made last year with you (or the one’s you received from selling popcorn so that you can make the Cubmaster walk the plank).
This should be a family campout to remember, so hopefully you have saved the date.

All,
Apologies for having to postpone from Thursday, but my son’s first baseball game is that night and I need to be there to cheer him on. In lieu of the meeting Thursday, I will get details out to the pack on the campout in a couple of weeks and ask our leaders to stay until 8:45 next Tuesday after our meeting is over at 8:15 to coordinate plans for the bridging and to help with a few other logistics. I think overall the events of the weekend are mostly planned with help from our troop. The main thing I need is some help with the campfire (ideas for the bridging) and the food.
Thanks everyone and I’ll see you next Tuesday night at the meeting (and briefly afterwards).
Randy

Webelos II,
Tonight we will have the Morrisville Fire Department finish up the Readyman requirement. We will work on first aid and have CPR dummies to teach the boys.
See you tonight!
