2009 Planning Meeting this Thursday June 4th

Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009

To All Scout Parents

The 2009 Cub Pack 393 Planning Meeting will be on Thursday, June 4 from 7-9 at the Triangle Church building.

Please plan on being there early as we’ll make formal plans for the full year and schedule in dates and make our campout plans so that we can let everyone know the planned dates.

In preparation, I ask that everyone think about the following questions and come with comments, suggestions and input:

  1. What do you like about our Pack? Along those same lines, what is your favorite Pack event and why?
  2. What is working in our Pack?
  3. What do you think we need to do differently or better?
  4. What would you change about our Pack?
  5. What can I do to improve the Pack this year and how can I get someone else involved with that activity to help them be more involved with the Pack?

Thanks, I’m sure there are other questions that will spin off of these. I want to spend some time talking about this area first (15-20 minutes or so) and then do some planning hopefully implementing some of the things we discuss here.

Look forward to a great meeting with you all Thursday, June 4.

Jordan Lake Camping Trip – April 24-26

Friday, April 10th, 2009

Pack,

We won’t be eating bugs and you won’t be voting anyone out of the campsite, but we will be going camping April 24-26 at Parker’s Creek out at the Jordan Lake campgrounds. The plan is to arrive before 8 p.m. (when the gates are locked) and set-up camp, settle in and have some S’mores before hitting the hay.

The next morning, breakfast will be provided by the Pack and cooked by members of the older dens (with some help).

10 – Noon – The Den’s will be split into competitive teams from among those in attendance and some friendly competition on Cub Scout skills will ensue.
Noon – 1:30 – Lunch
1:30 – 3:30 – A continuation of the friendly competition
3:30 – 5:30 – The friendly competition will end with a parent/son fishing tournament. In this catch and release tourney, the members of the teams will be able to score points for each fish they catch. May the best angler win.
5:30 – 7:30 – We’ll be putting together some Hobo meals and cooking our dinner before stoking the fire for our own Tribal Council and evening campfire, where there will be more S’mores, skits, songs and fun. Oh, and we’ll name a team victor and award some prizes before packing it in for the night.

Sunday morning will bring a light breakfast, a short devotional and leave for home.

Families and siblings are welcome to attend, but we need you to RSVP to me by April 17 so that we are able to know the amount of food to purchase. While we have been flexible with our response time to emails in the past, it only takes a few seconds to check you schedule and respond with who and how many are attending once you read the email. Please respond by April 17 so that we can “be prepared.”

Have a great weekend and we’ll see you all on Thursday evening.
