Pinewood derby this Saturday at 10:30

Wednesday, February 24th, 2010

All,

The rescheduled Pinewood Derby is this Saturday at the church, starting at 10:30. We’ll do quick introductions and should be on the track by 10:45. The racing groups are as follows (in order):

Tigers
Cubs (Wolves & Bears together)
Webelos
Championship (race-off of winners from 3 race groups above)
Outlaw race

The top 3 fastest cars from each group (Tiger, Cub, Webelos) will then participate in a pack race-off for bragging rights and serious hardware. If all goes smoothly, the event should last about 2 hours.

The 3 fastest cars, plus best design and most unique from each group (Tiger, Cub, Webelos) will be recognized and advance to the Crosswinds District Race the following Saturday, March 6. For the district race, a car can enter for speed OR a design award, but not both. Those scouts recognized for both speed and design at the Pack 393 race must choose one category in which to compete. Registration for the district race has to be completed by Monday, March 1st,.

Racing Rules:
1. Within a racing group (Tiger, Cub, Webelos, Championship), each car will race four times, one on each of the 4 track lanes. The total added time from those 4 runs will determine the place within the group.
2. The fastest three cars from each group will then race in the Pack Championship. In the championship, each car will have another 4 runs, the same as before. The total added time from those 4 runs will determine the overall championship place; plus serious hardware and bragging rights.
3. If during the race the car loses a wheel, or is otherwise damaged, the racer shall have 5 minutes to make a repair or the car is disqualified.
4. If a car leaves the track, runs out of its lane, interferes with another car, loses an axle, etc., the heat will be rerun. If the same car gets into trouble on the second run, the contestant is disqualified and automatically loses that race. If, on the second run, another car is interfered with, the heat will be run a third time, but without the disqualified car.

I look forward to seeing you there.

ONLY FOR WEBELOS II PARENTS BRIDGING TO TROOP 393

Monday, February 22nd, 2010

Note the information below regarding the Troop and a meeting about their summer camp information, medical forms, etc. If your son has bridged into this Troop, I encourage you to attend as there is still time for them to join the Troop at camp and help your son get well down the road to earning his Eagle. Camp is a great way for them to earn a number of merit badges in a short time.

If you have any questions about it, you can email me directly or if you can’t attend, but are interested in your boy going to camp with the Troop, let me know as I’ll be there on Tuesday night.

Just a note, as of this Tuesday night (even though the Webelos II will be racing in the Pinewood Derby with us), they should be attending their new Troop selection. There will not be a meeting of the Webelos II this Tuesday night and there will not be a Webelos II den with Pack 393 until we bridge up the Webelos I in May.

Food Collection Campaign Results

Monday, December 14th, 2009

Pack 393,

Great news!! We have collected $518 and lots of food!! I’m still hopeful that we can reach $700.

Please bring any food and money collected to my home by tomorrow. I will be at my Cary home from noon to 4pm. You may also leave it on my back deck if those times do not work for you.

Please plan on joining us this Thursday evening to deliver the gifts. Look for an email with all the details.

I hope all the scouts experienced the “holiday spirit” by participating in our community service project!

Food Collection Wrap Up Tonight

Thursday, December 10th, 2009

Pack 393,

I hope that the scouts had amazing success on Sunday and enjoyed the project. My boys were so excited at each and every door that there was a bag waiting for them!

Please bring your food and cash donations tomorrow to the den meeting. If you are unable to attend, please bring the donations to my home in Cary by Sunday evening.

There has been a suggestion of making thank you cards. I would like to encourage you to make them individually for your neighbors, especially for those who were very generous!

Please consider donating food and money yourself. What a great way to teach by example!

I really appreciate all the efforts by the pack to complete this project. I hope that you will be able to join us next week when we deliver the food. You can truly see the impact of your help!

See you tomorrow night.
