What is a Chuckwagon Derby?
A Den pulls a covered wagon from station to station while doing different skills. The wagon must be made by the Den and Must have a free standing Den Flag. The Wagon can be as simple as a regular child’s wagon with an arched cover. Some packs have home made wooden wagons that they made some time ago for past Chuckwagon Derbies. You can get some ideas from the “How To” book and from going to Google (search for “Cub Scout Chuckwagon Derby Plans“) Try to make your wagons authentic as possible. You will need to bring a bag lunch to have on the trail while you go from station to station. Your wagons will need to have some materials in them to use at some of the stations.There will be Sheriffs on the trails that will check your wagons for the supplies.

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.

Randy
