Last weekend’s campout and upcoming meeting

Monday, May 24th, 2010

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.

Show-n-Sell Sign-up Times the weekend - Additional Scouts needed

Friday, October 9th, 2009

Pack,

Just a reminder for those who signed up for the Popcorn Show and Sell this weekend. This is the only fundraiser that we typically do to support the Pack. After talking to Leopolda, we’ve raised $1000 dollars from our first couple of Show and Sells. These locations are great, but there is a need for additional scouts to sign up and help this weekend. Please contact Andrea to sign up and have you son help support these efforts with our Pack. If you can’t make these events, please have your son sell in the neighborhood. We only have a couple of weeks to finish up.

In addition, I need to ask that a parent from each den volunteer to help with the popcorn money turn-in on October 24. That is going to be a busy week with the campout, but please contact Andrea and volunteer to help them with the den money that night. Since each den only has 4-5 boys currently, this should help facilitate this getting done quickly.

Thanks,
Randy

Special Den Meeting on 10-15-09 for Chuckwagon Camping Trip

Friday, October 9th, 2009

Hey everyone,

It was great to see several new faces at the meeting tonight. As discussed with everyone tonight, we need to have a meeting next Thursday for those boys who are going on the Campout October 23-25. During next week’s meeting we will organize all of the boys who are going into their dens for the event (mixing all of the dens together). Once we do that, the dens will work on a den name and decorate a flag for the dens for the Chuck Wagon Derby and then begin work on their Chuck Wagons. We will meet again from 6:45 until 8:00 or so to get as much as we can done and then we will work on finishing them up the following Thursday, October 22. We just didn’t feel we’d have enough time to work on them the day before having to go out to the campout event.

I do need one parent volunteer to coordinate getting the food for the weekend. The Pack will provide breakfast on Saturday and Sunday morning and dinner on Saturday night. Everyone will be on their own for dinner on Friday night and are asked to pack a bag lunch for Saturday afternoon “on the trail”.

Also, with all of the new faces and several new leaders of dens, I am looking to schedule a parent meeting in early November to try to fill out some roles that we need to get coordinated and put people in charge of, so be looking for details on that for early November.

Thanks everyone and we’ll see you next Thursday.

Randy
