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.
Brian

Hello Scouts and Families,
You are invited to join us for Sunday Services at Triangle Church (Sunday School at 10 a.m. to 10:40 and Church from about 10:50 to 11:45 a.m.) as this Sunday, February 7 is Scout Sunday and the 100th anniversary of Boy Scouts in America. If you can attend, please have the boys wear their Class A full uniform (hats, scarves and blue or tan shirts). I am not sure if some of our scouts or leaders will be doing anything as a part of the service, but we’ll look to try to all sit together, if possible.
Wendy and I teach the 3rd grade class on Sunday mornings, but I’ll see if someone can look out for those visiting with us on Sunday.
Hope to see you there and have a great week.
Randy

All,
Due to the impending inclement weather (and as one email pointed out that the pinewood derby cars don’t have snow tires), we have decided to postpone the pinewood derby until the last weekend in February. We wish it wasn’t the case, but given the amount of set-up and tear down and the predictions on the amount of wintry weather we are expecting, the Pinewood Derby guru and the Cubmaster both feel this is the prudent move so that we don’t have people making a trek in bad weather and/or being able to make it to the Church building and then it getting worse as they are saying the weather is going to go on most of Saturday.
The new date for the event will be Saturday, February 27 with set-up on Friday, February 26.
Thanks for your understanding and enjoy the winter wonderland with your families. Now it is free to snow a foot on Saturday so we can get some good sledding in.
Yours in Scouting,
Randy

All,
Hope everyone enjoyed a great holiday and has had a good start to the New Year.
Just a reminder that our meetings now shift to the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays at the East Triangle Building starting at 6:45 p.m.
The first Tuesday meeting will be next Tuesday, Jan. 12.
I am going to be away on business that night, but will work out to make sure the building is open (it should be since the Scout Troop meets on this night as well, but I’ll follow-up with Rudy to make sure).
Have a great meeting and as a reminder – we have our leaders meeting this Thursday at 7 p.m. and any parent is welcome to join us. We’ll be discussing the upcoming Pinewood Derby (end of January) and the Blue and Gold Banquet (late February).
Yours in Scouting,
Randy

Pack 393,
We will be delivering the food and gift cards to the Carying Place families on Thursday, December 17th at 6:00pm.
Greenwood Forest Baptist Church Fellowship Hall
110 SE Maynard Rd
Cary, NC 27511
Several people mentioned that they would still like to participate. If your family has collected food or money and have not delivered it to my home, please respond to this email. I will be purchasing the gift cards very soon.
Thank you to all the scouts who addressed envelopes, stapled, delivered or gathered bags! We have tons of food and very generous gift cards for each family.

All,
Here are the final details for the Parade.
Decorating in the Lowe’s parking lot at 10 a.m. (the Lowe’s off Maynard and NC 54). We should be done with decorating by around 11:30 to give folks time to get some lunch before meeting at Martin Architectural Company (511 E. Chatham St.) at 1 p.m. They ask that all riders be there by 1 p.m., but note that the parade won’t start until 2 p.m. and we will probably move out around 2:30. No personal cars are allowed in the Martin Architectural lot, so I’ve been suggesting that folks park in the back parking lot of Cary Elementary (where the parade will end ) or at the Baptist Church right there near the end of the route and walk over (about a mile) to Martin Architectural. Trust me, after having done this a few times, once you get done with the parade you want to have a short walk to your car. They also suggest carpooling where someone parks at the end and then carries others over to the start. That can work too. I will have my truck, but likely all four of my kids with me.
We are in slot 78 of 114 for the parade.
A little smaller than in year’s past, so the Parade should go a little faster than in the past. They’ve have over 200 entrants in the past.
It looks like the weather is going to cooperate with the forecast temperature a few degrees warmer than earlier in the week and the rain is supposed to hold off until Saturday evening or Sunday. It is still going to be chilly at 45-50 degrees, so dress appropriately. We don’t necessarily have to have our uniforms showing, but if you do – great and have layers underneath. If you have a Santa hat or festive items that you can wear, all the better. We will have our Pack sign on the trailer, so they will know who we are without our uniforms.
I look forward to seeing you out there and I talked to several folks, but if you could respond to this email to let me know that you are coming so we can begin to get a headcount and know who we are looking for. I think there will be plenty of room for everyone to ride on the “float”.

All,
It is that time.
The Popcorn pickup is this weekend.
You can plan to pick up your popcorn on Saturday or Sunday from 12-4 p.m. in the Twin Lakes Subdivision at 340 New Milford Rd., Cary 27519. Twin Lakes is near Davis Drive and McCrimmon Corners Shopping plaza in Morrisville.
View Larger Map
If you can give Andrea Wright a call to set up a pick up time for your son’s popcorn. It is important that we pick up the orders and deliver them this week as we had promised our customers that their orders would be in this before Thanksgiving. Let’s not disappoint them. Great job on the sale everyone and lets support Leopolda and Andrea and make their jobs easy this weekend.
Also, just a reminder that we will be having a Pack meeting on December 3 at 7 p.m. at the Triangle Church building. There will be more details out about this soon, but we want to take this opportunity to recognize any of the achievements that the boys have earned/completed this summer and fall. Please let your den leader know what achievements and belt loops your son has completed soon and I ask that the Den leaders make sure that Vivek gets details about whatever awards you have for your boys no later than next Friday, November 20.
Talk to you all soon and remember that there will be no meeting in two weeks on November 26 due to the Thanksgiving holiday. I hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving.
Randy
