All,
I had a great time at the Blue and Gold and enjoyed seeing the Webelos II bridge over into Boy Scouting. I want to send a special thanks again to Marilyn and Brian Adams, who are new to the Pack and I thought did a great job (with help from some vets) of decorating and making the day special for the boys. My sons (and daughters) had a great time.
Just a couple of reminders:
We do have den meetings this Tuesday night at 6:45 at the building. We then have the Pinewood Derby coming up on Saturday and I’m sure Brian will be getting more details out about that in the next couple of days.
Following that, we will have our representatives to the District Pinewood Derby racing at the District event on March 6th (the following weekend, hard to believe it is already March). Also that first week of March, we have a Pack meeting on Tuesday, March 2 so be sure to get your Den leaders any achievements and belt loops that your son has earned this coming Tuesday so that he/she can let Vivek know for the awards at the Pack meeting.
Finally, there will be a committee meeting on Thursday, March 4 and all leaders and any parents are invited to be there. This will be an important one as we plan out the rest of the spring and make plans for the other den bridging. So leaders, please come prepared to provide an update on where the boys are and if there is anything that we need to do to get the boys ready to move on to their new dens by the end of May.
Thanks and I look forward to seeing all of you at the Pinewood Derby next Saturday. Also note that we will be re-chartering the Pack at the Pinewood Derby, so please plan to sign your boy up for another great year of scouting.
Have a great start to the week and I’ll see many of you on Tuesday night.
Randy

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.
Kelly Coman

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.

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

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

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

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.
