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

Don’t forget to look through the email that Andrea sent out and begin making plans for your son’s to participate in the Show and Sells for Popcorn. I’m excited this year that we have a number of Morrisville locations (the new WalMart and Sam’s Club) that should help us sell popcorn and work to our advantage in recruiting new scouts in the Morrisville area. I know that things are busy, but please support our Pack and Leopolda as she helps us be successful.
- Saturday, September. 26th - Harris Teeter/Harrison Pointe
- Sunday, September 27th - Harris Teeter/Davis Drive
- Sunday, October 4th - Lowe’s Home Improvement (corner of Maynard/Chapel Hill Road)
- Saturday, October 10th - Walmart/Morrisville
- Sunday, October 11th - Sam’s Club/Morrisville (has been scheduled for 10 am - 4pm)
- Saturday, October 17th - Walmart/Morrisville (more scouts needed)
- Sunday, October 18th - Triangle Church (for church members only)
Please note that she is going to need a few volunteers to help with keeping track of Pack totals and will need a couple of people to help the District when the popcorn arrives to aid in unloading and distribution. They have asked for at least two volunteers from each Den and I believe that they need some people this week to do this and they will definitely need help when the final orders come in in November. I will ask that if you haven’t volunteered for an activity to please volunteer to help your den leaders with this to allow them to focus on the boy’s programs and please talk with Leopolda on Thursday to let her know who from our Pack can help with the District unloading and distribution.

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.
