Scout Sunday is February 7th @ Triangle Church

Thursday, February 4th, 2010

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

Happy New Year - Meetings Change to Tuesday nights - same time 6:45

Tuesday, January 5th, 2010

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

January leaders meeting

Monday, December 14th, 2009

Hey all,

I hope that everyone is ready for the holidays. I know that I am.

With that in mind, I wanted to get on everyone’s calendar to have a Cub Scout Planning meeting on either Thursday, January 7 at our typical meeting time (7 p.m. – remember we’ll be moving to Tuesdays in the New Year) or on Jan. 9, Saturday morning around 10 a.m. I’d like to try to do it on Thursday, if possible, and as I know many of us have busy weekends already, but let me know what works for folks and we’ll go with the one that the most people can make.

In the new year, much like we’re moving to Tuesdays, I’d like for us to keep the first Tuesday open for Cub Scout Planning each month, but it is particularly important that as many of us that can make the first meeting so that we can make plans through to the summer (camping, Pinewood Derby, Blue and Gold and spring camping/outings).

2010 is going to be a fun year, but I also want to thank everyone for their efforts so far this Scouting year and I wish you all a safe and restful holiday with your families.

Talk to you soon.

Randy

Holiday Service Project 2009

Wednesday, December 2nd, 2009

Pack 393,

Our pack has a wonderful opportunity to help serve our community. In light of the recent economic changes for many people, we have decided to team up with The Carying Place to provide some desperately needed assistance this holiday season. The Carying Place provides transitional housing for seven homeless, working families for 16 weeks.

So here’s what we are going to do….

We have planned a food/cash donation drive. In the past we have canvassed the Breckenridge neighborhood. This year we will distribute the bags individually within our own neighborhoods. Our goal is to collect $350 which will provide each family with a $25 grocery card and a $25 gas card in addition to the food. Last year we were also able to include a $50.00 Target gift card!

I would like each pack family to consider donating as well. This would be an excellent time to talk to your boys about compassion and to teach them that we all need to help others.

Ideas to consider:
1. Have your scout donate some of their own money. (there’s no better way to teach kids to serve then by giving their own money)
2. Make a list of chores that they could do to earn money to help these kids.
3. Have them talk to friends/family/neighbors about our project and ask for a donation.
4. Search through your pantry and pick out food that they like to eat and have them donate it instead.
5. Set a goal of how much you would like to raise
6. Be an example: donate and participate in the project!

Thursday, December 3th at 7:00pm: Meet at Triangle Church for Pack meeting.

As a pack, we will assemble the bags for distribution. Please bring a stapler and an estimate of the number of bags your son will need. You may canvass just your personal street or branch out to other streets as well. I would like to see each scout distributes 25 bags.

Friday, December 4th: Distribute bags in neighborhoods
Sunday, December 6th 4:00 PM: Collect envelopes and bags.
Thursday, December 10th: Bring food and money to den meeting at Triangle Church.
Thursday, December 17th 6:00pm: Deliver gifts and food to The Carying Place.

So here’s what we need from you:

1. Talk to your boys about our project. Get them excited and have them participate!! They will experience the joy of knowing that they made a difference in someone’s life!!
2. Donate and participate yourself.
3. Ask for donations when you are out in the community. Many local stores and restaurants will generously donate gift cards.

Those who participated in the delivering of the gifts and food last year know the incredible experience the boys had. They were proud of what they achieved and realized that they made a tremendous impact on these families. I hope you will consider all that we have to be thankful for and help make this year even better than last!

Yours in Scouting,
Kelly Coman

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.
