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.

Note the information below regarding the Troop and a meeting about their summer camp information, medical forms, etc. If your son has bridged into this Troop, I encourage you to attend as there is still time for them to join the Troop at camp and help your son get well down the road to earning his Eagle. Camp is a great way for them to earn a number of merit badges in a short time.
If you have any questions about it, you can email me directly or if you can’t attend, but are interested in your boy going to camp with the Troop, let me know as I’ll be there on Tuesday night.
Just a note, as of this Tuesday night (even though the Webelos II will be racing in the Pinewood Derby with us), they should be attending their new Troop selection. There will not be a meeting of the Webelos II this Tuesday night and there will not be a Webelos II den with Pack 393 until we bridge up the Webelos I in May.

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

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.

I hope you’ve had a great summer. As we wind down the heat and humidity, it is time to ramp back up with scouting. I’m sure many of you have enjoyed the summer camps and activities that have been going on in the Occoneechee Council.
We will be holding a Pack Bike Ride this Saturday morning. This is an opportunity to bring out a friend, have your bike inspected and tuned-up and enjoy a morning ride in and around Lake Crabtree. We will be meeting at 9 a.m. at North Cary Park.
From 9-9:30 a.m. we will be inspecting and tuning up our Pack member bikes. Then from 9:30-11:00 a.m. we will take a group ride into Lake Crabtree Park. Be sure to bring your water bottles to keep hydrated, but we should have a great time.
The schedule heading into the fall is as follows:
- Regular Den Meetings on August 13th and 27th
- Regular Den Meetings on September 10th and 24th
Mark your calendars to be at the September 10th meeting as this will be our annual Popcorn Fund Raiser kickoff. Leopolda has some exciting announcements about this year’s popcorn sales.
Lastly, save the date of Oct. 23-25 as this will be the District Cuboree at Camp Durant. For those who don’t know yet, this coming year is the 100th anniversary of Scouts in America, so this Cuboree should be a bang up event for our boys to attend.
That should be enough information to get you started. I look forward to a great year with our Pack.
