Parent Leader Meeting - Upcoming Events

Friday, November 6th, 2009

Parents and leaders,

Thanks for attending the meeting tonight. I feel great about the volunteers that we had and encourage everyone to participate with the upcoming events as we have a lot of great events planned. As a reminder, here are the committees that we have and that need support:

  1. Recruitment/Registration/Retention: Jeannie Repage (Chair)
  2. Fundraising (popcorn): Leopolda Ramos (and everyone give her congrats for all of her efforts to coordinate this event for our Pack – it is a lot of work and she handled it well)
  3. Blue and Gold: Thanks to Marilyn Adams for volunteering to chair this committee – she won’t be able to do it alone so consider volunteering to help support her for this once a year but important event. It is just around the corner on February 21.
  4. Pinewood Derby: Brian Flack (Chair) and Rudy Rowell is the only other member. They can’t do this alone, so please help volunteering to help with this event coming up in January. We need to start planning to have some derby car building activities in December and early January so that every boy is ready to race.
  5. Communications and Social Committee: Juan Ramos (Chair)
  6. Camping Committee: (needing a chair), Vivek and I are the only BALOO trained members of the Pack who can take us camping, and Bobbi is going to send out details on the upcoming training that will offer this key training for us. We need a couple of others to get trained so we have plenty who can officially take us out into the woods.
  7. Cubmaster: Randy Basinger
  8. Assistant Cubmaster: Open slot. I would love to have someone to assist me in this role.
  9. Pack Trainer: Bobbi Stanley
  10. Treasurer: Bobbi Stanley
  11. Tiger Den: Brian Flack, Leader
  12. Wolf Den: Neil Donovan, Leader
  13. Bear Den: Juan Ramos, Leader
  14. Webelos I: Kelly Coman and Al Sullivan, Leaders
  15. Webelos II: Titus Taylor and Ron Repage, Leaders

We need some assistants for the younger dens, so please consider helping these folks out in these roles.

As I mentioned, think about it through this month and let me know how you would like to help the Pack at our planned pack meeting in December.

ANNOUNCEMENT: The Boy Scout Troop is moving their meeting night to Tuesdays starting in January and it was discussed that we need to move the Cub Scout meeting night to coincide with the Boy Scouts for many reasons. So the plan is that starting with our first meeting in January we will go to the second and fourth Tuesdays each month.

That means our first meeting in January will be on Tuesday, January 12th.

Please mark your calendars for this change and also let me know if this creates any hardship for you. We want all of the boys to be able to participate in Scouting and I want to work with you, so let me know.

UPCOMING EVENTS through the end of the year:
Den Meetings on Thursday, Nov. 12
No meeting on Thursday, Nov. 24 (Thanksgiving)

Pack Meeting on Thursday, December 3 (we are going to start having Pack meetings every other month on the first Tuesday of the month)

Den Meeting on Thursday, December 10 (this will be the final meeting of the year due to Christmas holidays)

Cary Christmas Parade on Saturday, December 12 (more details on this to come, but I’ve talked with the Boy Scout Troop and I believe our Troop and Pack will be walking in this together, we’re even talking about doing a float again, so keep watching your email for details, but save the date. This is always fun for the boys.)

Lastly, Kelly Coman is going to be providing details on a community service food drive that we did last year and will be doing again this year, so watch for her email and there will be further details at the December 3 Pack meeting.

In the Future: There are plans to go to the next Scout Night with the Carolina Hurricanes (this should fulfill one of the Tiger’s Go-See-Its). Watch for emails on the details as we need to buy tickets by December 30. The game itself is the Hurricanes against the Avs and it is Friday January 8.

There are a whole bunch of other fun events upcoming. Thanks for all who are already volunteering and I am excited about the future of Pack 393.

Yours in Scouting,

Randy

Cub Scout Chuckwagon Derby Wrap-up

Monday, October 26th, 2009

All,

Those of us who went camping, you are all now veterans of a true camping experience (wet camping). Hope you had a good time. The boys had a lot of fun on the “trail” despite the rain and it was fun firing the bottle rocket into the air (thanks Neil).

Anyway, before I head out of town again, I wanted to get a quick message out to remind those who have not turned in their popcorn money to get in touch with Leopolda to schedule a time to go to her house to get your money turned in. I think the boys have done well in selling this year.

Also, we have a regular scheduled leaders meeting on Thursday, Nov. 5 at 7 p.m.

I am requesting that every member family have at least one person in attendance as well as we are going to be planning through the end of the year and will begin the planning for the Pinewood Derby, the Blue and Gold and camping in the spring. We have had several committee members move up with the graduating Webelos to the Boy Scouts and we need to fill in those positions. So please come prepared to volunteer on a committee or with a den. We have some great den leaders, but we also need to identify some backups for them. In addition, I need to find someone to back me up as the Assistant Cubmaster. These are all important roles and we need everyone’s participation to make things run smoothly.

I look forward to seeing folks on Nov. 5. Have a great Halloween if we don’t speak before then.

Randy

Show-n-Sell Sign-up Times the weekend - Additional Scouts needed

Friday, October 9th, 2009

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

Trail’s End Popcorn - Show and Sell Dates and Times

Tuesday, September 29th, 2009

Check the Pack Calendar for the Dates and Locations

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.

  1. Saturday, September. 26th - Harris Teeter/Harrison Pointe
  2. Sunday, September 27th - Harris Teeter/Davis Drive
  3. Sunday, October 4th - Lowe’s Home Improvement (corner of Maynard/Chapel Hill Road)
  4. Saturday, October 10th - Walmart/Morrisville
  5. Sunday, October 11th - Sam’s Club/Morrisville (has been scheduled for 10 am - 4pm)
  6. Saturday, October 17th - Walmart/Morrisville (more scouts needed)
  7. 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.
