Pack Meeting Monday, May 3rd

This is a reminder that at the pack meeting this Monday, we have baked goods. 

Also, if you owe any money for the food for camping, please see Nancy Sink to pay for the food.  It needs to be paid to her and not the pack.

This will be the May pack meeting, which only leaves this month for den meetings before June which only consists of the pack meeting, then we have summer activities.  I want to stress the importance of trying to get dues paid up before the June pack meeting.  I have some people that owe for dues, even the recharter money which was due in December.  If you are having financial issues and need to work out something, please see Steven Golightly (our treasurer) or myself to let us know what is going on.  There are also some people who owe money for the items for bridging.  If that is you, please pay these ASAP as they came out of pack funds.

Concession Stand This Saturday, May 1st

This Saturday is our concession stand at the church.  We need as many people to come and help out especially with setting up and breaking down.  This is a big fundraiser for our pack.  Unfortunately, most of time, it is the same folks that do all the fundraisers so we would like to see some new faces out there.  We are looking for help between 7am to 2:30pm.  If you can at least come a help for 1 hour, that would be a wonderful help.  Please let me know if you will be able.

Attention: All Who Went Camping This Weekend

It has come to my attention that some people still owe money for the food for camping this weekend.  The food was paid for by myself and Nancy and was not taken from the pack’s account, therefore it is owed to us.  Nancy has asked that for everyone who has not paid, you please do so this Monday at the pack meeting.  The cost was $12 per person so for a parent and child, the total was $24.

Webelo Camping and Tommorrw Night's Meeting

I just want to thank everyone for a great weekend.  Even with all the rain, I think everyone had a lot of fun.  You guys did a wonderful job and was able to get a lot of things accomplished.  We will be doing this again in October so we will have more opportunities to get a lot more activity badges completed.

Tomorrow night, we are going to be working on an art project for Artist along with discussing some of the things that they learned at camp this weekend.  I think I should have enough Stotch Tape for the project but, just in case, if anyone has any additional, and they could bring it, that would be great.  That way, if anything, each boy can work off their own roll. 

Once again, I want to thank everyone for a great weekend and I will see everyone tomorrow night.

Next Monday

Sorry to be confusing everyone but, the “thing” I wasn't able to get out of on Monday, I have been able to rearrange times so I will be able to be there.  So, we will go along with a den meeting as planned. 

Also, if everyone could respond to the email to let me know that they got this.  I am still unclear as to who exactly reads the emails I send out or not.  If you know of any one in the den that does not receive my emails, please let me know or if you would like to contact them, that would be great.

Monday, April 26th

We are going to a start working on the Artist activity pin.  We are going to do a project from that so I want to make sure that the boys are ready to work when they come into the den meeting.  I will not have time to stop to explain and if the boys can not control themselves, they will be asked to leave.

Day Camp money will be due at this den meeting.  It is $150 per scout.  After May 1st, the amount goes up to $170 per scout.   

Anyone who has no paid for their items from bridging, need to do so promptly as the pack paid for these items up front.  I have 3 that have still not paid.  If you need amounts of which you owe, please let me know.

Monday, May 10th

We will be working on a bird feeder which will involve the use of tools.  Once again, I will not have time to stop to wait for them to control themselves. 

Reminder for Camping this Weekend!

I have had several people ask about camping this weekend and the weather.  We will be camping RAIN OR SHINE!  Also, we will be letting everyone know the total per person for the food.  I can’t imagine it being that much per person but once we get the final amount, I will let everyone know.  If you decide not to come, you will still owe the money for meals since we are have based all the meals on the exact number of people that are coming.  As of right now, there is a 60% chance of rain.  I am hoping that the weather changes, if not, make sure that you plan correctly for the wet weather.

RoadRunner Meeting – April 19, 2010

Tonight, the boys reviewed their Cub Scout Promise, Law of the Pack, Scout Law, and Scout Oath. We will be reviewing this often in preparation for them to be receiving their Webelos badge.

The first ticket drawing will be the first den meeting of May which will be May 10^th. Since now, the boys should know what is expected of them in their den meetings so there should be no reason that each boy could not keep all 3 tickets to give them a better chance of being the winner. The winner will also become the denner for a month. So, whatever boy is the ticket winner in May, will be the denner for the meetings within that month.

We will also start recycling aluminum cans for the boys who would like to bring these in at the den meetings. This will be turned in to help with various projects that we are going to be doing as a den.

We worked on Leave No Trace and what that means. The boys were given worksheets that we are going to be working on. Boys that will be going on the camping trip this weekend will be using this practice while they are at the event. We also discussed parts of the Outdoorsman pin that they will be working on while camping this weekend.

Next Monday, April 26th, we will not be having a meeting.  Unfortunately, there is something that I can not get out of that evening.  Since I don't have an assistant, I am going to have to cancel the meeting all together.  I did want to remind everyone that applications and money are due for day camp that night so if anyone is planning on attending, you will need to get those items to the church that evening.

On June 12^th, we have a trip planned to take the Webelos to the Newseum in Washington, DC. This trip is to give them an opportunity to complete the requirements for the Communicator activity pin. The costs of tickets are $16.91 for adults and $11.61 for children. We will be taking the Metro and the Smartfare price round trip is $4.90. If you will be attending, we will need to know by May 24^th and the money for just the tickets will need to be paid then.

Homework for Next Den Meeting

1. Webelos Scout Parent Guide pages 1-22. Discuss with parents and have parents sign on page 49. This is the ONLY part of the book that the parents will be signing off on.

2. For the next den meeting, we will be building a project that requires tools. Each boy will need to bring screwdrivers and a hammer. Only hand tools are permitted.

Congrats!!

Congrats guys on becoming Webelos.  I don't know who exactly reads this blog from the den but I thought it would be a great tool to make sure that everyone is on the right page.  We are going to using this blog as a tool for what is for homework and just in case someone misses a meeting.

CONGRATULATIONS WEBELOS!
