Also for Monday…

I also forgot to remind you that on Monday, we will have Pinewood Derby cars available.  You may either purchase them with your Scout Bucks (see Troy Frazier for receiving yours) or $5 cash.  The Pinewood Derby race will be January 29th so the boys will need to start these ASAP.

Pack Meeting this Monday 1-3-10

Just wanted to remind everyone that there is a pack meeting this Monday night.  The Webelos 2 will be bridging to Boy Scouts that evening.  Our den is doing closing so I expect all boys to be there.   For the closing, here will be the boys roles:

Narrator – Ryan

Pack Flag – Jacob

US Flag – Cooper

Evan and Reese will be backups if, for some reason, the other boys are sick.  Here is the closing:

Retiring of Colors – Indoors

Narrator

Actions

Will the audience please rise? (Pause.)

The color guard waits in the back of the room for the audience to rise and become quiet.

Color guard, advance.

The U.S. flag guard and bearer and pack flag guard and bearer walk down the aisle and to the flags. They stand behind the flags, facing the audience.

Color guard, salute.

The guards and bearers salute.

Color guard, retire the colors.

The U.S. flag is removed first (just slightly ahead of the pack flag).

Hand salute.

Everyone, with the exception of the guards and bearers, salutes. The U.S. flag stays on its “marching right” as the guards and bearers proceed down the aisle to the rear of the room.

Two.

Everyone drops the salute.
