Important Pack Updates For This Week
This Sunday, Scout Sunday - Scouts Help Needed:
Sunday, February 13, 2011, is Scout Sunday at Westminster Presbyterian Church. It is important to Troop 366 that our pack participate in this event visibly considering the Church has supported the Troop for over 50 years. We are looking for 4 Scouts with at least one parent to attend the 8:30 service (arrive a little early). We are looking for 5-7 Scouts and 1-2 adults to attend the 11 am service. Past experience is that we will help to pass out the service bulletins and collect the offering. The Scouts may then attend the service. I understand many families have another church they regularly attend, but helping celebrate “A Scout is Reverent” in the Charter Organization service once a year is important to the Troop, the Scout, and to Scouting. Please consider how you could adjust your schedules to help out at one of these services on the 13th. Contact either Rick at rnrdiff@comcast.net or ricklang1@msn.com if you can assist by Friday February 11.
Adult Help is Needed to "Help the Pack Go" for the 2011/2012 school :
The following positions are needed within our pack for the next school year. Most are defined to a certain time period, though some have a degree of flexibility. You can contact either Rick at their emails listed above for more info, or contact our pack email (cubscouts661@verizon.net) to have your questions directed to the current chair. Open positions include: Assistant Cubmaster, Popcorn Kernal; Pinewood Derby; Cub Fun Day; Summer Camp; Secretary/Emails; Scouting for Food.
Updates from Monday's Pack Meeting:
Pinewood Derby: If you have any questions about the dimensions of your scouts derby car, there should be a paper outlining them in the box the model came in. Additional questions, you could refer to the googledoc on our blog (from 2010) which may be helpful to you.
-Car numbers - will be assigned Friday evening and will be placed on your vehicle for you.
-Friday night weigh-in - Come anytime between 5 - 9 PM. Come in on the earlier side if you think your car may need any modifications.
-Race Day -The action starts at 9 AM at Westminster Church Fellowship Hall. Tigers and Wolfs will start their races and when they're done, the Bears and Webelos will race - so these guys may want to be there a little before 10 AM. There will be a short break between the two sets for voting for design prizes(most scouting, most patriotic, most creative and funniest). If you can't make it, as long as your car has been checked in on Friday night, it will race. While there on Saturday, scouts should be sure to get their "license", patch and other goodies.
-District Races - This is open to all scouts and will be on Saturday March 12, cost for participation is $7.50. If you'd like more info, ask at the race.
May Community Day Parade: Our pack is planning to march, will you join us? Community Day will be on Saturday May 21 at 11 AM. More info to follow.
Spring Pack Camp Trip: Plans are underway for this fun family campout. Once dates are confirmed for May, we'll pass along the info.
