Reminder: Adult/Leader meeting tonight; Room 107 8pm

Hi,
A friendly reminder that this month's adult/leader committee meeting will be tonight, Monday Oct 15)  at 8pm in Westminster Room 107 ("The family room" - near the playground).

Cub Fun Day; the details (important - location change!)

Fun Day - 10/14/12

Info from Brandon...

Looking forward to a good day on Sunday with our 30 registered cubs! 

A few reminders:

1. New Location- moved to Altoona and Monroe groves. These are sites 2 and 56 on the attached map- by the BMX track. Don’t forget that Broughton Road is closed in the direction coming from Bethel Park- you should probably come up from Corrigan Drive.

2. Arrival / checkin is at 12:30. Activities start at 1:00. Program runs until 5:30, but in the past it always winds down early and you can of course leave early. I think you should plan on being there at 5:00.

2. Check in with me when you arrive. I need to make sure that I have a phone number where I can reach a parent (if you are not staying). I’ll be collecting the $6 registration fee- cash or check made out to Pack 661.

3. Check out with me before you leave! I always need to know how many scouts we have. I should have patches for the boys when they check out.

4. This is a good day to wear your new Red Pack Shirt if you bought one at the last pack meeting! You don’t need to wear a uniform.

5. Eat lunch before you arrive! Bringing a water bottle is a good idea too. A small backpack (like the ones from Day Camp) are also good to carry around any crafts or BB targets that you will be bringing home- along with a snack & water bottle if you bring them.

6. I’m bringing a wagon. One or two more would be helpful. Let me know if you can bring one, also let me know if you are going to stay for the afternoon. I’d like to have about 5-6 adults.  (e-mail cubscouts661@verizon.netwith responses)

7. Jacque Schultz is asking for help with the setup (morning), running stations (during), teardown (after) - she really needs our help to ensure success! Contact cubscouts661@verizon.net with your availability (morning/during/after)

See you Sunday!

Pack Meeting Tonight, Monday Oct. 8

Pack Meeting tonight Monday October 8!
7:00 PM Westminster Presbyterian Church Fellowship Hall

Lots on the agenda for this month...
*DUES collection! $50
*Final POPCORN announcements!
Have you been selling? Orders and money are due soon! Remember, highest seller from each den is entered into a drawing. Winner gets to hit the Cubmaster with a pie at the November meeting!
*T-SHIRTS are in! If you ordered one at the last meeting, or would like to get one (we had extras made in both youth and adult sizes) they are $5 each.

*New TIGER CUBS will be awarded their neckerchiefs

*Scouts will be working together towards earning a BELT LOOP

*Parents will take part in YOUTH PROTECTION training
The Boy Scouts of America places the greatest importance on creating the most secure environment possible for our youth members. To maintain such an environment, the BSA developed numerous procedural and leadership selection policies and provides parents and leaders with resources for the Cub Scout, Boy Scout, and Venturing programs.
Youth Protection is valid for 2 years.

*RECRUITMENT! If you know a boy in grades 1-5 who is interested in joining Pack 661, please encourage them to come to the meeting. We're really depending on word of mouth to get more boys (especially Tigers) this time around. You can also encourage them to let us know they are interested by going to http://cubscouts661.blogspot.com/
Did you know that if you bring a friend and he joins you can earn a "Recruiter" patch?

But wait! There's more!
*Last chance to sign up for Cub Fun Day, Sunday October 14. (We need to have everyone registered by 10/9). Cost is $6.
*Elson Farm Camp Out. If you haven't heard, the date of the camp out has been moved to November 10-11. It might be a few degrees cooler - so we'll build a warmer fire!

As we are trying to keep the meeting in a reasonable time frame, Summer advancements will not be handed out this month. Everything earned since last June (and there seems to be a lot!) will be part of our Court of Honor at the November Pack meeting.

Looking forward to seeing you tonight! Remember, if you have an interested friend, bring him!

Fall Fun Day, camping date change...

Last Call ! Cub Fall Fun Day
