WEBELOS:

Friday, September 6th, is Cub-o-Ree.  There will not be any Den meetings on Thursday this week.  

The Webelos will meet at the church at 3:30pm on Friday.  The Webelos leaders will take them to the Cub-o-Ree, and drop them off at home after the activity.  Because they are being transported by the leaders, they need to have a permission slip filled out.  I have attached one here for you to print out, or Robyn will have copies on Friday for you to fill out when you drop off your cub.

Please have the cubs wear their uniform, but do not bring their books.  The leaders will make sure everything gets properly marked off next week.

The Webelos will be attending classes to work on: Handyman, Artist, and Geologist.

Also, the Webelos are invited to attend the activities on Saturday that are part of the Bear and Wolf Cub-O-Ree; this would just be on your own.

WOLF & BEAR DENS:

Saturday, September 7th is Cub-o-Ree.  There will not be any Den meetings on Thursday this week. This activity is super fun for the boys and they are able to pass off a number of requirements and electives, but it is best done in small groups.  We are asking parents to take their boys, or get together with a neighbor cub to go to this activity.  Some of the leaders will be attending, but not all can be there.  The leaders will not be chaperoning this event.  If you have not paid your $5, you can bring it to me before noon on Tuesday, or just register at the event ($7).

Please have the cubs wear their uniform.  If they want to do the climbing wall, they need to have the consent form filled out - http://www.gslc-bsa.org/openrosters/docdownload.aspx?ID=90432.

Due to leader conflicts, and to allow the sisters to attend RS meeting, we will be canceling Den Meetings on August 22nd.

The rocket building (that was scheduled for August 22nd) will take place as the opening activity for Pack Meeting next Thursday, August 29th.  Boys and families can build rockets from 6:30-6:45pm.  We will begin the meeting promptly at 6:45 and we will launch rockets during Pack Meeting.

Just a few items to note for August:

1. Thursday, August 1st is our Annual Summer Water Activity.  Come to Monarch Meadows Park for water sliding fun from 6:15 to 7"15pm.  Wear your swim suit.
2. Den Meetings begin again August 8th.  They are held on Thursday's from 6:15-7:00pm at the church.  Please make sure your cub attends each week - especially on August 22nd, they will be building Rockets for a Rocket Launch at Pack Meeting.
3. Pack Meeting will be held on August 29th.  There will be an activity beginning at 6:35 for people to do as they arrive.  The meeting will start at 6:45pm and we will finish at 7:30pm.  The Cubs will be launching the rockets that they made during den meeting.

As we begin this new year, we are going to make some changes to Pack Meeting.  The purpose of Pack Meeting is to celebrate each Cub Scout's accomplishments during the preceding month.  It should be a fun time for the entire family.  Based on this, we will be trying to keep it to 45 minutes, and we will be inviting all members of the family (yes parents, that means you too!) to participate.
