I have been replaced as the Cub Scout Committee Chair by Krissy Shields.  We are now waiting for the Wolf Den Leaders Replacement.  Krissy and Wendy will carry on until we get their new replacements.  I am hoping that Krissy will keep up the Pack Blog, so let her know if you appreciate it.

Pack Meeting will be Weds. Sept. 19th at 7:00PM at the the Church. The theme is Take a Bite Out of Crime  This will be our Parents meeting.

Well it has been a great 3 years in Cub Scouts and I look forward to the new challenges in my new situation.  Keep up the good work and KISMIF (Keep it simple, make it fun!)

Pack Meeting, Wed. July 18, 7:00 PM at the Cub Master Devey's back yard (680 N 400 E).  We will be having a flag retiring ceremony.  There is limited seating so if you don't want to sit on the grass, please bring your own lawn chair.

We have the date for Cub Scout Day Camp.

Cub Scout Day Camp will be Weds., July 11, from 7:45 AM to 1:00 PM. They will leave the church at about 6:45 AM and be back about 2:00 PM. Each boy will need to bring a sack lunch and please wear a Class B uniform.

Every boy and leader is required to have a Scout physical form A & B filled out and taken to camp with them. If you haven't filled out this form and gotten it to me or to your boys Den Leader, he will not be allowed to go to Camp. No physical is required, just the form filled out.

To find out more about Day camp go to http://www.utahscouts.org/openrosters/vieworgpagelink.asp?orgkey=290&linkkey=33436. Where the programs are explained. Have a great month and hope to see you at Pack Meeting.

A class B uniform is a T-shirt which has a Cub Scout emblem. If you have one from the past that still fits, use it. Other wise you provide the t-shirt and we provide the emblem. Contact your Cubs Den Leader.

Another thing that will be fun at day camp is the chance to duel with staff members (adult staff too). No, we won't be doing it with weapons but rather knots. Each of the staff members will have ropes (in their holsters) ready to duel. A youth can challenge a staff member to a duel using 1 of 4 knots:

  • Overhand
  • Slip
  • Square
  • Bowline
If you win the duel you will be given a ticket you can turn in at the trading post for a piece of candy. So practice those knots!! Come to camp ready to challenge a member of the staff to a showdown. It's going to be fun!!

March Calendar

Happy St. Patrick's Day.  My Mom's people were Irish so this is a special day for me!
Round Table: for Cub Scout Leaders will be Thurs. March 8, 2012, at 7:00 PM at our Stake Center on the corner of 300 N and 100 E.

Pack Meeting, Wed., March 21s, at 6:30 PM at our Church.  Bring the whole family, including little brothers and sisters, and those big brothers and sisters who can come.  Our theme is "Litter to Glitter" and we will be doing "Genius Kits", so come prepared to be creative.

Just a reminder to come to Pack Meeting a little early so that everyone can get an "On time " ticket for the treat drawing, and your cub can pick up his beads for his Dingle Dangle.  Remember that once he has 18 beads he can turn them in to me for a neckerchief slide.  Theme beads (something that represents that months theme) do not count in the bead total.

Looking forward to seeing you there!

P.S.  I am getting ready to register boys for day camp.  I need to know which would be better, June or July?

August Calendar

Say good bye to the soggy month of July and hello to August!  We are so glad to have you and your son involved in Cub Scouting.
Welcome, welcome to our two new Wolf Den Leaders:  Krissy Shields and Wendy Knight.

Round Table for Adult Cub Scout Leaders. We learn good ways to help put on the Cub Scout Program for our boys, we expect the Adult Cub Scout leaders to attend.  Thursday, August 11th, 7:00 PM at the Central Stake Center.

Pack Meeting: Tuesday, Aug. 16th at 6:30 PM.  We will be having a family BBQ at the pavilion out behind the church.  Here are the food assignments:
      Each Wolf family bring a salad to share.
            Each Bear Family will bring a dessert to share.
            Each Webelos family will bring a bag of chips to share.

As you bring your contribution, be aware that this BBQ usually has 70+ people in attendance.

The Pack will provide:  Hot dogs, buns and condiments.  Our budget was cut drastically this year so we can't afford hamburgers.  I found some good quality, tasty, and not so expensive hot dogs and buns that fit in our new budget.  We are excited to let boys who need to "cook" something to pass a requirement, to be chiefs and cook the hot dogs on a grill, for the rest of us.  We will provide paper goods and water to drink.

Everyone had a great time at Cub Scout Day Camp.  We will look forward to that next summer.  If I go next year we will have pictures.

Have a great Month in Scouting!

May Pack Meeting

We held Pack Meeting, only no one held my camera and recorded the event with pictures.  We had one Cub earn his Wolf badge and several others earn belt loops.

We played games with jump ropes, orange slices, paper plates, yarn balls and shoes!  It was lots of fun!  Sorry about the lack of pictures.
