Scout-O-Rama information

Here is the link for the website giving more information about Scout-O-Rama on Saturday, February 22nd.  I realize that the mentions we've given to SOR at other meetings has not included all of the details such as times and maps.  Please let us know if your family and your scout would like to carpool, or if you will be driving yourselves out there.  We will be setting up an assignment schedule for scouts to help at the booth being sponsored by our Stake.  Our ward's service time is from 1-2 p.m.

We had a great Pinewood Derby race this morning!  There were creative cars and great sportsmanship.  Thank you to all of you who were able to come, and thank you to Sis. Johnson for these pictures of our wonderful Cub Scouts!

January reminders

Pinewood Derby is coming up quickly - Saturday, January 11th, 9:00 a.m.  We will meet in the Relief Society room of the McDowell building.  This will be our Pack Meeting for the month. 

Weigh-in for your Pinewood Derby car will be Friday the 10th, anytime between 6 and 7 p.m. at the Truitt home (8728 E. Hannibal Street).  Please refer to an earlier email for the rules governing size, weight, and design of your car.  Bro. Truitt will be inspecting the cars!

Registration for Day Camp in March closes at the end of January!  This camp takes place during 4 days over Spring Break, but you have the option of attending all four days, or just 1, 2, or 3.  The choice is completely up to you!  Be sure to use the link in a previous email sent to you and check out the information on the program for this day camp.  It's a new program called STEM and each day will cover one of four areas:  Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics.  Then let Sis. Truitt know which day(s) your scout would like to attend.   She will register your scout so that he's assigned to our group, and you will pay her directly. 

On a different topic, we are considering a "Class B" uniform option for our Pack.  This would basically be a T-shirt identifying our pack, but is less formal than the full traditional uniform and could be worn to more active, less formal activities such as Pinewood Derby and some of the more active den and pack meetings.  This would need to be purchased by the family, however, and would be an "all or nothing" kind of deal.  Please visit the blog to complete the poll on the right side of the page and let us know your succinct opinion on this matter.

As always, the blog also provides the calendar showing den meetings, pack meetings, and other events.  You can sign up with your email at the top of the page to automatically receive email notifications of new postings to the blog.
