Hello everyone -
We are looking forward to Pack Meeting this Thursday, November 14th at 6 p.m. We will meet in the cultural hall of the McDowell building. The core value of the month is Citizenship: Contributing service and showing responsibility to local, state, and national communities. Cub Scouts develop good citizenship when they are learning about respecting the flag and providing service to the community. Our scouts will share their experience canning food for local food shelters and we will have a special guest to help with our uniform inspection and flag ceremony. Having our Pack Meeting the week of Veteran's Day adds special meaning to the core scouting value of Citizenship. Be sure to look at the Webelos' den's Citizenship posters!
The featured belt loops this month are Citizenship and Basketball. Please click on the link below to access the worksheets for these belt loops. In order for these belt loops to be awarded in December, the worksheets need to be submitted to Sis. Truitt by the end of November.

Check the calendar on the right side of the blog for den meeting and Pack Meeting information. We are keeping this calendar as updated as possible, but if there is any question, please check with your scout's den leader.
Please plan now for December's Pack Meeting! Order of the Arrow will be coming to do advancement ceremonies for several of our scouts. It will be a great evening.

Cannery Service Project
We have got amazing cub scouts in our Pack! Last Thursday, during their October break from school, a group of our boys went with a couple of fabulous moms and a few amazing leaders to the cannery. They canned over 400 lbs. of food for local food banks. This food will feed over 2000 people. That is an accomplishment worth mentioning. The boys worked hard and provided a wonderful service for others. We are so proud of them and grateful for their willingness to give of their time to help other people.

Cannery - Service project this Thursday
This may be a double reminder for those of you who received Sister Lingard's email too, but during a school break it doesn't hurt to sometimes have an extra reminder about something on the calendar!
Please meet at the church on McDowell road this Thursday at 1:45 p.m. to carpool to the cannery for our pack service project. We need to do two service projects a year for the Scouting Journey to Excellence award, and this is one of them. It's also a great chance for your cub scout, and for older siblings in Young Women and Boy Scouts, to achieve some goals through providing service.
Cub Scouts do need to be in uniform. They are representing our Pack and our ward at this service project.
Other family members, age 5 and up, are also welcome to attend and help. We encourage the families to participate since this service project is functioning as our pack meeting for this month.
Thank you for all you do to support and be a part of our pack family!

Several items - September & October
We had a good kickoff meeting this past week. Thank you to those of you who were able to attend. My apologies for the late start - we do have the goal of starting on time, but some of the materials needed for an advancement ceremony were not there on time and so there was a delay.
We are so grateful for the help we received with taking down chairs and cleaning up at the end of the pack meeting! This followed right along with one of the main themes of our parent meeting. It was appropriate that the pack meeting theme this month is Cooperation, because that is what we are asking for more of in our pack family. We are all busy, and the committee needs help from our pack families in order to help the program run as well as possible. Please arrive a few minutes early to pack meeting and help us set up. We promise to do our best to start right on time. Please stay after for a few minutes to help us clean up and we can all get back home a little sooner.
We will be asking for more help with pack meeting treats and with some of our big events such as Scouting for Food, Pinewood Derby and Blue & Gold Banquet. Please watch for assignments in the coming weeks.
We will be having advancement ceremonies quarterly instead of monthly. This helps us be able to plan more fully in advance and put more time and effort into making it a memorable experience for your scout. Please try to let us know by the prior month's pack meeting if your scout will be eligible for advancement or other awards. That being said, belt loops are a quick, easy award that can be presented at any pack meeting.
Our October Pack Meeting happens on the 10th, during Fall Break, but for those of you who will be in town there will be a service project at the Cannery. Families are invited to this as well. Details will be sent out as soon as possible. The core value of October is Responsibility.
Our November 14th pack meeting will center on the core value of Citizenship, with special attention paid to Veterans' Day.
Our next Awards Ceremonies Pack Meeting will be on December 12th. The core value of the month is Respect.
One event we need some volunteers for right now is Round Table on Thursday, October 3rd, at the LDS Stake Center on Brown Road just past Mountain View High School. Our pack is doing the flag ceremony and opening prayer at this leader training meeting. It's a great opportunity for our boys to show what they know about conducting a proper flag ceremony. Your den leaders will be asking for volunteers in den meeting this next week. We need to be there at 6:45 p.m. and the boys should be done around 7:15 p.m. If your scout needs to participate in a flag ceremony for one of his achievements, please be sure to let us know!
To the right on the blog page is a link for the Belt Loops requirements and worksheets. A worksheet needs to be submitted to the Cub Master before a belt loop will be awarded. The featured September belt loops are Weather and Soccer.
The featured belt loops in October are Computers and Golf. You can earn any belt loop or pin any time - we just feature a couple every month to help you notice what is available.
We are looking forward to a great year! We have wonderful Cub Scouts and we are grateful for them and for their families. Scouting is an amazing program. Thank you for choosing to be part of it!
