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.

December - Pack Meeting and Belt Loops
Hello, Pack 377 families! Can you believe December is upon us already? We hope you are planning on joining us outside at the church for a special pack meeting. We have several boys receiving advancement awards and Order of the Arrow coming to do special presentations for those awards. They really help teach the boys about some of the meaning of the Scouting program and it will be a great evening! Join us at 6 p.m. on Thursday, December 12th. Please be sure your scouts are in full uniform for this special awards ceremony.
Also, please be aware of the featured belt loops for December:
Good Manners: Cub Scouts will learn to be polite and respectful, write a thank-you note to someone who has given them something or done something nice for them, and know how to introduce two people correctly and politely.
Ice Skating: Ice Skating is a great winter activity for Cub Scouts (believe it or not, there are a few places for ice skating here in the valley). As they learn to ice skate, they can apply their skills to earn the Ice Skating belt loop and pin.
These are not the only belt loops and pins available, and this is not the only month these two belt loops can be earned. Please see the link on the right side of the blog for Belt Loops and Pins Worksheets to see the full list of sports and academics belt loops the scouts are able to earn. This is a great way for them to regularly earn recognition for things they are already doing, or for something new they have learned. If they've already earned a particular belt loop, look at the further requirements for earning the pin. The sports and academic pins should not be worn on the uniform, but there are many other ways those can be displayed to demonstrate the Cub Scouts' accomplishments!
Thank you to those of you who were able to join us at November's pack meeting. It was a fun evening! To those of who were unable to make it, please know that you were missed and that we hope to see you in December.
