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.

November - Pack Meeting and featured monthly belt loops
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.
