Christmas

Hello....It has been a crazy couple of weeks!
Thanks to those who paticipated in the Christmas in the Pass Parade.
My daughter has been in New Orleans almost everyday getting ready for her ballet (hence so were we).
I would like to schedule a time for us to get together to have a little Christmas fun. Connor is at Zoo Camp the 21st.....so I was thinking either the 22nd or the 23rd..... Please let me know if you will be in town. I thought I would have everyone at the house for Pizza, fun and a small cake for Connor's 8th birthday. Let me know if you are free one of these days or we can do it after Christmas.

Parade...Okay Evelina called me to give me the parade info!

The parade will begin at the gazebo in War Memorial Park at 5pm. Please ask your son to wear his uniform (at least shirt). Also if you still have raffle tickets please give them to John Dufrene.

The next few Saturdays are absolutely jam packed with events however I am trying to do a Christmas get together ( & also it is Connor's birthday) so I will blog about this later after Christmas in the Pass wraps up. If you have any questions about the parade call me on my cell 342-2366. I am working all Friday Downtown helping with the setup.

COngratulations Jackson for earning his Bobcat! John will collect dues at the pack meeting....

Continue on the last 2 achievements and ask them to reread the bobcat requirements for review.

No meeting Saturday, the library is closed!

Please work through achievement 6 & 7. I am waiting on the time for the parade on Friday. Please wear your uniform..... I will blog as soon as I know the time to be at the Gazebo....Cheers!

Great field trip. For those that missed it, please check out IMMS it was great!

NO MEETING SATURDAY THE 28th...LIBRARY IS CLOSED FOR THE HOLIDAYS!!!!

Christmas in the Pass walking parade

The organizers of Christmas in the Pass have requested the scouts to parade along with Santa... I am sure we will discuss it tonight at the Pack meeting. Christmas in the Pass is a great community event and we thank Evelina for inviting us! It is the First Friday in December.

From Cub Master, John Dufrene

It is time to renew our dues for 2010 and I need to collect $10.00 per child for the next year. This is only for your child that was a scout for all of 2009. If you have a child that registered as a new scout in September of 2009 then they are paid until 2010. This is only for the Child that was a scout last year. Please bring me your $10.00 at the Pack meeting this Thursday. Thanks, John.

If you haven't paid at all as well the dues will be collected too.

See you at the Pack meeting!

Popcorn

Popcorn...okay so fundraising to me is a huge pain so I am sure you feel the same way! I myself am continually begging for the library, the park, the City and now the Scouts.

I know we need the funds so I will buck up and try to sell the stuff........ I have forms for you all.

Like we say" Do you best". I will continue to try and find sponsors to help us do our projects so that we can defray some of our expenses.

Camping....

The cub scouts are going camping in November at Camp Tiak. We have been asked to participate. I was hoping we could do a practice run on our farm on Clarence Avenue. Send me your thoughts?

John and I have tents...we could do a bonfire and cook out and learn about camping before we head to Camp Tiak.... Cheers, Renee

   2. Commit: Discuss these questions with your family. Why is a promise important? Why is it important for people to trust you when you give your word? When might it be difficult to keep your word? List examples.
   3. Practice: Discuss with family members why it is important to be trustworthy and honest and how can you do your best to be honest when you are doing the activities in Cub Scouting.

   "I .....(name).... promise to do my best
   To do my duty to God and my country,
   To help other people, and
   To obey the Law of the Pack. "

2. Say the LAW OF THE PACK. Tell what it means.

   "The Cub Scout follows Akela.

   The pack helps the Cub Scout Grow.
   The Cub Scout gives goodwill."
