Pinewood Derby

Our pinewood derby will be Jan28th at the church at 6:30pm.  Everyone should have a kit.  The kit has a block of wood along with 4 tires and nails.  Turning this into a car is the job of the Scout and parent (mostly the Scout)!  There are a lot of ways to make the car.  The following link has some information.  Since this is the first time most of us have done this, we will probably be figuring things out as we go.  If there are any questions, let us know.

USS Hornet overnight stay

Hello everyone,
We are planning to spend the night on the USS Hornet, a retired aircraft carrier located in Alameda.  We are considering a few dates.  Because dates tend to fill up early, we are asking you to look at the dates listed on the spreadsheet you can get to by clicking on the link, and give us your input as soon as you can.  We'd like to finalize this by the den meeting Monday night. 

This link has a lot of the info.  http://www.uss-hornet.org/ 

Cost is $70 per person.  The Pack will subsidize an as yet to be determined amount for the Scouts.  One adult needs to go per child.  Siblings can attend as well, but we need to know that in advance because we will need to put down a deposit.

Please click on the link below and comment on the three dates listed.  We have to be there by 5pm.  March 8th is a Friday which would mean leaving by 3pm to ensure we can get there in time.  March 23rd is a Saturday, but it is also the first day of the Toro spring break (last day of school is March 22nd).

Hello everyone,

Our January meetings will be January 14th and 28th, both at the Church at 6:30.  The 14th will be a regular den meeting.  The 28th will be our pinewood derby.  Hopefully everyone got a kit and is working on their car.  If not, let Bryan Banks know as he has car kits.
