Pack 93 MIstletoe Sales on Saturday, December 14th and Meeting Monday, December 16th

Hi All,

We have one last opportunity to raise funds to support activities for our Cub Scouts this Saturday, December 14th at Del Monte Mall.  If your scout hasn't had a chance to sell mistletoe, please join us between 10:00 am and 2:00 pm in front of Macy's as detailed in the last blog posting.  At this point we have only two families signed up for Saturday, so we could really use additional help.  This is a great opportunity for the boys to learn sales skills. We've done very well so far and would like to close out our mistletoe sales with a bang (or a jingle... 😊 ).

Our second meeting in December will be this Monday, December 16th at our normal time of 6:00 pm at Church of the Good Shepherd.  This will be a fun evening of skits and treats, so don't miss it!

Hope to see you all Saturday and Monday!

Just in Time for the Holidays--Mistletoe Sales!

Seasons Greetings Pack 93 Families!

Thanks to everyone who helped out with packaging mistletoe at our meeting last Monday.  We had a great turnout and packaged over 250 bags for sales starting this weekend.  Hopefully we'll have good weather and lots of holiday shoppers at Del Monte Mall and Star Market over the next two weekends.

Thanks also to those who have already signed up for time slots to sell mistletoe.  As a reminder, we plan to sell the packaged mistletoe at Del Monte Center and Star Market at the following dates/times:

Pack 93 Meeting Schedule and Mistletoe Fundraiser

Hi Pack 93 Families,

Because the 4th Monday of November (the 25th) is during the week of Thanksgiving break, we will not be having our regular Pack 93 meeting that night.  We hope everyone enjoys a great Thanksgiving with family and friends!   

Due to the holiday schedule and timing for our mistletoe fundraiser, our meetings in December will be on Monday, December 2nd and Monday, December 16th, both at 6:00 pm. 

Now that we're entering the holiday season, It's time to kick off our big (and only...) fundraising event for the year--mistletoe sales!  This has proven to be a great way to raise funds to support pack activities and help reduce the cost of events such as the upcoming USS Hornet sleepover.  However, we can only be successful if everyone helps out.  

We will get started with a mistletoe packaging session at our meeting on Monday evening, December 2nd, at 6:00 pm.  The more boys (and parents!) that show up to help, the more mistletoe we will have packaged and ready to sell the following weekend.  We will also spend a little time teaching salesmanship to the boys.

Sales Dates/Times:

We plan to sell the packaged mistletoe at Del Monte Center and Star Market at the following dates/times: 

• Del Monte Center: Saturday, Dec 7th and 14th (10:00 - 2:00 pm)
• Star Market: Sunday, Dec 8th (11:00 - 1:00 pm)

Please sign up on the attendance spreadsheet at:  http://pack93toro.blogspot.com/p/attendance-spreadsheet.html for one or more blocks of time (1 hour minimum for Tigers, 2 hour blocks for other ranks). 

We'll provide more details regarding the actual mistletoe sales in the next week or so. 

Thanks!!

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to text me at 831-236-7607.

Garland Ranch Hike this Saturday, October 19th at 10:00 am

We are hiking at Garland Ranch Regional Park in Carmel Valley this Saturday October 19th at 10:00 am.

This is part of the Monterey Bay Trekker patch series ( http://svmbc.org/svmbc/activities/cub-scout-year-round-activities/monterey-bay-trekkers/ ).

We will meet in the parking lot at Garland Ranch at 10:00am, then walk to the Ranger Station to visit restrooms before the hike. The hike is around 2.5 miles and takes the Waterfall Trail to the Mesa pond, then loops back down again. It is listed as "easy to moderate". There are some steps and a steep climb for a short part of the trail. It is appropriate for Tigers, but if you are bringing younger children, you might consider taking a shorter loop around the park. 

Please dress in layers since it may be cool at the start, but will warm up once we start hiking. Bring water, sunscreen and hats for the hike. If you want to picnic at the end of the hike, you can pack a light lunch or snacks.

Garland Ranch Regional Park is located at 700 W Carmel Valley Rd, Carmel Valley, CA 93924.  More info on the park, including directions can be found at https://www.mprpd.org/garland-ranch-regional-park .

 

So we know who will be joining us, please sign up on the attendance spreadsheet on the blog at: http://pack93toro.blogspot.com/p/attendance-spreadsheet.html .

 

We hope to see you all this Saturday!

Pack 93 Summer Hike at Wilder Ranch--Saturday, July 20th

Could it really be July already?  How could summer be going by so fast?

Before summer completely slips by, we thought it would be fun to get our scouts and families together for a hike at beautiful Wilder Ranch State Park, just north of Santa Cruz. Wilder Ranch is one of the hikes in the Monterey Bay Trekkers series, so scouts who participate will earn the patch for this hike. 

The trek begins at the historic ranch house and dairy, then follows the coast for a two mile easy hike. Part of the trail follows high cliffs, so parents must walk with their children. A public tour of the farm house and some of the ranch buildings and facilities, which date back to the late 1800's is available at 1:00 pm, so that is an option for those who want to take advantage of the opportunity.  We will plan to meet at 10:30 in the parking lot at the visitors center to allow enough time for the hike and a break for lunch before the tour.

More info regarding the park can be found at:  http://www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=549

Please be aware there is a $10 per car entry fee to the state park so some of you may want to carpool.  We also recommend you all bring lunch since we will be there from 10:30 am to about 2:30 pm (if you choose to go on the tour).  We'll take a break to have lunch after the hike and before the tour. 

Please sign up on the attendance spreadsheet for the hike if you plan to participate so we know how many hikers to expect.  For those who will participate, be sure to bring water, sunscreen and a lunch/snacks.

We look forward to seeing many of you on Saturday, July 20th at 10:30 am in the parking lot at the visitors center in the park.  The location can be found at:

https://www.google.com/maps/dir//36.96024,-122.083/@36.9602337,-122.1535037,12z

We saved the best for last! Memorial Weekend Family Camp

Calling all campers!

Memorial Weekend Family camp is finally here! This year we will be camping in Pinnacles National Monument and will be exploring the trails and caves on the East Pinnacles side. Please note: you cannot access this through King City, you have to go around the Hollister side.

We will be arriving Friday afternoon and staying until Sunday morning.

Food: We provide all the food and cook as a team. Each family is assigned to help prepare one meal. You will be paired with someone who has done this before :)

Cost: $20 per Scout and $30 for everyone else (5 yrs and under free). Includes camping and food, regardless of when you arrive. (Yes, that's a great deal!). So the longer you stay, the better deal you get. Additional cost: The park entrance fee is $30 per car. (We are charging less this year to reflect our mistletoe sales and we want to off-set the entrance fee).

Who can come: Your whole family is welcome.  Once we have our pack families signed up,  we can offer additional spots to friends if we have room. We have a limited number of spaces, so please sign up asap if you want a spot.

Freemont Peak Hike Sat April 27th 4pm

Hi All,

The Pack 93 hike at Fremont Peak will be next Saturday afternoon, April 27th.  This will be a late afternoon hike so those who are interested can participate in the Fremont Peak Observatory open house, which will occur in the afternoon and evening.  The hike is only about a mile and will take no longer than one hour, including stops for enjoying the fantastic views from 3,169 foot Fremont Peak.  We will meet at 4pm, to catch the daytime viewing, and still provide enough time to complete the hike before sunset. Note: Park fee: $6 per car, bring warm jacket for night viewing!

Meet 4pm
Daytime viewing 4-5pm
Pack hike 5-6pm
Hot dogs 6-7pm
Night time viewing 8pm

Participation in the observatory open house sessions can be on your own or with pack, but we are timing this hike so you and your scouts can take advantage of the opportunity if desired.  The solar observatory viewing will occur from 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm and the evening program for observing the night sky starts at 8:00 pm and goes to at least midnight.  Those who have participated in the observatory sessions in the past have commented that being able to observe the sun safely through the solar telescope is very cool, and observing the night sky through the 30" telescope is also neat.  However, trying to do both with the younger boys might be a challenge and participation in either activity is completely up to individual families.

For those who are interested in staying after the hike, we encourage you to bring something to eat for dinner. We will provide hot dogs.  We can gather in the picnic area and enjoy dinner as the sun sets.  Of course, everyone is welcome to do this whether you stay for the evening observatory program or not.

Directions and additional information are provided below.  If you plan on participating, please sign up on the attendance sheet on the blog so we have an idea of how many will attend.  If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me at lucychesshire@hotmail.com

Thanks, Lucy
