Mistletoe Fundraiser 2022

UPDATE: Thanks everyone for the tremendous effort on Mistletoe sales!!!  Our Pack made $1,242 in profit.  We appreciate all the help on this fundraiser!  Next up is our Pinewood Derby on 1/21/23.  Can't wait to see you there.  Have a wonderful 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 we plan throughout the year.

Mistletoe bundling will take place at the Church Parish Hall on Sunday, 12/4 from 4-7 and Monday, 12/5 from 6-8.  Please plan to attend one or both nights.  Also, if you have extra refrigerator space let us know.  We’ll need to store the mistletoe so it is fresh to sell. 

 

We are all set for our Mistletoe sales on Saturday, 12/10, Sunday, 12/11, Saturday, 12/17 and Sunday, 12/18.  We’ll be at Star Market & the Del Monte Mall both days from 12:00 – 4:00.  This has proven to be a great way to raise funds to support pack activities and help reduce the cost of events such as camping outings or sleepovers.  However, we can only be successful if everyone helps out.  

 

Please go to the attendance sheet and sign up for a shift (or several!) if you have not already done so.  Each hour will need a Lead (see bullet below), please put “Yes” in the Lead column if you are willing to help out here and there is no Lead already identified.  Your contact # would be great too, so we can coordinate details. Attendance sheet

The Santa Lucia Chapel and Campground is located 26 miles south of Carmel on Highway 1 — approximately one-quarter mile south of the River Inn on the west side of the highway.

There are NO showers at the campsite and NO hot water, but they do have restrooms and cold running water.  Based on new regulations, we need to separate out our trash - recycling (clean cardboard, clean bottles, cans, etc.); green waste, food scraps and leftovers (no raw meat), all other trash.  We need to ensure we abide by this and leave the campsites clean so we can get our deposit back.  Check-in is from 2:00pm – 6:00pm on Friday and check-out on Sunday is no later than 11:00am.

 

We have both big campsites and they are adjacent to the river.  Each site also has its own fire ring.  We’ll be preparing meals as a group, with the exception of Friday.  Please have a plan for your Friday dinner.

 

We’ll have a group hike organized for Saturday, but there is no obligation to join if you’d prefer to just relax.  Evenings will be spent around the campfire, plan on singing songs and performing skits with your den on Saturday night.

Each den will be responsible for the prep, cooking and clean up of one meal.  Wolves will be Saturday breakfast, Bears Saturday lunch, Webelos Saturday dinner and Lions/Tigers Sunday breakfast.  Here are the menus, if you have any special dietary needs please contact your den leader.  If you want beverages beyond what is listed, please bring (no alcohol).  The campsites have tap water.  Also, please bring any additional snacks you may want.

Carmel Beach Sandcastle Competition, Saturday, 9/17

UPDATE: Our sandcastle design has been finalized.  We'll be making a sea turtle and putting "Pack 93" on it's shell.  It will be similar to the below YouTube video, but on a bigger scale. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_p7VnlcKPk. 

Don't forget to bring large spades, buckets, rakes and any sand sculpting tools. Kids will get wet, so swim clothes, sunscreen, hats etc. Bring lunch, water and snacks.  Spray bottles to keep the sand wet would be helpful too.

We'll have our Pack flag out on the beach so you can easily find us, but if you get lost contact Sara Madson at 818-261-8734.

Get your shovels ready Pack 93!

We will be participating in the Carmel Beach Sandcastle competition on Saturday, 9/17. We will meet at Carmel Beach at 10th and Scenic Rd. Our Pack 93 Flag will be out so you can easily identify us. Park anywhere you can along Scenic, the closer the better.

https://ci.carmel.ca.us/post/time-travel-carmel-beachs-past.  

We will begin at 8am, so early birds come on out and start digging! The more the merrier, so come when you can. Judging will begin at noon, with awards at 2pm.

Please bring large spades, buckets, rakes and any sand sculpting tools. Kids will get wet, so swim clothes, sunscreen, hats and shade if you have it. Bring lunch, water and snacks.  If anyone has an awning for shade during breaks please let your den leader know.

Postponed – Pinewood Derby and Blue & Gold Dinner

 

Pack 93,

The committee has made the decision to postpone both the Pinewood Derby and Blue & Gold dinner due to COVID quarantines and concerns with exposure.

 

Our scouts (and parents too) have put a lot of effort into building their cars and we want to be sure that everyone has a chance to participate in the fun of the derby.  It is one of the highlights of our year and we want to be able to enjoy it together!

 

The Blue & Gold dinner is traditionally held inside the Parish Hall and we didn’t want to take any chances while COVID case rates remain high.  

 

Please still hold the date of 2/12 on your calendar, as we are hoping to have a hike set up instead.  More to come soon….

 

We are working on alternative dates for the Pinewood Derby and Blue & Gold dinner and will be sure to communicate those as soon as we have them.

 

Thank you!

                                                           

                                  REMINDERS

Hopefully all the scouts received a Pinewood Derby car kit at our last meeting in December.  If your scout hasn't received a car yet, please contact your Den Leader.  

Lots of info on the Pinewood Derby can be found on the blog at http://pack93toro.blogspot.com/p/pinewood-derby.html.  A lot of the information is generic but will give a good idea of how the derby will work. 

We will have scales to weigh cars to make sure they meet the maximum weight limit of 5 ounces.  We will also have some repair items in case a car loses a wheel/axel, etc.  If you have questions about any aspects of the Pinewood Derby, please feel free to ask your Den leader.

 

Lastly, our meeting on Monday, 1/24 will be a Pinewood Derby prep meeting.  We’ll have scales, tools and parents with Derby experience so we can all collaborate and ensure we are ready for the big day!
