1/9/23 Pack Meeting cancelled

 Hi everyone,

Due to the storm there is flooding on Corral de Tierra road at the 4 way stop.  We are not sure if or how much it will rise this evening.  Since we will be navigating to and from the church in the dark we feel that it is best to cancel the meeting tonight.

We are checking with the Church to see if the Parish Hall is available to reschedule for Monday, 1/16 so we can have our Pinewood Derby prep meeting.  More to come once we hear back.

Thank you and stay safe and dry!

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, we’ll have kits at the 1/9 meeting or 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, 1/9 will be a Pinewood Derby prep meeting.  We’ll have car kits, scales, tools and parents with Derby experience so we can all collaborate and ensure we are ready for the big day!
