Hello everyone,
Hope you are enjoying the holidays!
Our next regular meeting is scheduled for January 13th, the second Monday of the month, at 6:30pm.
We are looking at a possible archery event as well, and will provide details as soon as we can.
On January 27th we will have our Pinewood Derby. We had a great time last year and are looking forward to another successful event this time. The Pack is buying the basic car kit for the boys. We handed car kits out at our last meeting. If you were not there or did not get a kit, let us know. As we get closer to the event, we will publish the rules for how we will conduct the race.
Our first meeting in February will be on the 10th.
Our second meeting, February 24th, we are planning our annual Blue and Gold Dinner. This is a family event. We will have dinner, and a short program. More details will be coming out. Patty Bloomer was in charge of this event last year and has kindly agreed to coordinate it again this time, but she cannot do this on her own. We need additional parents willing to help out with this event.
Additional parent help is also a theme of this post. We have grown a lot and need more parents who are willing to help with various parts of the Pack.
One area we need help with is an Assistant Cubmaster. Bryan Banks is our Cubmaster, but he is not always available. Is there another parent willing to help out? There is training available. This is not something you have to do on your own.
I also serve as the Pack Treasurer. At the moment I am the only signer on our checking account. Is there another parent that might be willing to take over the role of Treasurer? There is not a lot of time required. It would also be good to have another person authorized to sign checks.
We are required to have copies of the Annual Health form on file for each participant. Right now we only have some. Is there a parent willing to spearhead this effort? I can provide more details.
The Cub Scout uniform is always appropriate at Scouting events, but there are times when the nice Blue shirt is not optimal. This could be events like hikes, camp outs, service projects, etc. There is a uniform called the Class B uniform which is basically a t-shirt with a Cub Scout design, and personalized to our Pack. There is a company that makes these. Is there a parent willing to take a look at the website, come up with a proposed design for the Pack to review, and be responsible for taking orders for the t-shirts? The website is http://www.classb.com/ Click on the Cub Scout link.
As we head further into the year, we will need parents to help plan and lead our meetings. We will help you, so don't feel like this is something you will have to figure out by yourself. I'll send out more info on additional opportunities for you to help as the need arises.
Finally, we often take pictures at our events, and would like to post them to this blog. We would not provide any names of any boys. Does anyone not want us to post pictures that include their boy? If so, please let me know.
Thank you
Steve Tackett
