Class B t-shirts and other news

Hello everyone,
We had a great time camping at Pico!  Mark Labor Day weekend on your calendar.  There is another family camp at Pico that weekend.  The waterfront should be open then, so we can add canoes to the list of things to do.

The Class B uniforms came in and were modeled at Pico.  We want these to be the uniform for the boys when we go on hikes, etc.  We are going to place another order.  I have added a page to our attendance spreadsheet for you to sign up, so please do so.  I'd like to put another order in about a week from now.  If you aren't sure what size, we ordered a sample kit that has one of each size. 

Our main activities for the school year are done.  We are planning an activity or two during the summer.  The Toro Day camp is June 23-27th.  If you are interested sign up asap.

We are looking to have a beach party at some point with a ceremony for our Tiger cubs as they receive their Tiger badge.  Date TBD.

July we are planning a hike to Elkhorn Slough.

August is still TBD.

We will resume regular meetings in September.

So, sign up for T-shirts!

Family Camp, Laguna Seca bike ride, Oakland A's Scout Day

Hello everyone,

Family Camp

Cost is $30 per person ages 6 and older.  The Pack has paid the fee, so please bring a check made out to Pack 93 at our next meeting to reimburse us.

Laguna Seca Bike outing

We are planning on participating in the bike riding event at Laguna Seca next week, on Wednesday May 14th.  Cost is $10 per person.  Thanks to Hilda for organizing! The event begins at 5:30 and goes to 7:30. 

Basic info is as follows:

http://www.mazdaraceway.com/twilight-cycling

Once you've committed to the track though, you can't turn back.....so everyone needs to understand that. It's 2.238 miles and you can go around as many times as you want during the 2 hours. There is a "paddock and pit" area to ride around in for those who don't want to ride the track.  Kids as young as  kindergartner make the hill at the track. There are also a lot of people who can't and simply push the bike up. All kids need to be with their parent/guardian or have a waiver form signed by the parent/guardian.

If you want to go, please add your name to the blog attendance spreadsheet.  I added a page for this.  By the way, page tabs are at the bottom of the spreadsheet.

A's game
The Scout day game is June 1st.  If you want to sit as a group, please sign up and bring your money to our next meeting on May 12th!  Jesse Gallardo will buy tickets for us, but he must have money in hand to do so.

Cost is $36 per ticket.  See link for more info:
