Hello everyone,
Our next meeting is this coming Monday night at the church.

Family Camp at Pico is coming up soon.  So far only five families have signed up.  I am sure there are many more out there that want to go.  Please sign up by this coming Monday night, the night of our next meeting, so that we can begin planning.

This event is always the highlight of the year so please sign up.  If there are any questions, let us know.

thank you

Wolf Den final achievements and Summer Day Camp

Hi Wolf Den Families,
We have two meetings left before we break for the summer. I would like to award the boys their Wolf patch and advance them into the Bear den at the last meeting on May 11th. Please plan to attend this meeting.

On Monday April 27th, we will be working on Achievements 11 and 12 "Duty to God" and "Making Choices". Please discuss with your child your family's religion or spiritual beliefs, so they can share with the other boys.

Also, I sent an email out with any missing requirements for each child. Please check if you have completed them and let me know.

Finally, anyone who would like their child to attend "Summer day camp" at Toro Regional Park June 22-26th, please let me know. I am setting up a parent schedule so we can share the childcare. If interested, email me or speak to me at the next meeting. I can only ensure we are grouped together, if I know who is attending. Thanks.

See you Monday!

Lucy.

Pinnacles Hike CANCELLED and Pico Blanco Family camp info

All,
The weather forecast for the Pinnacles calls for mid 80's.  So we are going to cancel our hike for Saturday and reschedule to a cooler time of the year.

Family Camp:

We have also added a page for the Family Camp over the Memorial Day Weekend at Boy Scout camp Pico Blanco. This family camp has always been one of the most popular events.  While it is still a month away, we need to commit soon in order to reserve our camp site.

If you want to go, please sign up asap.

The camp opens up Friday evening, and we can stay til Monday.  Families can come and go when they need to, though.  Many come Friday night, but several don't come til Saturday morning.  Most end up leaving Sunday afternoon, but several stay until Monday.

Cost is $45 per person, and includes food.  Kids under 5 are free,

In the past we have handled meals as a group.  The Pack purchases the main items for all meals and then we ask families to bring some of the side items needed.  We assign one or two families the responsibility of food prep and clean up, for each meal.

Participating in the group meal plan is not required.  If you would rather take care of your own meals and prep, just let us know.

thank you

Brunch Sunday morning after USS Hornet

After we leave the Hornet on Sunday morning, the Banks family is going to go to a Thai Buddhist temple in Berkeley for brunch.  We've been there twice, and I'd highly recommend it if you don't have other plans.  Bring cash, and plan on spending $10-12 or more per person.  Picky eaters may not have the best time, but our kids have managed pretty well with Pad Thai and some of their desserts.  It gets very crowded, but the food is good, as is the cultural experience.  It is a real working temple, so if you take off your shoes and go upstairs, sometimes they have monks chanting on a microphone while members hand them gifts of food.  Just seeing the huge gold Buddha is worthwhile.
