Memorial Day Family camp at Pico Blanco

All,

Thanks again to Brian Bloomer for the work he did with our trip to the USS Hornet.  I think the boys had a great time!

Our next Pack meeting is May 13th.  This is the last regular meeting for the school year.

Next up is the family camp weekend at Camp Pico Blanco, May 24th to 27th.  This will be our year end activity.  We are planning to attend this weekend as a Pack.  If you are interested in going, please click the spreadsheet link below and add your names. 

There is a cost of $25 per person ($30 after May 1st).  Kids 5 and under are free.

We will need to bring all camping equipment and food.  We can discuss a plan for this later, once we know how many are going.

USS Hornet update

Hello everyone,
I sent out an email with updated info for our USS Hornet sleepover on April 27th.  If you did not receive the email please let me know.

The bottom line is that we need to finalize our roster and collect all fees at our next meeting on Monday April 8th.  If you plan to attend the sleepover, please come to the Monday meeting prepared to pay the fees.

thank you
ST

Hello everyone,
Our USS Hornet overnight event is coming up soon.  We will have to make our final payment soon, probably early April.  To prepare, please visit the link below and indicate if you will be attending.  I have the categories broken down by male/female in case we need to take that into account for berthing arrangements.

Just to make sure we don't overlook anyone, if you do not plan to attend please select "No" in the attending column.

The cost is $70 per person.  For the boys, we will subsidize that amount. I'll confirm but I believe the amount for the boys will be $35.

We will have more info available soon.

thank you
ST

Toro Day camp

The Cub Scout Day camp at Toro this year will be June 17th - 21st.  I have provided a link on the Blog Calendar tab which will take you to the signup sheet.  You need to fill this form out and print it in order to register.  On Saturday March 16th there will be an initial group signup at the Salinas Scout office from 10AM to noon.  If your son is interested in participating in day camp this year it would be good to get our list together and participate in this initial sign up, as a Pack.  If you still aren't sure, that is ok, as we can continue to sign up later on, but there is a small discount for those we sign up on March 16th.  The initial price is $75.  After that it goes to $80 and if registered after May 15th it goes up to $110.

I'd  like to ask if there is a parent that is willing to coordinate this effort?  We need someone to track the kids that will be attending, and coordinate parent volunteers as well.  If so, please let me know soonest.  If you think your son does want to go, let me know that as well.  We will also need parent volunteers everyday so if you would like to help please let that be known.

Please click the link here and indicate if  your son will participate in day camp.  You still will need to fill out the form referenced above, which you can access on the Calendar page of our blog.

Camp Medical forms

Hello everyone,
The link below will take you to the Annual Health and Medical Record form.  This form is required for everyone participating in outdoor activities and is something we should have already done even for the day hikes we have completed.  Please take a look at the form and fill it out.

The form has four parts.  In most cases we only need to fill out Parts A and B, and these can be filled out by the parent.  Parts C and D are for longer term outings, and for 'high adventure' type activities.

For the Mom and me campout, the Family campout, and the Cub Scout Day camp, Parts A and B need to be filled out.  The forms remain with us and we keep them on file in case anything comes up. 

If you have any questions, please let us know.

4 March Den meeting

Just a reminder, we are meeting Monday 4 March at 6:30 at the church.

Day camp at Toro Park update

Hello everyone,

I just found out today that the dates for the day camp at Toro have been changed.  They are now June 17th - 21st. 

There will be an initial group sign up on March 16th.  We can sign up as a Pack on that date.  After that we can still add people if more boys decide to attend.  I'd like to find an adult that is willing to put together our roster for the day camp.  This includes coordinating adults to attend as well.  We must have one adult per four kids that attend, although after doing this last year it will go much more smoothly if we have more adults than that.

Please let me know if you want to coordinate this effort.

thank you
