January and February

Hello everyone.
Our next meeting is Monday January 12th. 

Our second meeting of the month is January 26th and this is our annual Pinewood Derby race.  We bought car kits for the boys.  If your son did not get one yet, we will have them at the meeting on Monday.  We are planning to meet on Jan 26th at 6pm, since the racing can take a bit of time to complete.

We are tentatively planning a 'car building' party on Monday January 19th.  We will have the tools and supplies needed to make your car.  More details to follow.

Our first meeting in February will be Feb 9th.

Our second meeting will be Feb 23rd.  This will be our annual Blue and Gold Dinner.  For those unfamiliar, this is the anniversary month of the founding of Cub Scouts, so it is traditional to celebrate.  We are planning a pot luck dinner with the whole family invited.  More details to follow on this as well.

We are forming our plan for the USS Hornet overnight trip.  Please go to the Attendance spreadsheet and sign up.  The cost will be about $70 per person.  We will offset this for the Cub Scouts.  The exact amount has not been determined, but expect a subsidy of $20 to $30 for each Scout.  Everyone is invited, but siblings and adults will have to pay full price.

see you Monday!

Archery update

Hello everyone,

Based on the number of Scouts that have signed up, we should be able to accommodate the siblings that have asked to attend.

Event is at Jim Cox Archery 28 Quail Run Circle Suite D in Salinas.

Please go to the blog and go to the post made last year, January 8th 2014, for a picture map of the location.

See you there,

Archery Jan 3rd

Hello everyone,
Hope you are having a nice break!

We are planning an archery event at the indoor range in Salinas off Davis Road.  We have done this the past couple years and the boys have loved it.  The owner lets us in before the shop normally opens so we have the place to ourselves.

The event runs from 8:30 to 10:00.  About 5 boys can shoot at a time.  We usually take signups for the first 10 boys.  If we get a lot of demand we will have to possibly stagger the times, or see about adding a second date. 

Cost for the event is $10, but the Pack will pay half, so each boy needs to only pay $5.  The owner has asked for a minimum age of 8, so the Tiger Cubs won't be able to participate this year.  He has made this requirement each year that we have gone.

Depending on interest, in the past we have allowed siblings to participate, but this depends on the number of Scouts that sign up.

I have added a signup page to the Attendance roster.  If you would like to participate, please sign up as soon as you can so we can get a good count.

Have a great weekend!
Steve

Webelos activity for Dec 8th meeting

For the Webelos Families, have the boys continue to practice the Boy Scout requirements that go with the Webelos badge.  We will also finish work on the Athlete activity badge.  At our meeting in October the boys did sit-ups, push-ups, etc.  We will do those again and see if there is any improvement.

See everyone tomorrow night.

Next meeting and Harlem Globetrotters

Hello everyone,
Our next  meeting is this coming Monday, Dec 8th, at 6:30 at the Church.  (I understand the Tigers may want to meet earlier.  Paul will let you know).

Saturday at 2 is the Ariel Charlie Brown show.  If you signed up for us to buy the tickets, we did so.  The Pack paid so if you can bring money or write a check (to Pack 93) on Saturday that would be great!  Lucy has the tickets, so meet her 20 minutes before show time to get your ticket.  A patch is available as well.  If you want that, bring an extra $2.

The World Famous Harlem Globetrotters are coming to Hartnell College on January 8th, Thursday, at 7pm.  They are offering discounted tickets.

If you would like to go, please click the link for information.  For this event please buy tickets on your own.
