November 2004 Newsletter
We have had a very busy month!!
Last month was just jam packed with events. Many of the Cub Scouts camped and attended the Boshear’s Skyfeast. We had 2 great days of weather and saw a fantastic air show.
Our Rain Gutter Regatta was a lot of fun. This was a new event for our pack and a BIG THANKS goes out to Michele and Ray Marks who coordinated the event. Michele and Ray donated the gutters to the pack so we are ready for future Regattas. The gutters got a 2nd use at the St Mary’s School Carnival as the Cub Scout Booth.
The Spook-O-Ree had over 57 Pack 8 Cubs and family members attend. The days were packed full of Scouting activities and the nights were packed full of Halloween activities. A special THANKS to Dawn Cornwell, who was our camp coordinator.
The Popcorn Distribution went smoothly and the Rocket derby proved to be very well liked by the Cub Scouts. Kevin Huffman has done a great job as our Pack Kernel. The organization he setup with the Den Kernels has pulled this activity off without a hitch. You should have turned in your popcorn money to your Den Kernel by now, but just in case you have not yet turned in all of your money, you can bring it to the Pack meeting tomorrow.
Pictures of most of the events are on our web site at http://pack8.com/picts.htm . If anyone has pictures of the Rocket Derby and are willing to have them posted email them to me.
Our November Pack meeting is at Holy Trinity Church (downtown). The meeting is Monday November 15 at 7:00 PM. We had to move locations because all of the meeting locations at St Mary’s were taken. Holy Trinity has reserved St. Frances Hall for our November pack meeting. If you're facing the front of the church, St. Francis Hall is in the building to the left of the church. You walk into the hall when you enter the double doors to the building. There is a sidewalk that connects the front entrance of the church to the hall. If you go to the front of the church, some signs will be posted to tell people where to go. At our pack meeting we will hold our advancement ceremony, have a Leave No Trace presentation by the Bears, and we will make our Christmas crafts to be distributed as we carol in December. We need people to bring large pine cones, crayons/colored pencils/markers, and Christmas wrapping paper for the craft.
Tuesday, December 14 at 6:30 PM we will sing Christmas Carols to the residents at Sunrise Assisted Living on Boy Scout Rd. After we complete the caroling we will return to St. Mary’s School Cafeteria for our Christmas party. Allison Crow is coordinating our Christmas caroling and party and has asked the Dens to bring the following to our party in the SMS Cafeteria:
Webelos – drinks
Bears – Sweets
Wolves – Salty Snacks
Tigers – plates / cups / napkins / ice
Yours in Scouting,
Paul
