October Pack Meeting - Oct 21st

2009-10-01T05:32:00.000-07:00

Hello, Cub Scout Families!

Our October Pack Meeting will be a little different than most. But, it will also be fun and interesting.

We will be meeting at the lower campgrounds at Nations Bridge Park (about 5 miles north of Stuart) at about 6:45 pm on Wednesday, October 21st. Look for familiar faces and the Pack's flag.

We will then take part in the annual Guthrie County Conservation Halloween Hike which begins at 7:00 pm.

If you have not taken the Halloween Hike before, you are in for a treat. Don't think scary haunted house sort of stuff, this isn't like that. Typically, they have several stations set up where you can learn different things about wildlife, conservation, history, blacksmithing, etc.

Bring a flashlight and dress appropriate for the weather. This is an outdoor event and it will get dark.

Also, if you happen to have a sack of soda cans you'd like to get rid of, bring them along - they are collecting cans for the Prairie Woodland Conservation Fund.

See you there!

CRAZY FROG - POPCORN

American Legion Service Project

2008-10-27T17:00:00.000-07:00

At our last committee meeting we talked about painting the parking poles that are at the Stuart Rec Center. Pat Doud, contacted John Gulbranson and told him they had gotten the poles fixed and back in place and they are now ready to be painted.

They will provide the paint and equipment to paint them if we could provide some Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts to do the painting.

The American Legion Post provides the Rec Center as a meeting place for scouts at no charge. It would be great if we could see as many of our scouting families as possible come out to help with this project. If we get enough scouts there, this project should not take very long and it will be a big benefit to the Legion.

Let's meet at 9:00 AM on Saturday, November 1st at the Rec Center. This weekend will probably be the last chance we have to get this done. It will soon be too cold to paint anything outdoors and the weather forecast looks good for Saturday. Be sure to wear clothes that won't matter if you get paint on them.

Looking forward to seeing you all there.

Parent-Leader Planning Meeting

2008-08-17T08:39:00.000-07:00

Our Cubmaster sent the following e-mail concerning our first planning meeting of the new season:

Hello folks, its time for school to start for another year. We are going to have a planning night on Monday August 18th at 6pm at the Rec center. If the Rec center is being used we will move to scout hall at City hall. we will be going through the calender for pack meetings, setting up back to school night and discussing needs of the Den leaders. We will address any training that den leaders need and any Dens that need leaders as well. All leaders and or parents are welcome to attend, so if you see a Cubscout parent, invite them to come along. We should be ok with the school open house as it is on Tuesday. If there are any questions email me or call me on my cell and I look forward to seeing hopefully as many of you as possible. Thanks. John.

If you did not receive the e-mail, we may not have your correct e-mail address on file. Please contact John, Dan, or Mary to update your e-mail address. Thank you.

Welcome to the Blog!

Some of you coming to the website will notice something different. The main page is now a blog. I thought this would make it easier to keep updated and allow for better archiving of what is going on.

Some things are still the same. Our den pages are still up and hosted at the old site. You can see them by clicking on the rank badges to the side. I hope to get those updated once we get started again and our great den leaders start sending me new information.

I hope you like the change. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to comment here (you can do that now that its a blog), send me an e-mail, or give me a call.

I look forward to seeing you all again real soon as we get set for another year of Cub Scouting!

Dan
