American Legion Service Project

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.

If you have not yet re-registered your scout for the upcoming year, you need to do so soon. Our registration deadline is November 1st. If you are not re-registered by this date, your scout will be dropped from our rolls and will need to pay a more expensive registration if you choose to join again.

The registration fee this year is $35.00 each for both Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts.

Please attend your next Pack, Den or Troop meeting to complete your registration. Be sure to bring your checkbook unless you wish to use your existing Scout Bucks.

If you cannot attend a Pack, Den or Troop meeting before the end of October, please mail or deliver your fee, BEFORE NOVEMBER 1, to:

Mary Rittel
Treasurer, Pack/Troop 167
611 N. Harrison Street
Stuart, IA 50250


If you have any questions or if your scout is not planning to return this year, then please contact Mary.

Thank you. We look forward to seeing you and your scout at our events.

Parent-Leader Planning Meeting

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
