Hello again Friends,

Den meetings will be downstairs tonight starting at 7pm.  Tigers will be offsite at the Winston Salem Police Station and 911 Call Center.  Tiger parents, please refer to the email that was sent yesterday for details.  Webelos II parents, representatives of the Boy Scout troop will be in your meeting tonight to complete paperwork for the transition.  (for those of you who have been with the pack for a few years, you will recognize some faces.)

Thank you to all who participated in the Pinewood Derby.  As always it was a fun event!  For those who could not be there for the Championship and left their cars, You may get them from me at the sign up table.

It’s recharter time again.  For those who were new to scouting this year, let me explain.  The scouting year runs from March through February every year.  Technically, we are still in scouts in the summers, we just have a break.  (We still try to have at least one event a month in the summer.)  If you will be continuing in scouts for the next year, and in order for your scout to advance to the next rank, you will need to “recharter” (pay the yearly dues).  The recharter fee this year is $45.00 per scout.  Please come to the sign-up table in order to pay recharter.  If your scout is NOT a Webelos II and sold over $850 in popcorn, their recharter is free, please just give us a simple yes or no as to if they will recharter.

Blue and Gold invitations are still at the sign up table.  Please make sure to get these back to me in order to save you money and be sure we have enough food for all. The meals will be $6 per person if you return the form to me and pay in advance.  If you pay the night of the event, plates will be $9 a person.  Blue and Gold is one of the biggest nights we have in scouting, Awards are given, including those Leaders who are moving on and Pinewood Derby prizes, coolest car for each den will be announced and awarded.  We say congratulations to our Webelos II, who Bridge over to Boy Scouts right before the event.  It is also when we celebrate Scouting/s Birthday!  Please make a point to be at this wonderful banquet for our boys!
