Den meetings continue tonight at 7pm. If you are doing God and Me, classes will continue at 6pm this evening. This email has a lot of important information, so please read it carefully!
Pinewood Derby
Pinewood Derby is this weekend! For our new families/new racers, all cars must be brought to the church between 5pm and 8pm this Friday for impound. No cars will be allowed to race on Saturday that are not impounded. Back by popular demand, we will have a zoom link for your friends and family to watch you race! Den leaders will be sharing that with you shortly.
On Saturday, please show up 10 minutes prior to your race time. This is a Class A event. A couple of girls from Troop 964 will be on hand to sell food as a fundraiser – please support them! There will be donuts and coffee in the morning with a switch to a hot dog lunch later in the race.

Blue and Gold Banquet
Our annual Blue and Gold Banquet will be held on Friday, February 24 at 7 pm. Tickets can be purchased here. We have a very special guest that will be with us as our keynote speaker: Jahmal Banks, wide receiver for Wake Forest University. We would love to have as many scouts as we can to hear him speak – he’s got a great story to tell!
Blue and Gold banquet is also an awards ceremony. We will recognize Pinewood derby winners and coolest car winners, along with our outgoing leaders.
Summer Camp
It’s hard to believe, but summer camp is right around the corner! Camp this year will be held June 14-June 17. Camp costs are $180 per scout and $85 per adult – one adult is required per scout. A deposit of $50 will be due on April 23, with the balance due on May 23. Please fill out this interest form.
Fundraiser: Camp Cards
This year we’ve decided to participate in Camp Cards through Old Hickory Council. These are discount cards for places in Forsyth County and can be used multiple times during the calendar year. The cards are $10 each, and $5 will be put into a credit account for each scout that sells. This is a great way to pay for your resident camp fees! If you are a family that does not plan on attending camp but are interested in helping us refill our scholarship fund, please consider selling camp cards for that purpose! Please see Alicia this evening for more information and to pick up your cards.
