Dear All,
I hope you are all well. There will be a leaders’ meeting on Tuesday, 2/9/16, at Mt Tabor UMC at 7:00 PM in the Youth Commons at Mt Tabor UMC. So the boys have Tuesday off!
We have had a fun and busy scout weekend! The Lock-in Friday night was awesome! Marshmallows were launched, marbles were shot, small planes were flown and one den blew up a volcano outside. Thank you to all the parents that volunteered to help during the night. There was a small stuffed lion left at the lock-in, please contact me if it belongs at your house. The WFU Basketball Scout Day on Saturday ended in a 20 point loss to the Seminoles and I know that David and I will eventually come to terms with the loss. Scout Sunday was well attended by both the Cub Scout Pack and our big brothers in the Boy Scout Troop. A ton of food was collected during the services for Scouting for Food! Please click here to see a Scout Sunday Picture from the Ignite service (courtesy of the Stevens family). We would love to have any other pictures taken by our families!
Please remember to bring in your Scouting for Food donations for the Bread of Life Food Pantry at Northwest Baptist Church next Tuesday on 2/16/16. Also on 2/16/16, we will have the Pizza Party for the top 15 Pack Popcorn Sellers at 6:00 PM in the Fellowship Hall at Mt Tabor UMC. Our den meetings will be held in our usual den rooms from 7:00 PM – 8:00 PM at Mt Tabor UMC. Additionally, our Bear Den is working hard on the decorations for the Blue & Gold Banquet, they would like to take pictures of each den on Tuesday, 2/16/16, please have your scout wear his class A uniform for those den meetings on 2/16/16.
The deadline to sign up for the Sciworks Sleepover was extended to 2/16/16. The sleepover will be on March 11th. It is $30 for one scout and adult to attend. Please contact me or come to the sign up table on 2/16/16 to sign up. This year’s program is planned to be all about geology. Every boy I know loves rocks and wants to learn about them…… and maybe I do too! Please remember that you do not have to spend the night to participate, but the boys really like that part.
