Hello Parents of Pack 934,

I hope everyone had a great time in the snow over the weekend! It was beautiful and a great time to make memories! I am relieved it is gone though. We have several upcoming events to share with you.

Our
Pack Lock-In that was canceled last Friday, has been rescheduled and amended. It will turn into a Pack Activity night. We will have all of our activities (except staying the night) on Friday, January 27th. The Scouts who sold enough popcorn to earn a pie throw, get those pie arms ready! The movie of the night will still be Angry Birds. We will still meet in our den rooms between 5:45 and 6:00 pm that night.

We are pleased to announce that
Mayor Joines will be speaking to our pack at this months pack meeting, January 24th at 7:00pm. Please be sure to join us for this exciting event!

The
God and Me class that was canceled due to snow, has been rescheduled for January 31st. If your child is attending these classes, please mark the new date on your calendar.

February will bring lots of excitement as well! Mt Tabor UMC will have
Scout Sunday February 5th. We would love for all scouts (even those who do not attend Mt Tabor UMC) to join us if possible. This year we will flip with the Troop and we will attend the traditional service that is in the sanctuary. We will meet at 10:45am and sit together. The service begins at 11:00am. Please sign-up and join this year’s Scout Sunday to say “thank you” to our biggest supporters! The congregation loves to see the young lives that are being shaped through vital program.

Also, Monday, February 13th, (was scheduled as a WSFCS teacher workday, but has since changed to a snow make-up day) we had previously scheduled a
ski trip to Sugar Mountain. This is the only date that we can get the great rate of $25.00 for skiing or $30.00 for snowboarding. We are leaving it up to you, parents as to how you would like to handle this date. We will leave the trip open, but need 15 people to secure the rates. Children MUST be 8 years old to attend. You will need to be there by 9:00am. Please let me know if you would like to attend, so we can ensure we have enough people.
Pinewood Derby is fast approaching. If you have not received your PWD car kit and would like to participate, please visit the sign-up table at our den meeting next Tuesday, January 17th. Lowes Home Improvement will have a PWD building lesson from 11-2 this Saturday, I have been told.

The Old Hickory Council and The Day Camp Directors are looking for volunteers for this summers Day Camp that will be held at the Children’s home. They have also added a 3 evening Twilight Camp this year for those who can not come during the day. Please see the attached brochure for more information. The volunteer application is also attached. If you volunteer every day of the camp, you get one free cub scout registration!
