Dear Friends,
We would like to take a moment to say “thank you” to all the parents and scouts that participated in the Pinewood Derby this year! Because of you all, the derby was a wonderful time of fun and fellowship for all who were there! The boys were all kind and respectful of each other! There were some really cool cars and a LOT of really fast cars!
Speaking of cool cars….the results are in on who won coolest car in each den. The big reveal will be at our annual Blue and Gold Banquet on Saturday, March 4th at 6:00 pm! Please don’t miss this night of food, fun, and celebration, saying goodbye to our scouts and leaders who are going on to Boy Scouts and bringing in the new Leaders. We also celebrate Pack 934’s birthday at Blue and Gold every year. It’s the 87th birthday of our Pack, and still going strong! We will have an ice cream bar to celebrate!
For those who are not aware, usually we have our Webelos II Arrow of Light and Bridging Ceremony on the same night as Blue and Gold. This year we are doing things a little differently. We will have our Webelos II ceremonies on Tuesday, February 28th during our pack meeting. We will give out all other den awards first, then have a Bobcat Badge Ceremony. We will then go straight into the Webelos II Arrow of Light Ceremony. (This will all take place in the Mt Tabor UMC sanctuary.) The Webelos II parents will be dismissed to go to the Fellowship Hall, all other scout dens and parents may follow (We ask that the Webelos II parents get to sit in the front.) The Boy Scouts will then bring in the Webelos II for the bridging ceremony. (The younger boys may really think it’s cool to watch, so I encourage you all to stay and support our fellow cubs bridge up to Boy Scouts!)
SciWorks sleepover is March 10th. If you signed up, and did not go last year, please see me to get a SciWorks health form. I have them at the sign-up table.
I have included all the events for the rest of the year for those parents who need to plan ahead. I know a lot of people need to request off work for events.
