I hope everyone escaped Hurricane Michael unscathed.  We were all disappointed to miss the Parent/Cub Camporee, but who would have thought things were going to get crazy.  Unfortunately, the date they have rescheduled is Nov. 2nd, which is our USS Yorktown trip, so we will be unable to make it to Parent/Cub.  Reimbursements will be given once we have received the money back, which will be in November.

We will have our regular den meetings tonight in the basement of Mt. Tabor UMC at 7pm.  Please have your scout bring his popcorn sales a little early so we can get him to his den meeting on time.  We will end our meetings at 7:45 to assemble in the Youth Commons for our Popcorn Rally.

We have several new sign-ups this week:

   God & Me:  This is a 4 week course for Tigers, Wolves, and Bears that will meet every Tuesday in November from 6 – 7 pm.  If there are any Webelos that have not taken this course and need it for their Religious Requirement, they will be given precedence.  The course has space for 20 scouts, so please don’t wait to sign-up.  This course also earns the Religious Knot.  This is the only patch that can transfer to the Boy Scout uniform.

     Webelos Camping Trip:  For all Webelos.  It is the first camping trip recommended for a parent to NOT go with your scout.  This trip is full of requirements such as planning, cooking, purchasing supplies, ect…They will leave Friday, November 30th and return Sunday, December 2nd.  They will be camping at the Kyle Johnson Center at Camp Raven Knob.  Please sign up at the table with Hope.   If you are a parent that absolutely wants to go on this trip, you will be helping as a Leader.

     Veteran’s Day Parade:  We do not have specifics yet, but normally this parade is downtown Winston Salem on Saturday.  (Should be November 10th)  We normally meet at 8 am to line up.  The details will be given soon.  Please come sign up if you are interested in being in the parade.

     Rockin’ Jump Trampoline Party:  Our trampoline party is scheduled for 6pm Tuesday, December 4th.  We have reserved the first hour as jump with 7 – 7:15 starting our celebration with cake.  Pinewood Derby kits are given out at the end, so you may begin work on your cars over the holidays if you like.  This is normally a free event, for meeting our popcorn goals, so please set those goals and go get them!  Our pack goal is $35K.
