Dear All,
It is Spring Break season! Many of our scouts are out of school this coming Tuesday, so there will be no Cub Scout Den, Pack or Leaders’ meetings on March 31st.
Our Den Meetings will resume on Tuesday, April 7th at 7:00 pm in the scout area of Mt Tabor UMC.
We hope everyone has a great Spring Break week or just a good break from scouts next Tuesday.

Dear All,

As you may remember, our cub scout pack has a brief clean up event at Mt Tabor UMC this Saturday morning. Thank you to all the scout families who were able to sign up at the den meetings last night.
The start time is either 8:15 am at Biscuitville on Robinhood road or at 9:00 am at the church courtyard, your choice. The coordinator estimates that we will be finished around 10:30 am. This is a Class B uniform event (cub scout t-shirt).  Please visit the pack website for a schedule of the morning and more information.
 
If you didn’t get a chance to sign up and would like to come, please email us and let us know so we can include you on event updates regarding weather or other changes that may arise.
Take care-

Den Meetings, Rechartering and Trustees’ Workday This Week

Posted on by
Hello Everyone,
We have den meetings next Tuesday, 3/17/15, in the Cub Scout area at Mt Tabor UMC at 7:00 pm. Please be sure to tell your den leaders if your scout has earned any additional scouting awards outside of den and pack activities by this Tuesday.
 
We have a fun and fast volunteer opportunity for your scouts. Next Saturday, 3/21/15, Mt Tabor UMC is having a Trustees’ Workday.   This is a brief session to spruce up the outside of the church before the Easter services in a couple of weeks. It is my understanding that this workday may be a way to satisfy some outstanding den requirements.
For the workday, the current  plan is:
  • 8:15 am – Meet at Biscuitville on Robinhood Rd (or)
  • 9:00 am – Meet in the church courtyard (participants can decide if they want to start at Biscuitville or in the church courtyard)
  • The group will pick up any small limbs & trash, do some light raking and spreading mulch around the shrubbery in the courtyard, around the administrative building and side yard between the sanctuary and parking lot/cemetery and add pine needles in the memory garden.
  • 10:30 am finish
Our church contact said that he has enough adults to do the mulch spreading but could use help with the raking, limb clean up and the pine needles. Those coming should bring rakes. This is a class B uniform event (cub scout t-shirt). The rain date is 3/28/15.
At the sign up table this Tuesday, we will continue to feature the Pack Hike, Rechartering and will be adding a new sheet for the Trustees’  Workday. Please be aware that the deadline for Rechartering is this Tuesday. We also have sciworks patches for any scout who attended the sleepover Friday night but didn’t get his patch.
We look forward to seeing each of you on Tuesday evening,
Shannon
