Register for God & Family by Sunday, 10/13! Sessions begin on 10/15 at 6pm

Posted on by
Hello Pack 934 Families,
We hope your week is going well!  Next Tuesday, our Pack will start the 6 week series for God & Family.  This is a great opportunity for your Scout to earn their religious emblem for Cub Scout journey.  They can also transfer this emblem to their Boys Scout uniform.
Below is a summary of God & Family and a link to  Pray Pub for more information.  Please respond to both Maria Potrony and me via email by Sunday, October 13th if you’d like to register your Scout.
  • Cost:  Free for registered Scouts (Priority to Bears, Webelos I & II)
  • Dates:  Classes will begin promptly at 6pm on 10/15, 10/22, 11/5, 11/12, 11/19 & 11/26 (Pizza will be served!!)
  • Location:  Lower Level; Room TBD (same level as Den meetings)
The God and Family curriculum is designed to help youth understand the importance of family and God’s role in a healthy family.

Curriculum Goals:To provide an opportunity for young people and families to explore their faith together
To learn six ways of strengthening families through faith
To help families grow in God’s love
To memorize the Ten Commandments
Pizza!

Children will compare families and “pizza.” The six steps for making pizza will give students a concrete, “hands-on” model on which to build their understanding of God’s love for their families. They will make a pizza as they study how families can grow together in God’s love, and they will choose “family projects” to be done with their family at home.

Hello Friends,

I am excited to say, it’s Resident Camp time again!  We received our campsite assignment and we are in Kit Carson.  (For those who went last year, it’s the same campsite!)  For those who have not been before, the campsite has Adirondack cabins.  (They are cabins without doors.)  You will want to bring a tarp to cover the entry.  The nails are already in place.   No tents or air mattresses needed (unless your child will not sleep with the other scouts in their cabin).  There will be 6 mattresses in each of the 6 cabins.  Resident Camp can be very hot, you may want to bring sheets and a thin blanket instead of a sleeping bag.

Check-in (can be very confusing, please read) – Please arrive at the campsite between 1:00 and 1:30 pm, Wednesday.  We are NOT to be at the campsite before 1:00 this year.  You will see signs to go to other locations for check-in, that is for the Pack Leader, please go straight to Kit Carson (see the above map, when you enter Camp, stay to the right) and wait for further instructions for pack check-in.  (Which we will do together once everyone has arrived.  The address at Raven Knob is 266 Raven Knob Rd, Mount Airy, NC 27030 and the camp phone number is (336) 352-4307.
Forms – I will have all the forms. I will give the parents their and their scouts’  medical forms, scouts’ outdoor forms and YTP paperwork. You must show your paperwork at pack check in, please take it with you. You will go over your and your scout’s medical forms with the health staff at pack check in.
Swim Check Forms – I have attached the swim check form to this email.  If you would like to have a BSA Certified Life Guard (Red Cross Life Guards are BSA certified) to perform your scout’s swim check before we arrive at camp, please feel free.  They will just need to fill out the Swim Check Form.  You can then bring it with you to camp to turn in at the same time we turn in our health forms.  Ty Brown has also made arrangements for Swim Checks this weekend at his pool.  Please see previous email or you may reach Ty via text or call at 336-407-8145.    Swim check can also be completed after arriving at camp.
Meals – All meals are eaten at the dining hall.  We may have s’mores one night at our campsite as a pack. Class A Uniforms should be worn for supper unless directed otherwise by Mack Moore
Campfires–  This year there will be an  opening campfire (this requires class A uniforms) for Resident Camp. There will be a closing ceremony Saturday morning after breakfast, where awards and ribbons will be given.
Please watch the weather forecast and bring clothing accordingly.

Dining Hall Tables: Our Pack will be assigned tables in the dining hall for the duration of our stay at Resident Camp. It is every scout in our group’s responsibility to clean up the tables after each meal. This includes clearing all the dishes and trash, taking the trash to the dumpster, wiping down the tables and sweeping the floor under the table. It is expected that each scout will perform a particular role each meal.
Waiter Duty: Every den gets the chance to be a “waiter” at camp. That means that you and your scout(s) will go to the Dining Hall 15 minutes early when it is your turn and set up our pack tables. You will be responsible for getting the silverware, cups, drinks and meal specific extras for our tables. If you are late or don’t remember to go, our pack tables will not be ready when the pack comes to eat. Most Scouts like to be waiters because they get to be first in line to get their food!
I can’t wait to see you all there,
Hope

Swim Checks for Resident Camp TODAY!!

Posted on by
Hi Everyone,
For those going to Resident Camp, there will be a swim check today at 2:00 PM at the William G White YMCA if desired.  You may also complete swim checks at camp after health checks and tours, it just simplifies things if you are able to do it in advance.  Thank you Mr. Paul Young for arranging this check according to BSA Guidelines.  His number is 336-403-9134.  My apologies for the late notice.  Below is the information on the 3 swimming levels and for what skills they will be checking.

The three swim classifications recognized by the BSA are Swimmers, Beginners, and Nonswimmers.

Swimmers must pass this test: Jump feetfirst into water over the head in depth. Level off and swim 75 yards in a strong manner using one or more of the following strokes: sidestroke, breaststroke, trudgen, or crawl; then swim 25 yards using an easy resting backstroke. The 100 yards must be completed in one swim without stops and must include at least one sharp turn. After completing the swim, rest by floating.

Beginners must pass this test: Jump feetfirst into water over the head in depth, level off, and swim 25 feet on the surface. Stop, turn sharply, resume swimming, and return to the starting place.

Nonswimmers: Anyone who has not completed either the beginner or swimmer tests is classified as a nonswimmer.

All aquatics activities at Camp Raven Knob take place in Lake Sobotta, which has very different characteristics from a pool. The aquatics staff reserves the right to re-test any Scout, leader, or unit at any time.

Thanks,

Hope
