Dear All,
I hope you are well. This coming Tuesday, 5/24/16, is an exciting night for our scouts – It’s Rank Advancement! The ceremony is in the Church Sanctuary and begins at 6:30 PM.
This is a class A uniform event.
We know that it is hard on our families to come early for the ceremony but we do ask that those that can come early, please do. We have divided up the responsibilities as follows below:
- Setup: Bear Den – 6:10 pm
- Pack Greeters – Open Doors/Hand Out Programs: Tiger & Wolf Dens – 6:15 pm
- Flag Ceremony: Webelo I Den
We realize that for many of our families this is the first time you have been to a Rank Advancement Ceremony. Please click here to see a diagram of how things are set up for Rank Advancement. The sign up table will be placed in the lobby area in front of the church sanctuary. Once you are inside the sanctuary, the boys will sit with their dens and their families will sit behind them. You will notice that I reserved two pews for the Webelo I and for the Wolf den, they are our largest dens. We will see when we get there, if we actually need tow pews or not.
As a part of the ceremony, the boys will take off their old neckerchief and slide, walk across the bridge and receive a new neckerchief, slide and book for their new rank. We welcome parents taking pictures, but please be mindful of the boys trying walk by and other parents trying to see or wanting to take pictures as well.
Below are the current sign ups for this Tuesday. Tuesday is the deadline for unpaid

Pack Vegetable Bed– Thank you to the families that have signed up to watch over the pack vegetable bed for a week this summer. Our first family begins this Sunday!
If you want to sign up to help, all that is required is to run by the Mt Tabor UMC community garden several times during the week you schedule. Ensure the plants are watered. Water the plants with water from the water collection barrel. (The buckets are provided.) Pull weeds and pick any ripe vegetables. If the garden coordinator is there, you give him the vegetables, if not there is a container beside the water collection barrels to place the harvested vegetables in and the coordinator will take them to the food pantry.
