Cub Scout Service Project with Maple Springs UMC – This Sunday, 12-6, 2 PM – 4 PM

Dear All,
 
I hope you are all well. I know we said that we were taking a break for the rest of December until January 5th but something came up that I wanted to make you aware of.
Many of our dens have requirements for service hours. I know that the Wolves (2nd grade) and the Bears (3rd grade) have service hour requirements for particular loops. So when these opportunities come up, we try to grab them for the pack and sometimes the notice is short.
We have been asked by Maple Springs UMC (2569 Reynolda Road) to spread some mulch on the preschool playground. The weather looks like it will be good this Sunday – right now – a high of 57 and sunny. So we have set up a time of this Sunday, December 6th, 2 PM – 4 PM to spread mulch.
The mulch is already there and the church has a couple of wheelbarrows and shovels on site. So if you and your scout are available this Sunday, please email or text me and let me know if you are able to participate. Please bring work gloves, shovels, rakes and wheelbarrows, if you have them. Please wear a class B uniform, Cub Scout t-shirt or any other t-shirt.
We plan to meet in the parking lot on left side of the church if you are facing the church.
Take care-
Shannon

Airbound Party Changes – Please Read

Hello Everyone,
I am happy to say that many families decided to join us at Airbound since I sent out the reminder message this afternoon. Our numbers have really jumped up. You know I love a big party!
I updated Airbound about our change in number and they share my concerns about checking our large group in quickly. They suggest that in order to ease the check in process, that we arrive early – as close to 6:00 PM as possible and Airbound has asked us to bring printed waviers (even though we have them on file). Airbound assures me that having a paper copy will speed up our check in process so the boys can make the most out of their jump time.
Please click here for the electronic Airbound Wavier.  Please fill it out and bring it with you on Tuesday.
Take care-
Shannon

Cub Scout Webelo I Aircare Tour

Dear Webelo I Family,

I hope you are all well. I know Brad mentioned to some of you about making a den trip to tour a medical care air transport facility as a part of the First Responder loop.  Brad and Dr. Hiestand asked me to pass on the details for this upcoming den trip to the Aircare Facility.

The plan is to meet on Saturday, December 5th, at the Davidson County airport at 11:00 am in Lexington, NC.   The airport is about 35-40 minutes from Mt Tabor UMC. Please click this link for directions from the church.

Please have the boys wear their class B uniform (cub scout t-shirt).

The tour should last approximately an hour.  Siblings of elementary school age or higher are welcome to attend as well.

Brad’s cell phone number is 336-287-0159 and Dr. Hiestand’s cell phone number is 614-309-9859, should you encounter any issues traveling to the location. I will post this on the website as well.

Have a great time.

Last Popcorn Money Turn In Reminder – Tuesday – 11/24/15

Dear All,

I hope you are all well. On Tuesday, 11/24/15, at our pack meeting, we will have our last popcorn money turn in at the sign up table. Many of us need to turn in our money.

We will be setting up a table outside the Family Life Center so we don’t disturb the Bobcat Ceremony or the Mad Scientist. If your child is getting a Bobcat Award, please feel free to turn in your popcorn money after the Bobcat Ceremony, during the Mad Scientist portion of our meeting.

Thank you to those of you who contacted me and turned in your popcorn money early since you knew that you were going to be traveling this coming week for the holiday. If you are traveling during our pack meeting and haven’t turned in your popcorn money early, please contact me as soon as possible so we will make other arrangements, all money must be turned in by December 1st. Please remember that we are not taking money at the Airbound Party.

See you on Tuesday Night!

Take care,
Shannon

The Mad Scientist Comes To Our Cub Scout Pack Meeting This Coming Tuesday, 11/24/15

Hello All,

I hope you are all well. We are having our pack meeting this coming Tuesday, 11/24/15. We will meet at 7:00 PM in the Family Life Center at Mt Tabor UMC. We will have our awards ceremony 7:00 PM – 7:30 PM. Then we will have a visit from the Mad Scientist 7:30 PM – 8:00 PM. Think Slime! Yes, the boys will be making slime and they get to take it home!

I wish we could have this program open for siblings too but we were quoted a price for just the scouts including supplies. Please do not bring siblings expecting to participate, the scientist will not have enough supplies for extra children and we do not want a child to be unhappy. We will have other activities that the siblings can participate in the future.

Please remember to bring your Popcorn Money for turn in. We will have a table outside the family life center. If you aren’t able to bring your popcorn money, please contact me to make other arrangements.

Sign ups for Events/Trips: Currently, we are signing up for the Airbound Scout Party (free) and the Pack Ski & Snowboarding Day Trip. If you are thinking of bringing your scout to Airbound, please sign up or contact me, I am trying to get a solid headcount to use for ordering the cake.
