Mandatory Cub Scout Popcorn Form & Optional Money Turn In Reminder – 6:00 pm – 7:15 pm – Come Early

Posted on by
Dear All,
Please remember tomorrow, Tuesday 10/27/15, is our Mandatory Popcorn Form Turn In Night in the Fellowship Hall at Mt Tabor UMC. You can also bring any money that you have already collected.
 We are opening the Fellowhship Hall early at 6:00 pm. Please come as early as you can. We are only accepting forms & money until 7:15 pm so we have time to count it all and determine the popcorn winners.
We are trying to get all the parents through the process so they can see their sons getting their awards in the Pack Meeting at 7:00 pm. This is a class A uniform event.
If you can’t get to the popcorn form turn in, please contact me.
See you tomorrow night!
Take care-
Shannon

Cub Scout Pack Meeting, Popcorn Form & Money Turn in and God & Family Classes – Next Tuesday, 10/27/15

Posted on by
Dear All,
I hope you are all having wonderful weekend. We have several things going on this coming week, please bear with me as I try to explain it all and feel free to email me with questions. This Tuesday please have your scout wear his class A uniform.
Here is a summary of the evening:
Tuesday 10/27/15
6:00 pm – 7:15 pm – Popcorn Form & Money Turn-in – Fellowship Hall
6:00 pm – 7:00 pm – God & Family Classes – 3rd Floor Library (Pineapples) & Room 307 (Pepperonis)
7:00 pm – 8:00 pm – Pack Meeting – Family Life Center
Details:
6:00 pm – 7:15 pm – Popcorn: We will have popcorn forms & money turn in the fellowship hall (where the Wolf den meets on den nights). This is a mandatory form turn in night. Please remember to keep a copy of your form.
 
Popcorn raffle and the top three seller prizes will be awarded at the end of the Pack Meeting that begins at 7:00 pm. This is also the first night that you can turn in your popcorn money early. If you are bringing checks to turn in, please write your scout’s first initial and last name as well as your scout’s den number on each check.
If you don’t know your den number, they are listed below:
  • 1st grade – Tiger – Den 3
  • 2nd grade – Wolf – Den 1
  • 3rd grade – Bear – Den 5
  • 4th grade -Webelo I – Den 2
  • 5th grade – Webelo II – Den 7
 If you can not make the pack meeting, please email me so we can make arrangements to get your form early.
 
6:00 pm – 7:00 pm – God & Family Classes: The scouts who are signed up for God & Family classes, will have class at 6:00 pm on Tuesday.  As you know, we split our group into two groups; Pineapples & Pepperonis. The Pineapples begin in the 3rd floor library and the Pepperonis begin in room 307.  Please have your scout bring your God & Family workbook & if you have one, a bible.
7:00 pm – 8:00 pm – Pack Meeting: Our pack meeting is this Tuesday as well, in the Family Life Center at 7:00 pm. We have several scouts who have earned their Bobcat Badge from various dens. Those will be awarded in this meeting. Please remember that the scouts sit with their dens.
Current sign ups are for the Webelo I and Webelo II Camping Trip and the Airbound Scout Party.   Both of these events are free for our scouts to participate. I will try to have sign ups at the pack meeting but they will not begin until after the popcorn forms are collected and the money is counted. I want to support our hardworking popcorn committee as much as I can. I know that many of you may not be aware that I am standing in for our God & Family coordinator at 6:00 pm so I will not be in the fellowship hall until I arrive with the G&F boys at 7:00ish pm. Please don’t try to track me down early to get your football tickets for next Friday but hold your event money, questions and issues until I am finished helping the popcorn committee.

Scout Night WFU Football Game & Sleepover

Posted on by
Dear All,
It’s almost time for Scout Night at the WFU Football Game!   We are going on Friday, October 30th, 2015. Kickoff is at 7:00 pm. All event details are listed on our pack WFU Football/Sleepover webpage regarding timing, parking, check in and etc.
I am planning to give out the tickets at the pack meeting on Tuesday, 10/27/15. If you are not going to be able to attend the meeting on Tuesday, please email me so I can get your tickets to you. For our season ticket holders who have signed up, I spoke with the ticket office and they believe that we will have enough room in our section for you and your scout to sit with the pack. Our section is number 13.
I have to provide a headcount on who is planning to spend the night on the baseball field.  Please email me and let me know if you and your scout are spending the night with the pack after the game.
 
It is going to be a great night!

Cub Scout Popcorn Update – Form Turn in 10/27 & Early Money Turn in

Posted on by
Hi All,
We hope you are having an awesome popcorn season. At the round up this week, Mack reminded our pack families that the popcorn form turn in is this Tuesday, 10/27/15, at our pack meeting.
He also announced something new. This year our families have the option of turning in their popcorn money early instead of waiting until 11/24/15. You can turn in as much of your money as you have on Tuesday,10/27/15. Please limit your money turn in to two times during the season. To speed up the money in take process, you can write a check to the pack for your cash.
If you can not get to the pack meeting this week, please contact me to turn in your form and any money early.
 
Take care-
Shannon

Cub Scout God & Family Class #3 – Tuesday, 10/27/15 @ 6:00 pm Mt Tabor UMC 3rd Floor Library

Posted on by

Hi Everyone,

We had a great time at the God & Family this week. Our God & Family “Pizza” now has a crust (foundation) and sauce (unique ingredients that make our families including our families both by birth and by choice). The boys in our Pineapple group ( Reynolds Bailey, Noah Bridges, Jacob Brown, Hudson Maddux, Zachoriah Moore and Ben Taylor) , did not get to trace their body and draw out their hereditary features – example: I have my dad’s eye color. They can do that on page 10 in their God & Family workbook on a smaller picture or if they want to come early at 5:30 on 10/27/15, I will do a big one with them. Please email me if your child wants to come early by Saturday, 10/24/15.

This coming Tuesday, 10/27/15, we will meet at 6:00 pm in the 3rd floor library at Mt Tabor UMC. I am happy to take the boys downstairs after God & Family class to the Family Life Center for our Pack Meeting.

We are working on our toppings (our talents & gifts) this coming week with Dr. Mark Key from our Mt Tabor UMC clergy family.

Our scripture will be:

  • Moses and Aaron – Exodus 4:10-17, 27-31;17:8-13
  • Timothy and his Family – 2 Timothy 1:1-7; 3:14-17
  • 1 Thessaalonians 3:1-2, 6

I think the pizza (while fun) took too much time away from the class time this past week so I will bring some snacks for the boys this week instead.

Missing classes : We know that the boys will get sick from time to time, but we need to limit the boys’ missed classes to one class per series to receive their award. If you have timing issues, please contact me so I can work with you.

Take care-
Shannon

Cub Scout God & Family Classes Next Week, 10/20/15, 6:00 – 7:00 at Mt Tabor UMC

Posted on by
Dear All,
We had our first God & Family Class last Tuesday Night. It was great fun for all of us. Our class was led by the always entertaining Pastor Andy Lambert from the Mt Tabor UMC Clergy. We will meet again next week, 10/20/15, 6:00 pm – 7:00 pm at Mt Tabor UMC in the 3rd floor library. Please enter through the church office and follow the signs. We will take the boys on to their den meetings after the God & Family Class. Please remind your scout to bring his God & Family book and his bible, if he has one.
You may remember from my earlier message that this series uses the parts of a pizza to explain God’s plan for strengthening families. We talked about the “Crust” (foundation) of our Pizza (family) last night.
This week’s homework is one of the following three options:
(1) Have your scout explain the mezuzah (door hanger) to your family. Talk about what is important in your family’s Christian beliefs.
(2) If your family doesn’t currently say a blessing before meals, this is a great time to begin. A blessing or grace shows the importance of our belief in God and Jesus Christ. If you don’t know a table grace, try this one: God, we thank you for this food. We thank you for Jesus Christ. We thank you for loving us. And we thank you for our families. Amen
(3) Do something fun together with your family this week. Play a board game, take a walk, take a hike together or something else fun.
Next week, Mt Tabor’s Children’s Minister, Susan Ewing, will be working with us as we get into the “sauce” of our pizza.
The scripture we will use is:
Ruth & Naomi – Ruth 1:1-18, 4:13-17
Baby Jesus is taken to the temple – Luke 2:21-24, 40
I will stand in again for Stacy Stevens with help from Carmen Bridges (thank you, Carmen).
See you next week.

God & Family – First Class

Posted on by
Hello All,
This coming Tuesday, 10/13/15, Scout God & Family Classes begin! We meet at 6:00 pm in the Library which is located upstairs in our temporary scout meeting location. Please enter the church through the office door. The boys need to wear their class A uniform. I know 6:00 pm can be hard to make but please try to be on time.
We have twelve scouts signed up to participate. We will be splitting into two groups to work through the class materials. One group with work with a member of the Mt Tabor UMC Clergy while the other group will work with one of our Pack Leaders. Then we will rotate the boys.
Each boy will be given a workbook. Please bring this to every class.
This week, our bible verses will be:
Deuteronomy 6:4-9
Matthew 28:1-10
John 3:16
We will be talking about building a strong foundation for our lives focusing on faith and family. The course uses the components of a pizza to symbolize the parts of our lives so our part this week is the crust!
I will be standing in for Stacy Stevens, our pack coordinator, this Tuesday, see you then.
Take care-
Shannon
