Hello Everyone,

We hope each one of you had a great weekend. This coming Tuesday, 10-7-14, is a Den Meeting night. For those of you, who are going on the Parent-Son camping trip this coming week-end, information will be coming out as soon as we have it.

Best Regards,
Cub Scout Pack 934

Parents,

We are off to a great start! So far, we have $10,317.25 in reported sales!!! Below you will find some important information as we continue selling in the weeks ahead.

1. SUPER IMPORTANT CHANGE: Please note that the date for final money collection has changed. ALL popcorn money is due by Tuesday, November 25th. Kim and I will be set up that night at the church collecting money. There is not a meeting that night. We will be there from 6-7:30 and this is the last chance to turn in money. If you cannot make it then, please turn monies in ahead of that time or speak with me about alternate arrangements prior to that date.

2. Den Coordinators: These are the people that you submit your weekly sales to.
Please let them know by 7pm Sunday how many orders and a dollar amount that your child sold for the week prior.
This is NOT a cumulative number.
It is only for the week we are in.

For example: Noah Boyce, Week One – 12 orders, $265, Week Two – 20 orders, $425 (Cumulative he has sold $690, but only reports weekly sales to the coordinator.)

Tigers: James Banner, jebanner@msn.com
Wolves: Greg Irwin, g_cirwin@yahoo.com
Bears: Paul Young, rpy@hotmail.com
Webelos I: Kendall Frederick, ksmbfred@gmail.com

**For your son to be considered for weekly prizes, their numbers must be turned in by Sunday at 7pm.**

3. Top 5 Sellers: This prize is awarded weekly to the top 5 salesmen in the Pack. This is a fresh start contest each week; not cumulative. Every boy has a chance to be that week’s top seller and claim his prize! **Again, to be eligible, the sales have to be reported by Sunday night to the Den Coordinator.

4. Military Donations: Please let the person know that they will receive a receipt for their donation for tax purposes. These will be distributed with popcorn at the pickup in November. Mark your order forms with the donation so that we know how many receipts to add to your order.

IMPORTANT DATES TO REMEMBER

Hello Everyone,

We have den meetings, popcorn update and Parent-Son Camporee Preparation tomorrow night.  In case you didn’t see the message about the Big Sweep for this coming Saturday, the information is listed below:

Big Sweep Clean-up:

This year we will be participating in the Big Sweep clean-up. It is scheduled for　Saturday, Oct 4 from 9 AM to noon.　 Our site this year is the Muddy Creek Greenway, which we will share with a couple of other groups.　 The Big Sweep is a great opportunity to gain service hours.　 Gloves, bags, and drinks, will be provided.　 Also, you’ll get rewarded with pizza afterwards.　 The event is rain or shine.　 We’ll have a sign-up sheet available on Tuesday so we can get an accurate headcount of how many Scouts/parents will be attending.  As the details are available, we will get that to you.

 Last year, the Webelos participated in this event and had a blast.　 While having fun tromping through the creek, they were able to extract about 400 lbs. of trash from Silas Creek, including a tarp, a fishing pole, part of a car’s spoiler, 2 tires, a piece of pipe, 3 tennis balls, half a dozen golf balls, and assorted plastic.

David Greenawalt is coordinating this event.  His cell number is 336-918-1300.

Pop on with the popcorn and we will see you tomorrow night!

Hello Everyone,

This Tuesday, 9/23/14, is our first Pack Meeting.  We will be meeting at 7:00 in the Family Life Center at Mt Tabor UMC.  For this meeting, the Webelos I den will need to arrive early to assist with the set up for the meeting. The Webelos II den will do the pack opening. The Bear den will be doing a skit.

Terry will be discussing the scout value of Cooperation.  All Scouts should wear class A uniforms.

Please remember the next events and comments from Kim’s latest emails.

Dear parents and scouts,

As a reminder, on Saturday, September 20, 2014, we will have our first scheduled day trip to Emerald Hollow Mine (Hiddenite Gems), in Hiddenite NC.

Sign up will continue Tuesday September 16th before and after Den meetings.  The cost per person is $12 and siblings are welcome to attend.

Here is the information from Stefano Marsella, the pack coordinator for this trip.

Trip Destination:   

·         Emerald Hollow Mine – 484 Emerald Hollow Mine Dr., Hiddenite, NC 28636

(828) 632 3394

Visit Website: www.hiddenitegems.com

Trip Date and Time:

·         September 20, 2014

·         Departure: Mt. Tabor Methodist Church Parking lot on Saturday, September 20, 2014 @ 8:30 a.m.

·         Return: You may leave at any time before closing time (4:30 pm.)

About Emerald Hollow Mine

·         The Educational Program and Field Trip lasts about 2-½ to 3-½ hours. Please plan to spend as much of the day, from 8:30 to 4:30, as possible – the more time, the more fun. The Educational Program includes the following:

o   Hear about the different kinds of rock and soil.

o   Surface Collection – finding gemstones on the soil’s surface. You will get to look for your own Gemstones

o   The Creekin’ activity is everyone’s favorite. Here you will learn about Density Weight and Gravity and what each has to do with why and where Gemstones and Gold are found in the creek bed.

• At the Sluiceway, you will hear the history of the area and why they learned to wash the ore to find the Gems. Each participant will receive one bucket of ore to sluice.
• Free Time! After the educational program, the scout/parent may enjoy the remaining time (until 4:30 pm) by returning to an activity that they enjoyed. The Creekin’ and Surface Collecting are free. An extra bucket of ore is $5.00; Ruby and Sapphire bucket ore is $5.00; and Super bucket ore is $15.00.

o   Emerald Hollow Mine staff will identify your Gemstones and answer your questions.

What to bring for your Gem mining adventure:

·         Bring a picnic lunch. They have five beautiful picnic areas.

·         The cost of our Educational Field Trip is $12.00 per person (child or adult). We will collect money at arrival. All parents pay same price as child. Bring the exact change to avoid holding up the starting time (we need all the time available for field trip activities).

·         Bring a large margarine container or the like with the scout’s name on it for Gemstone collection. This way, if misplaced, we can return those precious finds.

·         Wear old play clothes – plan on getting soil on you!

·         Bring a change of clothes and shoes, and maybe a hand towel to dry your feet after Creekin’. The Emerald Hollow Mine new large changing facilities are great.

·         Please dress appropriately for the weather, remembering that we will be outdoors and it can get chilly in early Spring, late Fall and when it rains. So bring that jacket – you can always take it off.

·         If the weather warrants it, sunscreen and bug spray are also good to bring along.

How to get there:

·          From I-40 at Statesville, North Carolina:  Take the US-64/NC-90 Exit number 148 off of I-40. Proceed west (right if coming from the east – left if coming from the west) on US-64 towards Taylorsville for approximately 11.2 miles. Turn right on Old Mountain Rd. (There will be a small “Hiddenite Next Right” sign at the turnoff.) Proceed for approximately one quarter of a mile until you come to a stop sign and caution light. You are now in beautiful downtown Hiddenite! Continue straight through the intersection. Cross the railroad tracks. You will also pass historical Lucas Mansion on the right. Continue on this road until you come to a stop sign and the road ends. Turn left. You will the sign and Emerald Hollow Mine Drive immediately on the right. Turn right onto the gravel drive which will lead you to the mine. The mine is approximately 20 minutes from I-40 in Statesville.

Hello Everyone,

We wanted to remind you that tomorrow night (9/9/14) is not a Cub Scout Den or Pack Meeting night but a Leader’s Meeting.  Leader’s meetings are open to all adults within the Pack that would like to attend.

These meetings are held from 7:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. and are located at Mt Tabor UMC in the Youth Commons also known as the Tiger Room which is where our Tiger Den typically meets.

We hope to see everyone next week, Tuesday, 9/16/14, at our Cub Scout Den Meetings.

Have a great week!

Parents,

I have pasted the email I received today regarding Saturday’s Scout Day at WF. You will see below he talks about hat vouchers.  I still have some after making sure all kids had one.  Just let me know or find me to get another voucher.  You can redeem the vouchers until 2nd quarter, but I think Adam is trying to accommodate scouts and families by being available before the game for those without vouchers.  Some of you have asked about the drop off/set up of tents.  The only thing you will be able to do early is drop your stuff off from 3:30-5:30 at the baseball field, you will not be able to set it up.  The rain plan is for us to move over to the coliseum.  You may just want to wait until after the game when you can drive your car to the field.  This way if they do change venue, you don’t have to load/unload again.

It has been decided for boys to wear Class B shirts which is t-shirts- not uniform shirt.

My cell number is 671-5915.  I will not be available by cell Saturday afternoon due to a funeral.  If you need to contact me, please do so early Saturday or after 5:00 Saturday.

Message from Adam Rich:

Good afternoon, we are 2 days away from the 2014 Wake Forest Scout Day and I wanted to send one last informational email for everyone, I do have a couple updates:

-The Youth Parade that was scheduled before the day has been canceled. The parade was suppose to be a celebration of numerous Youth Groups in the area, and unfortunately we did not get the turn out from the other groups. 

-The Hat Vouchers can be redeemed from 5:45-6:15 under the Scoreboard on the South end of the stadium. I will be there during that time to hand out the hats. If you have season ticket holders in your group that you did not need to order a ticket for, please let me know so I can have enough for everyone.

-Pictures will be on the field directly after the game, the security team knows the scouts have access to the field. You should be able to get on the field about 10 minutes after the game ends.

-The guest speaker will be a member of our basketball coaching staff, you will have an opportunity to ask questions, get autographs and pictures with him after he speaks, this is also when you will receive the Event Patch 

Also, we changed the move to The Sandlot. Please pay attention to the weather and plan accordingly.

To: Pack 934 Communications <pack934communications@gmail.com>

Good morning, we are extremely excited about the upcoming Scout Day next Saturday night! I have attached a schedule of events for the night and Sunday morning. We have added a youth parade before the game where the scouts will be able to walk on the field before the game while the band is performing (details on where to meet are on the schedule).

Also, a couple reminders while camping in the baseball stadium; no campfires, camp stoves or any other cooking devise is allowed on the baseball field. Some groups will be arriving early and cooking/tailgating pregame and some will be getting food in the stadium.  You are allowed to bring snacks to the baseball stadium.  Also, no tent stakes on the field.

You can park in the LJVM Lot for $10 per vehicle (we use the Baseball Lot as Season Ticket Holder Parking). I will be at the Baseball Stadium for equipment drop off from 3:30-5:30, you can walk the equipment over during that time.  You will be able to move your vehicle from the LJVM Lot to the Baseball Lot later that evening (most likely during the movie).

We are currently finalizing the guest speaker and once they are confirmed I will email everyone. In the event/threat of severe weather, we will move the event to the LJVM Coliseum. Let me know if you have any questions!
