The outdoor workday originally scheduled for 3/29/14 (tomorrow) through Mt Tabor UMC is being rescheduled due to predicted rain. It has been rescheduled for this coming Monday morning, 3-31-14. Any cub scout den or family interested in participating should meet the group at Biscuitville on Robinhood road at 8:00 a.m. or at Mt Tabor Church at 8:30 a.m. Please bring gloves, rakes and pruning shears.  The phone number for the church office is 765-5561.

This event is also known as Trustee Workday and was mentioned in a previous post “Volunteer Activities” from Terry Snider.

In keeping with our inclement weather policy, there will not be Den meetings tonight. As a reminder, our policy is “No school, no scouts.” That includes early dismissals as well as when schools are closed.

With that being said, we will be having a Leader meeting at 7pm tonight. We will be discussing the upcoming events (Spring Family Campout and Resident Camp) and debriefing the Blue & Gold Banquet. All parents are welcome to attend the meeting.

Parents,

Tired of your children playing video games and communicating via text messages?  How about trying tabletop games like many of us played when we were kids?  Tim Braun,  father of Tiger Cub Konrad, has extend an invitation for all Cub Scouts and their families/friends to attend an event for International Tabletop Day.  The purpose is to encourage social interactions, inspire friendly competition, and most importantly for have fun while playing tabletop games.

The event will be held on Saturday, April 5th from 11:00 am to 4:30 pm at Forsyth County Library – Reynolda Manor Branch.  For more information, please visit:

Parents,

We have a couple of great volunteer activities available to us.  Both are great opportunities to give our boys a sense of accomplishment while giving Goodwill!!!  Both events should last no more than four hours.

The Community Garden Committee at the Robinhood YMCA will be spreading mulch this coming Saturday, March 15.  Work begin at 8:30 am and should be finished by noon.  If you plan to participate, please bring rakes, forks, shovels, wheel barrows and/or anything needed to move mulch.

Mt. Tabor UMC, our chartered organization, is having its outdoor annual work day Saturday, March 29th.  It will begin at 9:00 am and should be finished by noon as well.

Please let your Den Leader know if your child participates.  Remember, we ask your son wears his Class B uniform (scouting t-shirt) when participating in Pack-sanctioned volunteer activities.  Speaking of t-shirts, we have Pack 934 t-shirts available for $10.00 (our cost) for any parent who would like one for their child.

The Blue and Gold Ceremony has been rescheduled for Tuesday, March 11th.  The Arrow of Light Ceremony will commence at 5:30 pm, and will be followed by the OA Bridging Ceremony.  We would like to have as many Webelos I (Den 3) participate as possible.

The doors to the Blue & Gold Ceremony will open at 6:00 and we hope to start serving dinner by 6:30 pm.  Please reach out to your respective Den Leaders if you are available to help set up the Family Life Center for the Blue & Gold or be willing to help serve the food.  They will share your information with Neil Raymer, Webelos II Den Leader.

All scouts must wear their Class A uniforms.

Parents,

The Pack Leadership has decided to cancel the Blue & Gold Ceremony schedule for this evening.  We are looking to reschedule for Tuesday, March 11th.  We will distribute information as we finalize the rescheduling details.

Leaders,

Please ensure you are up to date with all your training requirements by the March 11th re-charting deadline.  This includes Den Specific training, Youth Protection Training, and/or Pack Committee training.  Parents, you are more than welcome to take the training as well.
