Reminder – Cub Scout Pack 934 Den Meetings tonight 7pm and Updates 8/28/18

Posted on by

Dear Friends,

Just a friendly reminder, we will have den meetings tonight at 7pm in the basement of Mt Tabor UMC.  Please park in front of the church building and walk down the driveway to the far right when looking at the building.  The Scout Entrance is below the metal stairway.  We will have signs and try to have someone directing.  If you are new to scouting or to our Pack and have not gotten a Welcome Packet yet, please see Hope at the table in the hallway.
If you are in need of Pack Number patches, we have the “934” patch as one, so that you do not have to sew each number individually.  They are $4.00 each and will be at the sign-up table also.
We are now signing up for Parent/Cub Camping which will take place October 12-14th.  The cost is $15 per Cub Scout and $30 per adult.  Lions (Kindergarten) may come for Saturday only.  The cost per Lion Cub and one parent is $20.  Each will get a t-shirt and a patch for attending.  Lions and their adult partners will need to bring a picnic lunch.  Archery and sling shot will be open to all.  BB guns will be open to Tiger Scouts and older.  We arrive between 5 – 8 PM Friday the 12th and depart from Camp Raven Knob after breakfast Sunday.

Resident Camp 2018 Details

Posted on by

Hello Friends,

I am excited to say, it’s Resident Camp time again!  We received our campsite assignment and we are in Kit Carson.  (For those who went last year, it’s the same campsite!)  For those who have not been before, the campsite has Adirondack cabins.  (They are cabins without doors.)  You will want to bring a tarp to cover the entry.  The nails are already in place.   No tents or air mattresses needed (unless your child will not sleep with the other scouts in their cabin).  There will be 6 mattresses in each of the 6 cabins.  Resident Camp can be very hot, you may want to bring sheets and a thin blanket instead of a sleeping bag.
Inline image 2
Check-in (can be very confusing, please read) – Please arrive at the campsite between 1:00 and 1:30 pm, Wednesday.  We are NOT to be at the campsite before 1:00 this year.  You will see signs to go to other locations for check-in, that is for the Pack Leader, please go straight to Kit Carson (see the above map, when you enter Camp, stay to the right) and wait for further instructions for pack check-in.  (Which we will do together once everyone has arrived.  The address at Raven Knob is 266 Raven Knob Rd, Mount Airy, NC 27030 and the camp phone number is (336) 352-4307.
Forms – I will have all the forms. I will give the parents their and their scouts’  medical forms, scouts’ outdoor forms and YTP paperwork. You must show your paperwork at pack check in, please take it with you. You will go over your and your scout’s medical forms with the health staff at pack check in.
Swim Check Forms – I have attached the swim check form to this email.  If you would like to have a BSA Certified Life Guard (Red Cross Life Guards are BSA certified) to perform your scout’s swim check before we arrive at camp, please feel free.  They will just need to fill out the Swim Check Form.  You can then bring it with you to camp to turn in at the same time we turn in our health forms.  Ty Brown has also made arrangements for Swim Checks this weekend at his pool.  Please see previous email or you may reach Ty via text or call at 336-407-8145.    Swim check can also be completed after arriving at camp.
Meals – All meals are eaten at the dining hall.  We may have s’mores one night at our campsite as a pack. Class A Uniforms should be worn for supper unless directed otherwise by Mack Moore
Campfires–  This year there will be an  opening campfire (this requires class A uniforms) for Resident Camp. There will be a closing ceremony Saturday morning after breakfast, where awards and ribbons will be given.
Please watch the weather forecast and bring clothing accordingly.  This is what the forecast states at present.

Dining Hall Tables: Our Pack will be assigned tables in the dining hall for the duration of our stay at Resident Camp. It is every scout in our group’s responsibility to clean up the tables after each meal. This includes clearing all the dishes and trash, taking the trash to the dumpster, wiping down the tables and sweeping the floor under the table. It is expected that each scout will perform a particular role each meal.
Waiter Duty: Every den gets the chance to be a “waiter” at camp. That means that you and your scout(s) will go to the Dining Hall 15 minutes early when it is your turn and set up our pack tables. You will be responsible for getting the silverware, cups, drinks and meal specific extras for our tables. If you are late or don’t remember to go, our pack tables will not be ready when the pack comes to eat. Most Scouts like to be waiters because they get to be first in line to get their food!
I can’t wait to see you all there,
Hope

Hi Everyone,
I hope everyone had as much fun at the Pack Hike as Peyton and I did!  It was a beautiful day, and even though I didn’t get to hike personally, I know Peyton thoroughly enjoyed it and I enjoyed the beauty of the area and the fellowship with everyone during lunch.  Thank you all for being my family away from family.

Our April Pack meeting is tomorrow evening in the Family Life Center (gym) at 7 pm.  The Bear den is in charge of setup, so Bear parents, please try to get them there by 6:45 to get the room ready.

The Tiger den will perform the flag ceremony, the Wolf den will have the candles, and the Webelos will be performing a skit for this last Pack meeting of the year.  Yes, you read that right, it is the LAST Pack meeting before the summer break.  My, how the year has flown!
⛺
For anyone who missed the Resident Camp sign-up, good news, you have ONE MORE chance.  We can still take anyone who wants to get in on the Wednesday – Saturday camp.  Please consider doing this.  The boys have a great time, but they also get a jump on their next rank.  They complete some of their rising rank electives and/or requirements while at camp.  It is always an exciting few days!  You will make so many great memories!  Even mom’s can go.  (We get a cabin or tent all to ourselves ladies!)  It’s one of my favorite events.  If money is a factor, please call either Mack, Chris, or myself, we’re happy to help.

The Bear Carnival and Invite a Friend Night will be May 1st.  All den’s should come and participate in the fun and games.  We will have Sno Cones and Popcorn in exchange for the tickets earned at each game station.  Scouts will also earn a ticket just for coming and another for bringing a friend.  (Their friend will get tickets as well.)

Pack Hike Details for Saturday 4/21/18

Posted on by
Hello Everyone,
I hope everyone is having a great Wednesday.  I missed seeing a lot of you last night since I was helping my son’s den with the upcoming Bear Carnival and we had so many dens meeting in alternate locations and at alternate times.  The details for the Pack Hike which is taking place Saturday, April 21st are below.
 

Location & Time:

§  The hike is planned to take place at Hanging Rock State Park.

§  The address is 1700 Hanging Rock Park Road, Danbury, NC 27106-7417.

§  The Visitor Center phone number is 336-593-8480.

§  You can visit the Website: https://www.ncparks.gov/hanging-rock-state-park .

§  You can click here to view a map of the park.

 

Timing:

§  Please arrive at 12:30 pm.

§  We will meet in front of the visitor’s center.

§  Please check in with Hope or the Leader with the clipboard, as we have the event list of participants. If your schedule changes and you are not coming or you run into travel issues and will be late, please contact Hope at 615-516-8922 as cell reception allows. We will be looking  for you if you are on the sign up list.

§  You may leave anytime after the cookout.

Plan:

§  The park rangers will have a presentation for the scouts at 1:00 pm in front of the visitor center. The presentation will last about 30 minutes.

§  The hike will begin around 1:40 pm. We will be hiking in one big group made up of smaller groups based on den.

§  We will hike the Hanging Rock Trail (1.3 miles).

§  The trail is wide and has a gravel surface for most of its length, but becomes more narrow and rocky near the top. This trail, although short, is rated “more difficult” since it climbs steeply and has some obstacles.

§  Parents: to ensure everyone’s safety, please stay with your children at all times (unless you have arranged for another able adult to accompany them). This is a “must” since the terrain can be treacherous.  We request that your child be within arms length of you.

§  Please check in with Hope (or the Leader with the clipboard) once you are off the trail. If you don’t check in, we will assume you are still on the trail and if we can not locate you within a reasonable amount of time,

we will begin combing the trail with the Ranger looking for you and your family.

§  At present, we are planning to have dinner served at the picnic tables past the Visitor’s Center, if that changes we ill let everyone know.

 

What to bring:

§  Please wear class B uniform (cub scout t-shirt) for this event.

§  Please bring a side dish to go with hot dogs and chili if your last name                      starts with A – G.  If your last name begins with letters H – Z, please bring                a dessert.

§  Wear sunscreen

§  Bring a light jacket or rain poncho for weather

§  Bring a reusable water bottle for the hike

Cookout

§  We are fortunate to have Mack Moore organizing the cookout. We will be having hotdogs grilled at the picnic area along with chili for the hotdogs!  We will have bottled waters to drink. (I may also bring some lemonade.)

I look forward to seeing you there,

Hope

Good Afternoon Friends,

I hope everyone had a great time at the Kaleideum North Sleep-over.  I know my child enjoyed it.  Thank you to everyone for being so fantastic and going with the program flow.

Please do NOT forget to recharter your child if they intend to remain in scouts.  We need to know what their intentions are TONIGHT.  Please come see us at the table.  If you are in the Lions and Tigers dens, please still come to the table for a few minutes.  Maybe parents could take turns?  Or come before or after the den meeting.

You will notice several new sign-ups at the table tonight.  First will be our Pack Hike, which will take place April 21st at Hanging Rock State Park.  We will gather around 12:30 that Saturday and have a great time with the Native Games.  After which we will hike Hanging Rock, then have dinner together as a Pack after the hike.  We will provide the main course and ask for you to either bring a side or dessert.

We will also be signing up for the Spring Family Camping trip at Camp Raven Knob, which is scheduled for the weekend of May 18th-20th.  This will be a bring your tent camping trip.  It is free of charge, but we will divide up meal prep by dens, so you may be asked to bring a food item.  We have always had a great time on this trip!  It’s very relaxed.  Normally the Wolves are given an opportunity to earn their Whittling Chip during this event.  I encourage everyone to join us as this is a FUN time to really get to know one another and for the boys to unify as a pack!
⚾
Dash Baseball has invited us again, to be a part of the Cub Scout DASH Game and Sleepover taking place on Friday, June 1st.  The tickets are $16.00 per person and include Game tickets, Dash Hat, Scout Patch, on field pre-game parade with the pack, post-game camp out on the field with movie and morning breakfast.  Group recognition on the scoreboard.  For those who do not want to sleep over, tickets are $11,00 but your scout will not receive the patch either.  You can mix and match the two options as needed as well, if you are not spending the night.  You will need to bring a tent if you plan to sleep over.  (We have a couple of small tents available to borrow, if anyone needs to use them, please see me or Mack.)

That brings us to Cub Scout Resident Camp.  I can’t believe it is almost time for Resident Camp again!!  This year’s theme is “Dragons”.  Resident camp is for current Tigers – Webelos. Camp will begin Wednesday, June 13th (check-in is performed as a group in the early afternoon, so if you are taking off work for this event, you WILL need Wednesday off also.) and will end immediately following breakfast Saturday morning, June 16th.  Campsite arrangements are not finalized by the Raven Knob staff until the week before camp, I will not know until that time if we were able to get Adirondacks (cabins without doors),  If you have never been to Resident camp, you are missing out on an incredible experience!  I would urge you to come with us!  The boys follow schedules of coursework that allow them to get ahead on their new rank.  It is so worth the body fatigue to make these awesome memories with these boys, before they are grown and gone!  They will also pass the experience down to their little ones.  We have several leaders within our own pack whose pictures are on the walls of the mess hall, that were taken during  their time of working there as youths!  If you can’t tell, I am a HUGE supporter of this camp!  My son and I have gone every year so far, and hope this year is no exception.

If you made it this far, thank you so much for reading all of this info!  I know it was a lot at one time.  I appreciate every one of you and enjoy helping in this endeavor to grow our boys into great young men of character!!

Posted on by

Dear Friends,

I hope everyone enjoyed the snow Monday and the Spring weather today!  If you don’t like the weather, wait a minute, it will change!  With the Kaleideum North Sleepover coming up, tomorrow night, (wow how time flies!) I thought I’d finally get the details to you.  Kaleideum North’s address is:   400 W Hanes Mill Rd, Winston-Salem, NC 27105.

Health Forms:

A signed health form (attached at the bottom) is necessary for all children, even those who are accompanied by a parent.  Please make sure Pack 934 is completed on each form.  Health forms should be turned in the night of the sleepover.  A new Kaleideum Health Form needs to be completed each year.  Please see Hope upon arrival to check in and hand off the form.

What to bring:

Each person will need at least a sleeping bag and pillow, and whatever else you feel is necessary to be comfortable.  Some campers change into sleeping attire, while others wear something comfortable in which they can remain all night.  Although the museum will remain dimly lit throughout the night, flashlight will come in handy.  We will be serving a snack during the evening.  If you do bring snack items they may only be eaten in our Food Works area.  Vending machines are available for snack items and soft drinks if desired until one hour before “Lights Out”.  Some people do get hot or cold, we suggest dressing in layers. Kaleideum North does not provide showers, cots, or air mattresses.

Friday Evening:

The camp-in will consist of a scout workshop, snack time, museum exhibit free time, and a chance to view a planetarium show and a science program.  An itinerary indicating your time for participating in each activity will be provided at check-in.  Snacks consist of two pieces of pizza (cheese or pepperoni) with drink. Snack is not served until mid-evening so please make sure campers eat dinner before arriving.  After 4:00pm our main phone number will be rolled into voicemail.  If there is an emergency and someone from your pack/troop must be reached, our night number is 336/767-6569.  This number will ring throughout the museum; please allow a few moments for someone to answer as we are all involved with camp-in activities.
