Volunteer Opportunities

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.

 

Blue & Gold Ceremony

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.

Blue & Gold Meeting Cancelled

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.

Leadership Training

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.

Blue & Gold Banquet

In light of the current wintry mix and potential scheduling conflicts, the Pack leadership has collectively decided to have the Blue & Gold Banquet as previously scheduled, regardless of the school schedule.  That said, we will post on the Pack website no later than 5:00 pm ONLY in the even the meeting is cancelled.  No Post at 5:00 = Blue & Gold is on as previously scheduled.  Once again, please use your own discretion as to whether or not you feel it is safe to drive.

Rechartering deadline

The deadline to recharter is next Tuesday, March 11th. We will have someone at a table at Blue & Gold, or you can bring payment to the leader meeting on the 11th. Rechartering is $60 and pays BSA and Pack dues through next March.

I have no choice but to drop anyone who hasn’t paid by 8pm on 3/11. After that you’ll have to fill out a new application.

This Week

This Tuesday will be a Den Meeting night. Unless your Den Leader has said otherwise, everyone will be meeting in their regular rooms tomorrow evening.

Tomorrow evening at 6pm is the first session of God and Me.

Mike Nebinger will be sitting at the table downstairs collecting for the following:
1. Rechartering for all scouts except Webelos IIs. Cost is $60. This covers the scouting year Apr ’14 – Mar ’15.
2. Blue & Gold Banquet. $10/family. Bring the sign up form that Kim emailed out.

Also the Pinewood Derby official scale will be set up.

Scout Sunday and Scouting for Food collection is this Sunday. We’ll be handing out door tags for Scouting for Food tomorrow evening.

Scout Sunday is a very important event for the Pack. We expect every scout to attend the 11:00 Traditional service in full Class A uniform (Shirt, neckerchief, slide, and belt). The scouts will march in as a group and sit together. This is the one time of the year that we show our gratitude to our sponsoring organization. If you have obligations at your church, you may drop off your scout in front of the church as early as 10:30, and pick him up by 12:20.
