Our Pack is going to start a Health Form notebook again. Since Health Forms are good for one year, this is a good time to collect the forms. Over the next few meetings, I will be collecting the forms.  The form is available here: Health Forms. Please consider turning in forms for the entire family.

Here’s how we will handle the forms and who will be able to see them:

• All forms will be put in a binder, separated by family.  Each families forms will go in a plastic insert.
• Forms will only be pulled out in the event of an emergency.
• The notebook will be kept up by one of our Pack Committee members.
• Prior to an event, that committee member will hand the notebook over to the designated leader for that event.  After the event is over, that leader will return the notebook to the designated committee member.
• We will keep this notebook up until the end of May.  At the May Rank Advancement Ceremony, we will return any forms as requested.  The remaining forms will be shredded.
• Separate health forms will be needed for the following activities:  SciWorks (they have their own health form), Resident Camp, and District Day Camp.

If you have any questions, please email me (michael.nebinger@gmail.com) and I will answer them the best that I can.

This Saturday we have our annual Pack Bike Ride. We will meet at the Muddy Creek Greenway behind Meadowlark Middle/Elementary Schools at 10:00. Helmets are required. This is a family event, so siblings are invited. Please send Chad Nolan an email if you will be attending so that no one is left behind. His email address is cdnolan@wakehealth.edu.

Thanks. Let us know if you have any questions.

Thank you to everyone who registered.  Our Pack will have 51 scouts attending the Camporee, along with 51 adults.

As soon as I get our campsite assignment, I will post it here.

In the meantime, here’s some more information for you:
1. Every attendee (scouts and parents) will need to have a health form filled out, Parts A & B.  A fillable PDF can be found here.Health Forms.
2. Here is a schedule of activities.Parent Son Schedule.
3. Something new this year. Any scouts wishing to do shooting sports (for us that means BB guns & Archery), you will need to print out this release and sign it. Bring it with you to camp. Shooting Sport Permission.

If you couldn’t get to the meeting last night and still want to sign up, please email me michael.nebinger@gmail.com for instructions.

It’s not too late to sign-up for the Parent-Son Camporee, but tonight is the deadline. We will be having our Leader Meeting tonight from 7-8pm in the large downstairs room. Come by during that time. We’ll have sign up forms there at that time.

This website is the Pack’s main form of communication. Each time an update is made to the front page, the website automatically sends out an email to everyone who is subscribed. For our new members, the email address you provided on your son’s application was entered for these emailed updates.

You are not limited to just one email address. If you would like to get an email at your work and home, of if both parents would like an email, it’s easy to add it. From our website, just click Subscribe in the menu bar above. Enter the email address you’d like to add and click the subscribe button.

If your email address changes, or say for example your boss says you aren’t allowed to get personal email at your work address, follow the same steps above. Enter the address you want to remove and click unsubscribe.

We also put our calendar on the website. You can subscribe to the calendar also and have those dates added to your google calendar or your smart phone calendar.

Please let me know if you have any questions. Also, it’s rare that we remove content from the website, so feel free to read about things we’ve done in the past.

Parent-Son Camporee is coming soon!

Who: All Cub Scouts and Parents

What: Parent Son Camporee

Where: Camp Raven Knob

When: Oct 11-13

Why: Lots of fun for the boys!

Cost: $25/parent.  Cub Scouts are paid for by the Pack!

Details are available by hovering over Pack Events in the menu above, then click on Parent Son Camporee.

Signups are only for one week, 9/10 – 9/17.

This is not a family camping trip.  Only registered scouts and their parent(s) can attend.

I would like to welcome our new members to our Pack! We had 20+ boys sign up last week. Every Den except for the WebelosII’s have new members! Existing scouts, please make sure our new scouts are welcomed into your Den.

This week would normally be a Leader Meeting. But the Pack Leadership decided over the summer that it wouldn’t be fair to get the boys all excited at the kickoff meeting and then make them wait 2 weeks for a Den Meeting. So we will have a Den Meeting this Tuesday and the Leader Meeting the following Tuesday.

So here’s our schedule for the remainder of the month:
9/10 7pm Den Meeting
9/17 7pm Leader Meeting
9/24 7pm Pack Meeting

We will have Committee Members available to direct you to the correct room this Tuesday.

Also, the Leader Meeting is open to all parents. In the meeting we discuss and make plans for upcoming events. We also will be providing Den Leaders with the following month’s Core Value. If you would like to provide input on how the Pack is run, this is the time to do it!!!

Here’s some important dates coming up:

8/20 7pm Leader Meeting
8/27 7pm 1st Den Meeting
9/3 7pm Kick-Off! Bring a friend!

Also, sign ups for Parent-Son Campout will begin on 8/27. Parent-Son will be at Camp Raven Knob 10/11-10/13.

Someone left these shoes at Resident Camp. Please get in contact with me if they’re yours.

We have been assigned the Seton campsite. This is an adirondack site. Each adirondack has 5 beds in it.
