Scout Sunday is this Sunday at Mt Tabor UMC. This is the one time each year that we ask our scouts to attend one of two services at the church. We will be at the 9am Contemporary service (Higher Ground) and the 11am Traditional service.

Uniform of the day is Class A.

For Higher Ground, please come to the gym before 9am. For Traditional, please come to the Narthex by 10:30 so we can get everyone lined up to process in.

Rechartering begins tonight. For those of you that are relatively new to Scouting, rechartering is what we call the process of renewing for another year of Cub Scouts and paying the annual dues. Dues are $55, and that will include a handbook, neckerchief & slide for your son’s next rank.

The Scouting year runs from April 1st – March 31st. However our deadline to recharter is March 5th. After that date you will probably have to fill out another application.

The annual Pinewood Derby is this weekend.  This is going to be a little bit longer than usual, I hope you will read it all.

Schedule:
Friday, 2/8 6pm – 8pm: Registration and impound
Saturday 2/9 Raceday!  Races are by rank:
8am – 9am  Tigers
9am – 10am Wolves
10am – 11am Bears
11am – noon Webelos I
noon – 1pm Webelos II
1pm – 2pm Championship.  Top 3 finishers of each rank
2pm – ?  Parents/Leaders race.  This has relaxed rules from the boys race.

Food will be available in the morning.  Please read this note from Sheri Nebinger:

Hi all, We (the Cub Scouts) are stepping up to provide food for the PWD.. I am going to get some food.. What I need from you is to help sell the food… We will start at 830 and sell food until 12 noon or until it runs out..  Please let me know if you can volunteer for an hour or more or less.. I will take what you can give..  8am -99am-1010am-1111am-12  Thank you.. Sheri N.

We will be starting selling camp cards soon. The camp card program is an easy way to offset some of the cost of Scouting.

All vendors on the card this year are in Forsyth County! Food Lion is the anchor tear-off.

Cards sell for $5.00. For each card sold, $2.50 goes into an account in your scout’s name. You can use those funds towards any event fees that the Pack collects.

We will be distributing the cards at the February Pack Meeting.

If you are interested, please email your Den Leader with the following info:
1. Scout name
2. # of cards you want

Den Leaders, please consolidate the responses and send them to me.

At the end of the sale, you will need to turn in the money and any unsold cards.

I will be collecting money at each Pack meeting so you don’t have to hold it until the sale end.

I’ve heard from a few people that will be arriving late due to basketball, MES Mother-Son Bash, etc. If you didn’t email me but are planning a late arrival please let me know. I need the scout’s name and estimated arrival time.

Here’s some information about the Lock-In this Friday evening.

7pm – 7am
7:00-7:25 Belt Loop Session 1.
7:30-7:55 Belt Loop Session 2.
8:00-8:25 Belt Loop Session 3.
8:30-9:00 Pizza snack in Fellowship Hall
9:00-10:00 Games in Family Life Center (Gym).
10:00 – 10:15 setup bedding, brush teeth etc
10:15 – 11:45 Movie in FLC.
6:30am Wake-up, pack up.
7:00am Out the door!  Breakfast is on your own.

Uniform of the evening is Class B (any scouting t-shirt).  Scouts do not need their handbooks.

A parent is required to spend the night if their scout is a Tiger. For all other ages, a parent should spend the night. If they can’t, that parent needs to arrange with another parent in their Den to be responsible for their son.

We will be sleeping on the floor of the FLC. It gets chilly in there overnight, so sleeping bags are recommended. Also you may want to bring an air mattress or cot.

Any questions let me know.

You should have received a registration email with options to sign up for belt loop activities. We will have 3 sessions for belt loops, so the 4th choice and alternate choice are in case I can’t put your scout in one of his first 3 choices.

Important: if your scout will be arriving late, please email Michael Nebinger.

If you didn’t get a registration email, also email me.

Parents,

Unless communicated by your son’s Den Leader, there will be no Den Meeting tonight.  Our next meeting will be next Tuesday, January 8 at 7:00 pm
