Wake Forest Sports Spectacular

This message is for the boys attending the Wake Forest Sports Spectacular this Saturday.  All scouts need to be in their Class A uniform, and will need to meet behind Section 113 at 6:30 pm to begin the evening by lining the tunnel and greeting the Demon Deacon players with high fives as they enter the court.  Scouts are also asked to gather behind the main lobby eight (8) minutes prior to half time to prepare for the individual recognition at center court and receive their basketball.  Following the game, Scouts will be invited to remain to meet players and coaches for a post game photo shoot.  Tickets will be available at the will-call ticket window on the evening of the game, or can be picked up at Wake Forest Bridger Field House Ticket Office beginning Wednesday, December 5th.

Scout Recruiting

The Old Hickory Council has come out with a great recruiting tool!!!  When a scout gets a friend to join, both he and the new scout will be entered into a drawing for $100 gift card to the scout store.  The scout store has great deals, especially when you find the item you want on sale for 25% off.  Click on the link below for more details.

The Cubmaster Minute – November

November is one of my favorite months of the year.  It is a month where football is in high gear and basketball is getting started.  It is the month we mentally begin to get ready for the upcoming holidays.  More importantly, it is the month we begin to reflect about how blessed we are as a nation.  November is the month we honor our veterans and their families for the sacrifices they made for us.  It is the month of Thanksgiving, which is a time we spend time with our loved ones and thank God for all the blessings.

The cub scout value for the month of November is Citizenship.  I want to encourage you to read this article about a Thanksgiving favorite, sweet potatoes, and how a group of fourth graders we able to change a state law.
