Happy Summer
We hope all of the scouts who attended Webelos camp had a great time and were able to stay cool this past week! Remember tomorrow we will host our once a year cub scout planning meeting. We encourage a family member for each scout to attend as we make important decisions for the upcoming scouting year. We will meet from 2-6 PM at the Boy Scout Hut and dinner is being provided by the Black's and Crabtree's. Our next Summertime Pack event will be a Pot Luck picnic at the Crabtree's on July 17, 2015 starting at 6 PM. We will have dinner and play a few games in the back yard working on the Cub Scout Outdoor Activity patch. Right now we only have 2 families signed up to attend, we need at least 6-8 to make it work for the night, so please sign up if you plan to attend. To earn the Outdoor Activity Patch here is what a Scout must do: either have attended Twilight camp this summer or Cub-0-Ree in the fall. Then there is a requirement that is based on rank that we encourage all of our dens to work on this summer. After that you have 14 options to choose from; at the Wolf level you have to do 5 and Bears must do 6, and at the Webelos you must do 7 to earn the patch. For our pack, we have some activities setup already, first is participating in a hike with our hiking program, this should not be a problem. We will offer at least two hikes this summer. While on the hike, we will discuss the buddy system, something we do before each hike. Our 3 options as a pack are participate in a picnic or a fun day. We will have set up a pot luck at the Crabtree’s for this option. Along with that it states to participate in an Outdoor sporting event. We will have kickball, cornhole setup for kids to play and hopefully some other things that evening. Earn the Summer Pack Award is an option, that would be 5 that could all be done this summer without too much trouble. We could finish it off at the Lake Jordan camping event with the older scouts doing a campfire program by doing those last two items will get the Bears and Webelos at what they need to finish earning this patch. There are other options that if your den wants to choose to work on they certainly can with some planning. Please make sure Travis knows in advance about any additional activities and attendance afterwards, so all get credit where credit is due. Yours in Scouting, Lisa
