One week before Summer Break
This Tuesday is our last official meeting before summer break. Again, we might have new families looking to join, if you see new faces please welcome them. Thanks to the leaders for a wonderful year in cub scouting. Remember, we will have our End of the Year party on Saturday June 13, 2015 from 2-6 PM at Lake Michael in Mebane. Each family is asked to brings sides, desserts and drinks to share with all. Remember Lake Micheal allows fishing, has a few hiking trails and a play ground area. If you have not signed up please (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1AptCbz03fqnnI4jATeGxsDRz4cyqFWVCVMmR2PqGeHk/edit?usp=sharing) do so by Tuesday so we can purchase the meat and buns needed. Also we will run the Rain Gutter Regatta at this event. If you still need a kit that will be available Tuesday night for $4. Each scout can only run one boat, but they do not have to participate. We have purchased a new course for this event. In the past, we have run this in actual rain gutters, but this year we purchased an inflatable gutter course from the scout store. Our thoughts are this would be easier to transport and store. We blew it up last night and put an older boat in the water, and realized the new course is wider which allows to boat to turn. With that being said, we may need adults on each side helping with the boats. For new parents the way this works is you build the boat with only the items in the kit, you are allowed to paint the boat, and trim just to 6 1/2 - 7'" long on the pontoons. The mast has to be 6 1/2 inches tall from deck, you can trim the sail, but you can't make it any bigger. For the race, each scout will face another scout twice, once in each lane to determine the winner of the heat, the scouts are given straws to blow their boats with, the straw cannot touch any part of the boat while racing. If you have any questions please let me know. We do not award certificates only trophies to the top 3 finishers. We will start the scouts racing in their dens and then move them forward as the competition goes along. We have a lot of things planned for this summer and we hope that the scouts will participate in many that we offer. Our summer newsletter will be out by next weekend and it will go into details of some of the special patches the scouts can earn over the summer if you attend the right events depending on the patch being sought. First of all Brandon Black is going to work on NOVA program for three Tuesdays this summer June 30, July 7 & July 14, if you are interested in your scout being a part of this special program please let Brandon know.
