Genius Kits
–
have
fun with them, make what you want from what is supplied, create your own
masterpiece and bring
to the January Pack Meeting
to display.
Please, Grab your son and
go thru his Book!
̃
There
is nothing worse than having a ton of awards at the end of the year that creates
a marathon Pack Meeting.
̃
We
are coming up to that time of year that requires you to go thru your son’s book
with him and see what he has done and make a list of what he can still do as we
start heading down the backside of our year to graduation.
̃
You
will be amazed at what your son has probably done in school as well as in his
everyday activities that will count in his book.
̃
If
your son hasn’t earned his rank badge please go thru the book and understand
what your son needs to achieve it. Once they graduate – they can’t go back to
earn it.
AWESOME
JOB ON THE ALUMINUM CANS! Keep
collecting them:
o
Thanks
for taking pride in your conservation projects!!!!
Every
bit helps to make our Pack better and to keep our earth clean.
o
Mr.
Tim Cotter will be collecting the aluminum cans at each pack
meeting so you don’t have to keep bags of them in your garage. If you
have a lot of
cans
let Tim know, or if you wish to get them directly to him please call him at
320-558-2304.

Pinewood
Get those
sanders and saws revved up scouts!

Each scout
needs to pay $3.00 to get the car kit.

Upon the scout racing the car at the
derby the $3.00 will be refunded by your leader.
̃
Additional cars
are available to purchase for parents and other family members to race – yes-
all family members to race – not just adults!!!
̃
We have this
extra category so more emphasis is put on the scouts making the car, not the
adults. So, please abide by
the rules that a scout needs to make and decorate the majority of their
car.
Blue and
Gold Banquet –

This is the
one you don’t want to miss – we have a potluck dinner and bring in
entertainment. It is agreat gathering of all our families. Of course the
entertainment is a secret! We will

say good bye to them as they graduate on.
Next Pack
Meeting:
January 28th

Friends
of Scouting (FOS) will be there –
These are representatives from the Crow River District/Viking Council that come
in to ask for donations to help support the Camps that we use at Fun with Son,
Day Camp and Webelos Camps. You can fill out a donation card and make payments
as you wish, they will bill you if you would like. It is a small price to pay to
keep a great program going, especially when we see such fine young boys graduate
each year to their next level in our program.
