we also have participated in a flag folding ceremony via video instruction and discussion, snd watched a video and learned about campfire safety and held a discussion about a situation/change in our community. We chose the virus and schooling from home and the rules we must follow. There is no doubt the Wolves get it and are educated on the situation and are doing what they are supposed to. It got them thinking about ways to get through this and that’s a win!
Over the next 2 weeks we will be wrapping up our program with more instruction to conclude their adventures for the year. We will keep in touch and plan for summer as best we can and we CANNOT WAIT to see all of your smiling faces again!
Our lives have been completely turned upside down this past month and we just want you to know “we are all in this together” isn’t just a saying for us. We are a pack. We are a family. We will support one another in good times and in bad times. Along with schooling and everything else, our scouting year has been disrupted and we have no real timeline for when activities and meetings will resume, but this doesn’t mean scouting has to cease. In fact, our leaders recently met via video chat and we have some really great and innovative ways to continue our program remotely, which we will be sharing after the holiday. In the meantime, enjoy your Easter and Passover with your families. Please count your blessings during these hard and scary times and know we are always here – isolation is hard. Home schooling is hard. And life itself is hard enough even without a pandemic- if you need anything, could use some advice or help with school or just need to hear a friendly voice- we are all just an email or phone call away! We miss you and wish you continued good health!
From all of us at Cub Scout Pack 1776 to you- Have a happy, safe, healthy and blessed Easter holiday!
Just checking in with our scout families! We know this virus is scary and has upended our lives on so many levels, so we at 1776 just want to say HANG IN THERE. We are all in this together. Let’s just do our part and stay isolated unless your job requires you out and about. Practice good hand washing and proper coughing and sneezing measures, all around good hygiene. We may as well use this as a good learning opportunity for ourselves and our children.
Last night our wolves put their creativity and engineering skills to the test. Each scout decided upon a paper airplane design to make and see how well and far it would fly. We conducted our first experiment based on the original design, then made adjustments we felt would make them fly more efficiently and then again. Each change helped them learn and demonstrate aerodynamics and problem solve how to fix what’s not working and how to improve what is- all great skills necessary in every endeavor in life, and a super fun way to learn! Next week we take our flight to a new level and build a paper plane catapult to soar even higher – or so we hope – we will find out!
OK, so we are not racing YET! But how can we if we don’t have our cars??? That’s what this Sunday is for!! You see, we will have stations set up prepared to cut and shape your block of wood into the car of your dreams. Once we are done, all you need to do is paint it, decorate it and add the wheels. Full directions, guidelines and weight requirements will be provided by us on Sunday and can also be found inside your Derby Car box.
To us Wolves, we may as well rename Monday ‘FUNDAY”! Our kids are constantly collecting things and getting more interested in hobbies, so we want to know just what it is that makes your little cub tick! This Funday, we are asking wolves to bring in something they collect. Maybe it’s Pokemon cards, or beyblades. Maybe it’s rocks, fossils or dinosaurs; sports stuff or comic books. If your child is anything like mine, it’s probably all of the above and more. So, have your little Wolf select one of his collections and bring it in for our version of Show and Tell. Scouts are welcome to bring whatever they wish (with parental approval, of course), but we recommend if the items are fragile or valuable, maybe those should be left at home, Please understand the leaders will of course be doing our best to ensure all items are properly handled and taken care of, but we cannot 100% guarantee anything. I know I am really excited to hear all about my Wolves’ interests and collections – I hope they are just as excited to share!
