Last night the wolves worked on the fitness requirements across two different adventures, ‘Running with the Pack‘ and ‘Paws of Skill‘. The purpose of these two adventures are to promote physical fitness and good health through games and other fun activities. During these two adventures they learn the importance of teamwork and good sportsmanship as well as keeping themselves healthy & fit.
Some of the takeaways from these two requirements are how activities increase our fitness and make us feel better; observation, listening skills, and learning to follow directions; good sportsmanship is important;being fair and respectful in competition;teamwork; and choosing nutritious foods to help you live an active life.
The corresponding parts of the Scout Law for these two adventures are ‘A Scout is Friendly‘ and ‘A Scout is Helpful‘.

Reminder: Next Monday, November 23rd is our Pack meeting, all Wolves should wear their class A or field shirt, if they have them. Also we will not be meeting on Monday November 30th; we are off for our Thanksgiving recovery day.
We have received several requests to extend the early bird discount by one week, and we are able to do so. So please accept this quick reminder that the deadlines to have your 2016 dues discounted is just around the corner. Paying your 2016 dues in full by November 16th will qualify for an early bird discount taking $20 off your dues. If you cannot make it in time for the early bird discount, your 2016 Dues need to be paid in full by December 7th.
Welcome back to a new scouting season. In addition to welcoming back our returning scouts we would also like to wish the best to our scouts who crossed over into the Boy Scouts at the end of the previous season. Your pack wishes you the best of luck and hopes you enjoy your learning experience in the Boy Scouts.
As we get back into the swing of things with our weekly meetings starting back up on Monday, September 14th. This is the time of the year for returning scouts to bring in any friends or family interested in scouting. If they join and pay their dues the referring scout earns their recruiter badge.
We will be holding monthly parent meetings on the last Monday of every month. Our goal is to keep these meetings around 15-20 minutes. When there is a Pack meeting that Monday, the parent meeting will be part of the pack meeting. The format will be to inform you of what is coming up; any issues, concerns or changes going on; what your scouts are working on, and any assistance we may need. We ask that you be sure at least one parent or family member attends each meeting.
Next Friday, August 28th, is our rain date for the swim club. There will be no swim team so the pool will not open until 11. We will start our swimming requirements at 11 AM. Everyone is invited to stay until 5 PM to swim, play wiffle ball, basketball, soccer, or anything else they want. Cost for scouts is $15 and that will include lunch and entrance to the pool. Lunch is a choice of hotdog, chicken fingers, popcorn chicken, or grilled cheese with a soda and a side of fries. Parents and siblings are also invited at the same price. All siblings and Tiger scouts must have a parent present. Children under 12 will also get the kids meal. We will order pizza for the older kids and parents. Please text Brian Gallen at 267-259-2238 if you plan on coming. You do not need to notify him in advance. You can tell the front desk person that you are here with the cub scouts and they will page Brian. The address is 8814 Ashton rd.
