Hello everyone. Last night the Tiger Cubs, along with the Bears and some of the Webelos 1’s earned their soccer belt loop. Most of the Tiger Cubs are at least 60% finished earning their Tiger Cub Badge, way to go boys! Please continue to keep an eye on your email and our website for updates.Oh and don’t forget if your Cub goes on a field trip, or family trip check and see if it happens to be a Requirement or Elective. See you all next week! 🙂
Webelos camping trip update 1-12
We need to change our plans. Unfortunately, the cabin was already booked when we called to reserve it. We are talking about having a Webelos sleepover at the hall. The hall is already reserved on Saturday, February 21st, for the pinewood derby workshop. We are seeing if the hall is available the night before (Friday, February 20th) for a Webelos only sleepover and workshop. Obviously, this won’t be as much fun as real camping but it will give the boys time to work on a lot of their requirements. More information will come as soon as we find out if the church will let us use the hall.
Webelos Update 1-12-15
Tonight, the Webelos 1 either played soccer or caught up on past assignments. Some boys were sent home with homework that they didn’t finish in the past. Next week, we will start the Scientist activity. If you bought model rockets for your son, please have them bring them in next week. This will also cover the Science section of the NOVA awards. If you didn’t purchase a rocket for your son, we will do a different science experiment.
The Pioneers started the Technology section of the NOVA awards. Again, they have the homework assignment of watching a couple of videos on YouTube and answering a couple of questions. Next week, we will start the Science section of the NOVA awards. All of the Pioneers bought rockets for this experiment. Please bring them in next week.
Webelos Camping Trip Update
Attention all Webelos parents! I am still trying to get a headcount for the February cabin camping trip. If I do not get enough scouts, it will cost too much to rent the cabin and I will have to cancel the trip. Can you please email me at BGallen@cubscoutpack1776.org and let me know if your scout can or can not go. Please let me know if you would like to come also.
Cub Scout Christmas
Merry, Merry Christmas. Tonight is the Cub Scout Christmas Party. The party is from 6:30 pm – 8:30pm at the gym. For those that wish to come help decorate the doors will be open at 5:30pm. The sign up sheet is available for reference if needed.
For those that did not sign up and want to bring something, please nothing with nuts.
Cubs can dress casual tonight. Uniforms not required.
Tiger Cub Parents…
Attention Tiger Cub Parents…Tomorrow night (12/15/14) we will be finishing our requirement for 1D, we’re making a short scrapbook. Then we’ll be doing 2 different Christmas crafts. So PLEASE HAVE BOYS WEAR PLAY CLOTHES. We will be working with glue, glitter and possibly a few other messy things. NO uniforms for Tigers. See you all tomorrow evening.
Webelos 1 update 12-8
Tonight, the Webelos started the Citizen Activity. Citizen and Fitness are the 2 required activities to earn the Webelos badge. The boys completed requirements 1,2,4,6,7 and 9. They partially completed 3,5, and 8. The scouts also started the required citizenship belt loop. For homework, scouts have to list 3 people they think are good american citizens and why (Req 13). Family members who served our country are always acceptable answers! They also have to write down what the pledge of Allegiance means to them. The boys made a list of their weekly chores. They have to put a check next to each day they do it. Next week, the boys will finish up with flag etiquette and make a poster about being a good citizen. This will complete the citizen activity and Citizenship belt loop.
Pioneer Webelos Update 12-8
Tonight, the Pioneers earned their Chess Belt Loop. This is one of the requirements for the Scholar Activity. Next week, we will start the Technology portion of the STEM awards. Some scouts still have to turn in the Engineering homework from 2 weeks ago. This homework was watching a Lego video on YouTube and drawing their own machine.
2015 Dues Deadline
Just a quick reminder that the deadlines to have your 2015 dues paid in full has arrived. Your 2015 Dues of $120 need to be paid in full by Monday December 8th and will cover the entire year from January 1st through December 31st.
We will be working on the Charter renewal paperwork the week of the 8th and submitting it to Council by December 15th. Those who have not paid will need to re-register which means a new application will need to be submitted with appropriate registration fees.
Dues are important and are what allows the pack to function. They provide for needed supplies used in regular activities and more importantly they keep your scout insured.
Webelos Update 11-17
The Webelos have been very busy the last 3 days!
On Saturday, we had our Scouting for Food Drive and our first sleepover at the gym.
On Sunday, almost all of the Webelos went to the Academy of Natural Sciences. They attended a 2 hour workshop to earn their Forrester and Naturalist activities. Despite being sleep deprived from the overnighter, the boys were very well behaved.
On Monday night, the first year Webelos worked on the Sportsman activity. They completed requirements 1 and 2. Scouts who were involved in our summer activities completed requirement 3 and 4 to earn the activity. Our newer scouts need 2 individual sports loops and 2 team loops to complete the activity.
To date, the boys have played kickball and softball to earn their team sports. If they completed the Athlete activity, they would have earned the physical fitness belt loop for one of the individual sports. If the scouts are up to date, they only need one more belt loop to finish the Sportsman.
The Pioneers started the Engineering section of the STEM awards. For homework, they have to watch a video on lego machines and read about gears, cranks, and cams.
A quick reminder: Next week is our first pack meeting. Scouts will receive everything they earned up until November 1st. Sportsman, Forrester, and Naturalist will not be awarded until the next pack meeting.
