REMINDER: Bridgeover and Info night is this Friday!!

Pack Meeting - Friday (5/29) at 6:30pm - St. Peter
    • New Scout Information Night - please be willing to lend a hand!
      • Pizza
      • Camping Expo
      • Pinewood Derby racing
      • Rain-gutter Regatta racing
      • Raffle & Prizes
    • Bridgeover Ceremony
      • Scouts will receive their Rank patches and other awards they earned since the Blue & Gold.
      • The younger scouts will Bridgeover to the next Rank in their Scouting adventure!! 
Remember, there are units within our rank that you will need to work on at home and notify Sharon when they are complete.    Also, if your child has missed a den activity that is required for the Webelos badge, please complete it at home and notify Sharon.  I'm sure a lot of the items are complete, but without you letting us know, we can't mark it complete and award your child their patches and pins. 

We have a few activities where we will need parent participation.  Our last meeting where Mr. Werber and Mr. Marzigliano led the activity was EXCELLENT.  We'll need more parents to help out in the next few months to get their ranks completed and have some great activities! Take a look at the book and let us know what you can do to help.  We will have a parent meeting over the summer, likely, to plan out the last few months.

Upcoming events - January

Happy New Year!

We look forward to seeing you and getting a big chunk of your Webelos activities completed together!

In December, in addition to the Toys for Tots and caroling service activities, we completed the Readyman Activity Badge and Artist Activity Badge.  Only two boys attended the Readyman event. Please make arrangements for your child to do these on his own as we will not specifically plan extra activities to meet the needs of those who missed.  The NWSBC will offer the Readyman badge again next year or you can talk to Sharon & Diane about a different activity from the book that will meet the Webelos requirements. 

Our next den meeting will be January 9 at 7pm in the MAC Gym for Sports Night!!  We will start the meeting with a flag ceremony and the boys will have an opportunity to play a number of organized games (and earn a pin/beltloop!) with the pack and their families!! Please have your scout wear his cub scout tshirt.  If you need a new one or backup, please contact Kevin Ramirez to purchase. 

In preparation for our January 15 meeting, please print and complete the Fitness Activity log for Requirements #3 & #4 and review the safety notebook (pullout booklet at the front of the Webelos Handbook) for requirement #1.  Our January 15 meeting will be at Mariano's at Northwest Highway and Dryden in Arlington Heights from 6:00-7:30pm.   Please have your scout wear his Cub Scout Uniform and bring along his completed Fitness Activity logs. 

If your child will not be attending the event at Mariano's, please let Diane know ASAP.  It is not fair for Mariano's to commit an employee to spend time with us if we have low attendance.   

Kindly review the upcoming February events.  Again, if you cannot attend, please let us know ASAP.  We will be pre-registering the kids for the Pinewood Derby so that there is not such a long wait on Saturday morning.  Also, the people at Mike's Bike's have committed time and resources to us on 2/12 - please let Diane know ASAP if you will or will not be able to attend. 

See you next Friday!
