Field trip this Thursday

Reminder! 
We have our Forester program coming up on Thursday of this week (see the details below).  The folks at Spring Valley have said it works out best as a drop-off program.  We will, of course, still have 2 leaders in attendance in addition to the Spring Valley staff to keep an eye on everyone.   As the program will be outside, please have your child dress appropriately for the weather.  Based on RSVPs, it looks like the event will be $9-10ea.  Please bring cash for Diane as she's already paid the flat fee. If you have not yet RSVP'd and would still like your child to attend, please let Diane know - there is still room. 

Finally, if you have not already RSVPd for the Nov 13th Geologist event, please contact Diane. This looks like a very cool, hands-on event!  We appreciate your prompt RSVPs to all events as it takes quite a bit of time to research and arrange the activities to fit the needs of our Webelos.  When our den does not respond (yes or no), this is a big waste of our time and very discouraging.  If a different method of communication is needed, please let us know.

Raingutter Regatta Rules & Info

Join us for the Pack 37 "America's Cup" on Friday, Nov. 8th

Registration: 6:45pm, Events: 7:00pm

Registration begins at 6:45pm - we would like to start the events promptly at 7pm as usual.  If you are able to arrive early to help set up it would be greatly appreciated.  Please note, the theme just serves as a guide on how to decorate your boat but not a requirement.  

Rules

1. Reshaping of the sail will be allowed (cup shaped design) and the scout is not required to use the mast.
2. You are not required to use the rudder and the keel 
3. Re-designing the hull will be allowed as long as the hull is not made longer or wider.
4. Catamaran styles are not allowed.   

Hints

• There are materials available to decorate your boat available at the Scout store, hobby stores and the ACE hardware store in Palatine on NW Hwy.

• In the event of a catastrophic design flaw, the boat style we use is being discontinued, but there may be a few available at the above mentioned store or if you call Mrs. Bertermann.
