JANUARY THEME “POWER UP”
Boys explore the science of energy through solar,  electrical, and wind 
power and how this energy is used in everyday life. They  can explore different 
ways to conserve energy and protect the world we live in.  Work on the 
Science or Weather belt loop and pin. Boys can invite friends to  join in the 
pinewood derby and discover the power behind hose little carts. What  types of 
things are powered up by the flip of a switch? A field trip to the  local 
waterworks or power plant might be part of the den’s monthly plan. Finish  
the month with a real power packed pack meeting. They boys can power up by 
being  physically fit and working on the Physical Fitness belt loop and pin. 
The January Pack meeting is on Thursday, January 28 at  7:00 at the BESIC.  
It is sure  to be a “powerful” meeting. 

PINEWOOD DERBY 
It is time to power up those pinewood derby cars  that were handed out at 
the December Pack meeting. The pinewood derby will be  held Saturday, January 
16 at the BESIC. Registration and weigh in begins at 1:00  p.m. with racing 
beginning at 2:00 p.m. The Pinewood Derby is gearing up to put  on a 
wonderful race. The Derby Committee members are Jim Waltz, Dennis  Leslie,  Scott 
White and  Travis Wales. If you didn’t get a car because you weren’t at the 
Pack  meeting, contact Dennis Leslie. Dennis will also be holding some 
pinewood derby  workshops in his shop so you can make your car. Den leaders will 
be contacting  Dennis to set up a workshop for your den.  
The PWD committee also decided to allow parents,  siblings and leaders the 
opportunity to build and race cars. Additional cars can  be purchased for 
$5.  The rules  provided in the car instructions will govern all races. 
However, there will also  be an outlaw race for adults where there are no rules 
except the car can’t  impede any other car. This event is surely to be fun.  
Boys………START……..YOUR………ENGINES!! 

RANK ADVANCEMENT 
Congratulations to Jace Tener for earning his  Bobcat award. 

CHRISTMAS CAROLING 
Thank you to everyone who went caroling. We shared  the art of music. The 
Tigers also made ornaments for residents of the senior  citizen homes. A 
thank you also to Ladina Miller who made arrangements  for caroling. 

CHRISTMAS CARDS 
The Christmas cards made at the December pack  meeting will be given to 
Major Matt Twombly and Captain Terry Twombly to be sent  to soldiers serving 
our country. Your artwork and wishes are greatly  appreciated. 

SCOUT NIGHT AT BAKER  
The  annual Scout Night at the Baker Basketball game will be Thursday 
February  4th.  All Scouts in uniform get in free.  The women’s game  starts at 
5:30.  The men’s game starts at 7:30.  This is a great way  to earn your “
attend a game” requirement. 

SUMMER CAMPING 
It is time to start planning for summer camp. Both the Webelos and the  
Bears have camp draws in January. Den leaders will be meeting with the boys and 
 parents to select a 1st, 2nd and 3rd choices  for camp dates. Webelos Camp 
is for current Bears and 1st year  Webelos. Bear camp is for current 
Wolves. Day Camp will be June 7- June 11 and  is for all Cub Scouts. We do need a 
Pack Camp Coordinator who will work closely  with the dens to ensure all 
registration forms are turned in and everything is  ready for all those camping 
to have a great Cub Scout camping experience.  
RE-REGISTERING
It is time to register again for 2010. All returning Scouts, except those  
who joined for the first time this Fall, must re-register and pay their Pack 
 registration fee. The Pack registration fee for 2010 is $20. If boys also 
want  to receive the Boys Life magazine, the Registration fee is $32. 
Registration  sheets were handed out at the December Pack Meeting. Registration 
fees are due  December 28 to Pack Treasurer Lisa Hunkele. It generally costs 
the Pack  about $100 per boy per year for awards, patches, and Pack and Den 
supplies.  

COMMUNITY SERVICE 
Community service is one of the Scouting ideals. Each  scout should 
regularly perform community service. Caroling for our senior  residents can be 
considered a community service as is carrying the flag in the  Maple Leaf 
parade. The Pack as a whole should also perform community service  throughout the 
year. In order to help coordinate community service opportunities  for dens 
and the Pack, we are in need of a Community Service Coordinator. If you  
have a gift and passion for discovering opportunities for community service and 
 desire to spread that passion to young Scouts, please let Committee Chair  
David Simmons know. We need your  help! 

ASTRONOMY BELT LOOP  WORKSHOP 
If you attended the Astronomy Belt Loop Workshop and the  telescope viewing 
you may have earned the Astronomy Belt Loop. You will need to  let your den 
leader know if you have earned the belt loop. 

CLASS “B” UNIFORMS 
Class  B Uniforms are still available for $5 for boys and parents. This is 
an excellent  way to identify our boys when we go to events like the 
District Pinewood Derby,  Day Camp, Bear Camp and Webelos Camp. Be sure to pick 
yours up today.  If you didn’t make the Pack Meeting,  contact Jon Francis. 


PACK FUNDRAISERS 
Popcorn Sales – Thanks for all your help on the  popcorn sales. If you haven
’t turned in money yet, please do so ASAP.  
Wreath Sales – Cub Scouts sold a total of $2,659  of wreaths. Top Sellers 
were #1 Zach Waltz $297, #2 Darius Slavin  $279, and #3 Dakota Hancock $230. 
Thanks to all 21 boys who sold wreaths.  10% of gross sales go to Scout’s 
account for camping and other scouting  activities. 

DEN REPORTS 
Webelos II Den 3 Meetings for January will  be on the first, second and 
third Thursdays after school at the Wessling house.  We are working on our 
Arrow of Light requirements.  
Webelos I Den 8 We are finishing up our fitness  pin and citizenship pin.  
Bear Den 1  We continue to work on our Bear  badge. 
Bear Den 2  We continue to work towards our Bear  badge. Because of 
basketball practices we have temporarily changed our meeting  date to the 2nd and 
4th Mondays at the Waltz home.   
Wolf Den 5  We have changed our meeting date to  Tuesdays at the Scout 
Cabin.  The  Wolf den is closing in on our Wolf badge and should finish it early 
in  2010. 
Tiger Den 4 – The Tiger Cubs have been busy  this past month.  Some boys 
got their astronomy belt loops; almost all of  the boys got their flag 
football belt loop.  Flag football is a no contact  sport, but somehow we ended up 
with two of the boys getting hurt. Nothing  serious. Sterling and Henry both 
went after a boys flag and ended up colliding.  Sterling got a cut by his 
eye and had to leave to get it cleaned up and taken  care of, but he was soon 
back to finish playing our game.  We worked on  many of our Tiger Cub 
Requirements; which included a trip to the fire  department. We are getting 
closer to completing the badge! We should be  done the end of January! Then we 
start working on the 100 year badge!   We've started working on our 
citizenship belt loop and we will finish it up  before Christmas. One of our requiremen
ts for the belt loop is a service project  and we've decided to collect 
clothes and toys and food for people who need  it.  The boys made ornaments and 
cards to give to Vintage Park when we go  caroling. They were really neat! 
Jordan Shay and his adult partner,  Leslie Huffman are in charge of the 
December meetings and Jeffrey  Smrha-Monroe and his adult partner, John Monroe, 
will be in charge of  January's meetings. 

FULLY TRAINED LEADERS 
Congratulations to Jon Francis and Janelle  Johnston who attended Pelathe 
District’s Training Extravaganza on December  5. They were provided Webelos 
Den Leader Specific training and now are fully  trained and have earned their 
“Trained”  patch.

SCOUT’N ABOUT 
(Stories about Scouts by  Scouts) 
This section is for boys to write stories about their Scouting  experiences 
which they would like to share. It can be about something they did  during 
den meetings or Pack activities, including things like family camp, the  
Pinewood Derby, or earning belt loops. There should be an achievement in every  
rank so writing will help towards rank advancement.
