THE CUB SCOUT SHOUT!

PACK 3065       Baldwin City, Kansas          January 2010

 

FEBRUARY THEME "HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BSA"

 

It's time to celebrate with a big birthday bash, the Boy Scouts of America
is 100 years old this year. Learn the history of how Scouting came to the
United State. Find out about those who have given us this great Scouting
legacy, such as Daniel Carter Beard, Jams E. West, Ernest Thompson Seton,
Waite Phillips and W.D, Boyce. Lets play birthday games, make party
decorations and have birthday cake for our blue and gold banquet.

 

The February Pack meeting is the Blue and Gold Banquet on Saturday, February
13 at 6:00 p.m. at the BESIC.  We will celebrate a birthday.

 

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 this Saturday,
January 30 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. Bring your cars ready to race.

 

Parents, siblings and leaders also have 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.

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.

Pack Family Camping (Graduation Weekend) May 7-9,  Spring Lake Park, Baldwin
Pack overnighters are pack-organized overnight camping activities involving
more than one family from the pack, with the program focused on
age-appropriate Cub Scout activities and conducted at a Council Approved
Pack Camping Location. If nonmembers (siblings) participate, the program is
structured to accommodate them. 
This type of activity may well be the first time a Cub Scout and his family
has to experience the fun and excitement of camping in the outdoors. Careful
program planning and adherence to the BSA's health and safety policies found
in the Guide to Safe Scouting and Youth Protection guidelines assures a
positive experience for the pack, the Cub Scout and his family.
To begin with, each youth member must be under the supervision of a parent
or guardian and, in all cases, each youth participant is responsible to a
specific adult who is on the overnight. Adults giving leadership to a pack
overnighter must complete Basic Adult Leader Outdoor Orientation (BALOO
Training), and be present on the campout as well.  BALOO trains participants
to properly understand the importance of program intent, Youth Protection
guidelines, health and safety, site selection, age-appropriate activities,
and sufficient adult participation.  BALOO is offered in Lawrence on April,
just in time for the Graduation Weekend.
