Mr. Harris will be providing den leaders with the list of scouts who were provided tickets to sell. The parents are responsible for submitting the money or the unsold tickets. The scout shop knows how many we were issued and they want them back if unsold for accountability reasons.

Den leaders please remind your scouts and parents that we need to have this done by the 30th which means you will need to collect on the 23rd and 30th meetings.

Don’t forget, we will hand out COLD, HARD CASH at the May 7th meeting!!

$2 for every card sold by each scout!

That’s big money for some of these guys who have worked hard.

BUT, we MUST have all cards or payment for cards tuned in on the 23^rd and 30^th.

Many days have passed since we last spent a weekend at Camp McNeill Cub Scout World! Load your pack and prepare with
us as we embark on a journey of Wilderness Survival! Cub Scouts will learn the basic skills they need to survive on their own in the
wilderness while having a great experience at Camp McNeill!
Each weekend will feature a series of activities, projects, and instruction designed to be fun and educational.

Pinewood Derby race

Registration and testing will start at 11AM on Saturday February 11th.  The track will be set up in the church gym.  During this time you are encouraged to run the car and make modifications to the car.  But do not leave with the car.  All cars will be impounded until the race on Sunday

If you need to add graphite to your car on Saturday please do it outside of the gym, it makes a big mess.

Registration and testing closes at 3PM.  All cars must be checked in before registration closes on Saturday afternoon. 

Cubmaster Jason Harris is offering to cut out pinewood derby cars at his house in the weeks to come. Please contact him via e-mail: Jason.Harris@email.com.
