Popcorn Reminder

Thu, 30 Oct 2008 15:53:05 -0400

Reminder: Popcorn forms are due to den leaders today. Please deliver your den’s forms to me by Saturday. If I’m not at home, please leave them in the mailbox. Please make sure your scouts have selected their prizes. Anyone who does not select a prize will be assigned scout bucks from the Scout Store.

I have to place the Pack’s order on Monday so the deadline dates are very important so I have time to consolidate the order.

Thanks!

Mike

It is with great pleasure that I announce that Marty Miller is going to be our Advancement Chairman. He will be working with Doug Zink in the transition. Marty and Lance Miller are in Matt Mays' Den 3 and are very active in the Pack. Please help me welcome Marty to the Pack Committee.

I would also like to announce that Mike Restle has agreed to be the Den Leader for Tiger Den A. We know that Mike will do a great job and Mike feel free to call upon the committee for any assistance.

2008-09 Dues Reminder

Mon, 27 Oct 2008 17:00:24 -0400

Reminder that we are collecting dues from the boys that will be in Pack 867 next calendar year. Dues should be paid during early November so Mike Cheney can get everything done before they are due to the District.

The annual renewal is $40 which includes BSA dues, Boy Scout magazine, insurance and about $15 to the Pack. The annual renewal does not include another shirt or book.

Webelos II are graduating to Boy Scouts in February so we give them a break on the Pack dues. The BSA dues, magazine, and insurance transfer with the boy to the troop.

Popcorn Sale Info

Sat, 25 Oct 2008 08:09:59 -0400

We are now in the final week of popcorn sales. From what I’ve heard, the sales this year are going well. Please make sure you use this weekend as a final opportunity to get those last few sales to achieve the goal your scout set. Please turn in your order forms to your den leader by Thursday, October 30. What happens next?

Our pack’s popcorn order will ship in mid-November and be available for den leaders to pick-up at my house on Sunday, November 23. They will then distribute to their dens (along with a copy of the scouts order form). Scouts are asked to use the period of November 23 to December 13 to deliver popcorn and collect money. Money and order forms are due back to den leaders by December 13. All checks should be made payable to Pack 867. Regarding cash, you can choose to turn in cash or write one check encompassing the cash if you prefer.

Prizes will be distributed during our senior center visits in December. Please make sure that your scout notes on his form what prize he wants. Remember that a scout can select more than one prize if at a sufficient level of sales to accommodate it (e.g. $600 in sales, a scout could select one prize at level 6 or one prize at levels 5 and 3). Following is the link to the prize options. http://www.danbeard.org/finance/linked/Prize_Sheets.pdf

Finally, remember that each scout that fills up an order form gets a ticket into our pack’s drawing for a $200 Game Stop gift certificate and gets a free ticket to CoCo Key Waterpark for Scout Days in February.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Best wishes.

Mike Cheney

April 29 Den Meeting - Mad Science "Fire and Ice"

Sat, 05 Apr 2008 08:19:37 -0400

"Fire and Ice": Children will be dazzled by the impressive science demonstrations in this spectacular show! From principles of fiery combustion to foggy dry ice storms and a Mad Science burp-flavored potion, audiences will be amazed by what they see, hear, and ugh...taste! Children will also learn that Science & Safety go hand in hand. Ever hear a hammer sizzle or see coins shiver? Did you know you need a triangle to create
fire?

Here's your chance to hear, see and feel the science!"

What is this Site? Why?

Thu, 20 Mar 2008 12:50:54 -0400

In late 2007, Pack 867, Den 2 agreed to create a website to share pictures, update information, and promote something in which we believe - Cub Scouting and Scouting.

www.cintiscout.com was available as a domain, so this is our initial work.

We're now trying to make it a resource for the whole pack - it is a work in progress, but there might still be some gems for you here.

If you have any questions or comments, feel free to use the links at right to contact us via email. We're also listed in the Wilson phonebook.

We also completed Elective 3, part a and b, and Elective 4, part a, b, and c with the ring toss, marble shoot, and washer toss.
