Upcoming Pack Information

Hello PACK 164!!!

I first want to let everyone know that I have started a new job and with that I will be working every other Monday for a few weeks. I am hoping this is temporary...but Ms.Sandra with the Boy Scouts will be helping out on the Mondays I will not be available. I will make sure all upcoming info will be available online as well as at the meetings.

First is the Chap District Bowling Tournament. All cub scouts can participate. Due to time and number of scouts....siblings WILL NOT be able to bowl. Tigers and Wolves will be allowed to use the bumper guards but Bears and Webelos will not. Trophies will be awarded to top bowlers in each rank. Cost is $9 per scout. Each participant will receive a patch regardless if you place or not. Attendance is not required for this event but if you are interested in your scout participating....I will collect your money and send in your info. The tournament is Jan 18th @ Tangi Lanes in Hammond..(across from Big Lots). Registration begins 7-730am. It will last until all scouts bowl 2 games.


Also on Jan. 18th is....

Pinewood Derby Workshop
at the Baton Rouge Scout Shop

 

Join us on Saturday, January 18, 2014  for a fun-filled workshop on Pinewood Derby Racing.  This all-day event will feature a practice track set up in the store, tool demos and a scale available for car weigh-ins.   Get your car fine tuned for your Pack or District race at this one day Pinewood Derby Champ Camp. This is a family event....and attendance is not required...only helpful for those who are new to the Pinewood Derby Races.

Next we have University of Scouting. This is the old 'Leader's Fest'...it just got a new name. This is a leaders only event...no scouts. Its an event to broaden your knowledge on all things scouting. They have 'classes' on leader specific training, cooking outdoors, pinewood derby...and anything else you can imagine. The cost is $15 and you select whatever classes you would like to attend to fill your day. The price is for all day.....and includes lunch. If you are interested in attending or getting more info...please see me or Mrs. Sandra. I hope to have papers at meeting but I am waiting on copies myself...so I might have to email to you. Event is on Jan 25th at Broadmoor High School in Baton Rouge...the deadline is Jan 15th or there is a $10 late fee.


We are once again approaching recharter. All those who wish to have their scouts continue with the Pack will need to recharter (register) again for the new year. I will start collecting money next month. The deadline is March 31st...but this is my deadline to get it all turned in too...and we have several holidays approaching which means our meetings will be few too...so please get with me or Sandra as soon as you can to pay your registration fee. Registration Fee for the 2014-2015 year is $25. It is a little of an increase but this has been the first increase in several years. If you choose not to register your son at this time....or if you would like to wait till August...you will have to fill out a new application. If you want your son to attend Day Camp they must recharter.  If you register by the deadline you only need to pay your registration fee....your application is already on file. If you have any questions....please just let me know....and again...I wont start collecting money till next month...but I wanted to let everyone know in advance what to expect.

...Spring is a very busy time for scouting....so please check back often or text me if you miss a meeting and need to know what was announced!!

Thanks everyone...and I will see yall soon....:)
