NO meeting on March 25th

Howdy LIONS!! We won’t be meeting Monday, but I need every LION/LION Family to do a few things this week: 1. IN your LION book materials, you have a booklet “How to Protect Your Children From Child Abuse: A Parent’s Guide” Parents please review this and have a discussion with your Cub Scout. It’s a scary world we live in, but less so if our children are prepared. 2. Boys – Do a GOOD TURN this week and make a note of what you did to share with the den. Practice tying your shoelaces and the 12 points of the Scout Law (you guys are doing great with this!) 3. We want to meet in the Whitehouse Park one evening for a Lion activity evening…

Cross Over Ceremony

AoL parents, Saturday March 23rd at 5:00 pm is our Cross Over Ceremony, please have the boys show up at 4:30 pm in their Class “A” uniform. We will start setting up around 2:00 pm at the Tasca Center (Front Building). We are providing cake, fruit trays, vegetable trays and meat trays at the reception afterwards. I would recommend the boys have dinner before showing up at the Tasca Center. Most troops usually take the boys camping for an overnighter after the ceremony. I know for a fact that Troop 356 is doing this. Have your scouts prepared. If you have any decorations specific for your son show up early and help set up. Any questions please contact me. Thanks, Den5 Leader Bob Prince
