Blue & Gold is TODAY!

Today is the day we’ve all been waiting for, our annual Blue & Gold Banquet and AOL Crossover! Our Committee has been hard at work getting together all the finishing touches. A huge thank you to our Blue & Gold Committee for their hard work!   Blue & Gold and AOL Crossover will be at First Baptist Church in Whitehouse (this is NOT our regular meeting place!).  If you ordered dinner for your family, it will be served at 5:00. If not, please arrive by 5:45 as the ceremony will begin at 6:00. Please bring a dessert to share with the Pack. We have several scouts with nut allergies, so desserts contains any nuts or nut products need to be labeled and will be on a separate table….

Blue and Gold

Hi Wolf Families! I hope you are getting excited about our Blue and Gold Dinner and Ceremony tomorrow. We have been working hard behind the scenes to make this a special event for our scouts and their families. If you ordered dinner, you may arrive at 5:00, if not, please come at 5:45. We hope you can be there! Also- don’t forget to bring a dessert to share if you are coming for dinner. Although I put den meetings in our schedule for a few more times before school is out, I am going to cancel those plans in leu of a little party at the Whitehouse park (time and date TBA- probably a Saturday mid-morning…) I can’t wait to see you all tomorrow evening!…

Flag Ceremony Practice Tonight!

Terrrrifffic Tigers!! Tonight is our final meeting before our Blue & Gold Ceremony this Saturday evening. If you have any remaining requirements to turn in, please bring your updates and final requirement turn-ins this evening. If your scout has not had enough time to finish the Tiger Rank, don’t worry. Scouts have until June 1st to finish their current rank and any optional electives they want to pursue. Our Den is responsible for the Flag Ceremonies at Blue and Gold. We will practice tonight in the Sanctuary. See you all tonight! Jason

Meeting at 6pm tomorrow at WUMC to work on our cement garden flagstones! BRING supplies (Listed below)

Attention Webelos ARTISTS!  We are meeting at 6pm under the pavillion at WUMC. Tuesday our weather forecast is for 75 degrees – perfect weather for the Scouts to craft their cement stepping stone. The mold can be reused, so your scout can craft additional stones as a summer activity.  This activity is one part of our ART EXPLOSION elective, which we will be working on over a couple of weeks. *IMPORTANT* bring the following supplies!! A bowl, large coffee can, or something to use for mixing the cement.  Bigger is better than smaller – it’s 2lbs of cement. It should wash clean. Sturdy spoon and maybe a spatula to stir the cement and get it into the mold. Should wash clean. Old towel Measuring cup…

Short meeting tonight to practice a skit

Hey sweet Wolf families! I can’t believe it’s almost time for the Blue and Gold and Arrow of Light Crossover Ceremony (this Saturday from 5 to 8). Our Cubs will receive their Wolf badge and all of the belt loops we’ve been working on! You can find more information about it here.  Tonight, we are going to learn a simple skit to share with everyone on Saturday night. Class B uniforms tonight. The planting at the church will have to be postponed. I wasn’t able to pick up the right kinds of flowers – but we’ll have the opportunity to do that later! Also- if you would like… Think of anything you would like to bring on Saturday night to display with our den pictures….

The Pack is ordering BRUNO’s Italian food for Blue & Gold. Please go to the pack website and reserve/pay by THIS FRIDAY 4/7!!

Hi Scout Families!!  Just a quick reminder: Den 4 has been busy earning Achievement and Elective pins that will be presented along with their Webelos rank at our Pack 359 Blue & Gold banquet and Pack Meeting on Saturday, April 15th. The Pack is picking up all the BRUNOS orders – you can order Spaghetti with red sauce or Chicken Alfredo. ALL the scouts/children are paid for but you’ll want to make sure to order their food and food for adults – the adult meals will cost $10 each. SO much easier that every Den running around to pick up food before the event! Plan to bring a yummy dessert to share – watch the nuts, several have peanut allergies!!!
