Vann Family to Welcome New Baby!

Hello Wolf Families, Our fellow Wolf, Guy Vann, is expecting a little baby brother on February 15th! If you feel so inclined, bring a gift or a note of congratulations for the family to our next Den Meeting (Monday, 2/20). I’ll leave a tote by the door where you can leave the gifts. Good luck with the races tomorrow! Unfortunately, our family has to be out of town for the day and won’t be able to race. See you soon! PS – some of you mentioned a frog stuffed animal or toy. Please bring it as a prop for our song to the Pack meeting on Monday if you’d like.

PWD and Flag Placement

Calling all Bears! Pinewood derby races are tomorrow!  Check-in is tonight!  Be sure to pre-register your car using the link sent in the Pack Communication. Tomorrow please be sure to wear your class A uniform to the races.  After all Dens have raced we need parents and scouts to stay behind and help us put out flags for President’s day (we have Prestige Estates this time 30 flags).  I know it is late notice and in the future we will be better about it but we really need all hands on deck.  If you absolutely cannot help tomorrow please be prepared to pick up flags the week/weekend after President’s Day. If you have any questions or need help with PWD please reach out.

Pinewood Derby Weigh-In TONIGHT!!!!

Hey Scout Families!   Are those cars done yet? T-minus 6 hours until weigh-in and drop off!!!   For first timers, tonight between 6pm – 8pm you will bring your completed cars to be weighed and checked in. We will have a pit area for any last-minute adjustments for cars that don’t meet requirements, need graphite powder, etc. After your car is weighed, you will not get your car back until after the races tomorrow morning. Cars will not be handled by anyone except for race officials.   If you have already registered your car online, anyone can bring your scout’s car to be dropped off (scouts do not need to be present). If you have not already, please register your car(s) ahead of weigh-in…

No Tiger Meeting Tonight

Hey Tigers! We are not going to meet tonight. My son’s final basketball game was moved from last week to tonight (Tyler schools had power issues). Please use this time to finish up your Pinewood Derby Cars! All Cars MUST be registered and checked in this Friday Night (Feb 10) from 6p-8p at the church. We race at 9:15 AM this Saturday, Feb 11. Please wear your Class A uniforms for race day. Sadly, I will not be at the races. I am leading training for other Scout Leaders at Camp Pirtle. Cody will be there, and I’m sure all of our scouts will love the races! Call or text me if you have any issues with your PWD Cars – (903) 530-9378

Hi, it’s me again! Scouts may wear their class B uniform (Scout T-Shirt) tonight. Also- I just volunteered our den to do a skit for next week’s pack meeting (you’re welcome;)). We’ll spend some time practicing for the skit this evening as well. Please remind your scout that we are working together, and it’s important to listen to instructions. 😉 Thank you parents! Lacey
