Meeting tonight at 6:30 in Discovery Room

Hey Lions, Tonight we will meet at 6:30 at Whitehouse Methodist Church in the Discovery Room attached to Pike Hall. We’ll continue to work on their Animal Kingdom adventure. Our special guest, Angela Hartless, will talk with our Lions about how she served our community. There are now 5 lions! A warm welcome to our new scouts, and we can’t wait to see you tonight! Some of our den parents choose to put together a snack sign-up sheet for their dens and alternate bringing snacks and drinks for the kids for the end of the meeting. If someone would like to put that together you are more than welcome to, it is completely up to the parents.

Carnival Games Meeting

Hello Bear Families! Would you guys like some time to work together with you partners to put your carnival game together? How about next Tuesday at 6:30? We’ve decided to make our next meeting a casual meeting where you can get with your partners to build your games! The Bear Carnival will happen after our first Pack meeting on MONDAY, October 30th in Friendship Hall. Thanks!! Lacey

Meeting tonight

Hello Bear Families! Our meeting tonight is at 6:30 in Conner Hall at the Church. For the bear carnival- each family will need to pair with another family to come up with a carnival game. After you find your partner family, you’ll have time tonight to talk about the game you want to create. We will also start working on the Bear Claws! We have a special guest, Austin Russel Knife Enthusiast, who will teach the kids about knife safety, knife sharpening and the different kinds of knives. We will break the group into two large groups so we’ll have plenty of time for both activities. Thanks and I’ll see you all tonight! Lacey  

Den Meeting tonight!

Hello Arrow families – hope you are enjoying the fall break! Tonight we will begin learning about PATROL LEADERSHIP – the way Scouting enables young leaders by allowing them to take the lead within groups of Scouts known as Patrols. Your Scout will surprise you with what they can do on their own – just like this summer at Webelos camp, when every single scout who attended was able to get themselves dressed in full Class A uniform for flag service each morning (even though some can’t get this all together for Pack Meetings at home, LOL.)  We received several compliments on how our Arrows/Webelos were self-sufficient – they are growing up! I know, it seems like just yesterday that they were Tigers or Wolves…

Lions meeting today 10/16

Today Lions will be meeting in Pike Hall at 6:30. This is the larger room on the side of the church that is normally occupied by our Tigers. We will be starting our King of the Jungle Adventure – our Lions will learn what it means to be a good citizen, to be a leader, and will learn about and participate in a flag ceremony. We will finish the Animal Kingdom adventure next week with an emergency preparedness game and a special guest! For those just starting with us, we will review the Cub Scout sign, motto, and salute. You will need to complete a family service project with your scout – this can be something as simple as helping a neighbor rake leaves, picking…
