Hello Bear Family! Our traditional Christmas service event is to fill a big basket with treats, supplies, etc. and deliver the baskets to our first responders at the Whitehouse Fire station and Police Station.  I have two laundry baskets ready to stuff with bright holiday tissue and ALLLL the treats.  As you are shopping for your family over the weekend, keep in mind we are filling 2 baskets and think about snacks or other items that our first responders might be glad to have especially when they are working late and all stores are closed!! Items to consider – Lip Balm (Chapstick, Burt’s Bees), black ink pens ( officers I know at TJC say they are always running out of these), small spiral-bound note pads,…

Hey Arrows! Tonight we are going to get started on the Scouting Adventure Pin. This will roll into next week’s Campout with Troop 359. Scouts and Parents are encouraged to attend. Girls are welcome for the day, and the boys will camp overnight with the Troop. Arrows (and parents) will eat Lunch with the Troop/Patrol and are welcome to stay for dinner and campfire as well. Just need a headcount to ensure we have enough food and to split them into the Patrols evenly enough. Saturday activities include Knots and Lashings to build catapults. HOMEWORK Don’t forget, 2 requirements must be done at home. Duty to God in Action and the Cyber Chip must both be completed at home. See everyone tonight 🙂

Howdy Webelos, We have a bug running in this house that we will keep at home. That said there are adventures to be worked on at home. Duty to God and You: Follow the worksheet, http://usscouts.org/advance/cubscout/workbooks/Webelos/Duty-to-God-and-You.pdf Stronger, Higher, Faster: Many of you haven’t completed one part. Please work on requirement 3. Make an exercise plan that includes at least three physical activities. Carry out your plan for 30 days, and write down your progress each week. There is an opportunity coming up to learn about Scout BSA in action. We will attend a day event with Troop 359. Once I have more information I will send it out. Regards, Kathy
