Greetings

Howdy Pack 359, I hope this email finds you well and healthy.  By now I’m sure you know that events for the foreseeable future have been put on hold, this means Blue and Gold as well as AOL Crossover, camping, and all other events we had planned.  We will resume regular scouting activities when it is safe for all families involved but for now just focus on staying healthy.  If your scout wishes to work on electives or advancements please continue but do not feel obligated to.   We are working on a special project so please keep an eye out on the website and Facebook page.  If you need anything please do not hesitate to let us know. Yours in Scouting, Somer Bockover, Cubmaster

Pack on hold for 2 weeks

Howdy Wolves, Our pack and district have put all activities on hold for the next two weeks. This means district pinewood derby isn’t happening March 21. If a new date is set I will let you know. Look at the electives in the back of your books and have fun making paper airplanes or building boats! Stay active but follow the scout law and be clean. Wash you hands. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to reach out. Yours in Scouting, Kathy

Meeting and District PWD info

Howdy Pack 359, Due to the recent events and outbreak of COVID-19 the East Texas Area Council has decided to suspend all district and council events for the next 2 weeks.  This impacts district Pinewood Derby originally set to take place March 21st.  The hope is that these events will be rescheduled for a later date but that yet to be determined. In an abundance of caution and to protect our scouts and families Pack 359 will be cancelling all meetings for the next 2 weeks.  Please work on any needed advancements at home and communicate with your den leader.  We will be in contact with any further information.

Meeting update and District Pinewood Derby has been Postponed….

Hi Tiger Team!!  We had a great time at Arkansas Bend, and I saw a lot of fun goings-on with you guys and your families over spring break as well! With all the craziness over the COVID-19 flu virus and because we are coming off a camping weekend, we will NOT meet this coming Monday, March 16th.  The Pack is going to send out more information shortly – I know TJC and UT Tyler cancelled classes for the next week and are going online for at least a week after that just to be on the safe side… We hope this all “blows over” quickly!! Stay healthy and wash you hands!!! Other Updates – District Pinewood Derby has been postponed – they hope to hold…

Remember – We are learning about and cracking open some GEODES tonight in the back Fellowship Hall

Hi Tiger Team!! Just a quick reminder – we will be on the floor tonight cracking our geodes! Bring a hammer, flat head screwdriver and/or chisel (bring several if you have them) and towels.  I have a geode for each scout to crack – you provide the labor! LOL See everyone tonight!!!

Meeting

Lions will be meeting tomorrow and working on an elective! If you have not done so already I need everyone to complete the Protect Yourself requirement with your scout. You can use this video https://www.scouting.org/programs/cub-scouts/preview-adventures/protect-yourself-rules/ or there is a pamphlet! I suggest you view the video first and use your own judgement as to what you think your child needs to know about! We need to have this completed by the March Pack Meeting so that all have reached their Lion rank. When this is completed let me know and I can mark it done for them or you can enter it into scoutbook! Thanks so much for all you do! See you all tomorrow!

REMINDER – NO Den Meeting Monday, February 24th – we had a busy, busy Saturday with Pinewood Derby!!!

Hello Tiger Team!!  Just a reminder that they announced that there would be no den meetings on Monday at Pinewood Derby on Saturday – since not everyone was able to attend, I wanted to be sure to spread the word!
