AOL parents we are not officially meeting this Monday, if any scout needs additional help I will be at the church at our regular time. I have not heard from anyone about “Duty to God in Action” or other requirements. Please let me know when your son has completed any requirement. Congratulatuions to all who participated in the Pinewood Derby. In all we had ten cars race.Finally we raised a little over $600.00 towards the boys awards. Thank you for all who participated. We would not have been as successful without your support. Thanks for all that you do, Den5 leader Bob Prince

I was SO PROUD of the LION Den for showing excellent sportsmanship and being so very patient while waiting to receive your medals Saturday. Your cars were awesome, ran fast, and you guys all looked outstanding in your Lion uniforms!!! Pack Meeting will be February 25th, I believe. See you then!! Keep practicing the SCOUT LAW – A Scout is Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful, Friendly, Courteous, Kind, Obedient, Cheerful, Thrifty, Brave, Clean, and Reverent!

Lions race first thing at 9am! Your cars look GREAT!!

Howdy LIONS!! We will be talking about the importance of following the rules AND will be going on a dinosaur fossil dig!! Be thinking about what dinosaur is your favorite. Pinewood Derby is this weekend – be sure you follow all the rules! You must check-in your completed car on Friday, 2/15, between 6-8pm at Pollard UMC. There will be a pit crew there to help with any last minute adjustments. Pinewood Derby is Saturday, 2/16, starting at 9 AM at Pollard UMC in Tyler. We should be completed by lunch. The rules are strictly enforced. Wear your LION Uniform and neckerchief!!

Good afternoon, We had planned to sell flags tomorrow but due to rainy weather we will be meeting to finish up our Fur, Feather, and Ferns advancement. Since I had not planned on having a traditional meeting tomorrow we will not be working on Bear Claws (I haven’t ordered the wood yet). Wednesday we will help our pack put out Flags for President’s Day. Please meet at the church Wednesday at 5:30 to put out flags. It should take about an hour if we have enough help. Yours in Scouting, Somer

AOL parents, I will be having a meeting this Monday night at the church for any who want to know more about our plans for Cross Over and the fund raiser. Our main fundraiser will be on the day of the pinewood derby race (Feb 16th), volunteers are needed to help man and supply the concession stand from gift cards that we have received. The importance of the fund raiser is too raise as much as we can to help off set the costs of the awards and the venue. I look forward to seeing everyone. Bob Prince
