Howdy, Last night was fun. I’m super glad parents came up with fundraising ideas (call your spirit night locations) and the scouts got really far with knot tying and lashing. Things you should be doing: This Saturday is the Christmas Caroling. Look for information from the pack for details. Work on your Duty to God. Electives: You can work on these at home. Have fun with it. We ARE meeting next Monday to finish knots and lashings Save the date: Jan 21. Troop 356 has invited our group to Tyler State Park for a day of fun activity and camping that night. Parents are invited to stay and ask questions about the troop and learn more about the next phase in scouting. It is also…

Howdy, Our last den meeting of 2022 is tonight. Bring paracord. We will be working on knots! Also, parents we will discuss fundraiser ideas. We are cancelling PNO. I will explain why at the meeting. Regards, Kathy

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas! It’s a Den 4 tradition to pack a “Merry Christmas” basket for our police and fire first responders, so much so that an officer at the Whitehouse parade asked if the Scouts were going to be “dropping by” this holiday season!  And a BIG thank you to our wonderful Den 4 parents who support our Scouts in their service!!   THIS TUESDAY – December 13 – We will meet at the church at 7pm to pack baskets with treats, and then drive to the fire & police stations for delivery. Scouts should wear their scout T-shirts, Uniforms, and of course Santa Hats!! Parents and siblings are welcome. What types of treats?  Homemade treats are once again welcomed…

PACK Meeting Tonight!!  Please be in Class A Uniform!   Rachel will call the colors to begin the meeting. Gregory will call the colors to close the meeting.   Because we have a lot of Scouts in extracurricular activities in the Spring, I want to go ahead and meet Tuesday at 6:30 to start work on our first aid achievement and discuss our Christmas service activity.   Thanks to Matthew, Rachel, Cooper, Harrison, Madoc, and Evie for doing a GREAT job for the Whitehouse Christmas Parade!!!    

This Saturday is Christmas in the Park and the Whitehouse Christmas Parade. Below are details for each.   Christmas in the Park We will have a booth set up to sell flag subscriptions and will have an archery game for kids, as well as materials to make homemade cards to deliver to Prestige when we go Caroling on the 17th. This is a great opportunity to help fundraise for the Pack, especially if you’re not able to help deliver or pick up flags. It’s also a great opportunity for your scout to share their love of scouting with all the visitors in the park. Market hours are from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm, with set-up beginning at 7:00 am. We already have volunteers scheduled to…

Happy Monday-After-Thanksgiving Break – hope everyone had a great holiday!!! What a great time we had with our Cast Iron Chef achievement – did anyone make a box oven to cook over the holiday? TONIGHT – 7pm – WUMC  Whitehouse Mayor James Wansley will be our Guest Speaker to help both the Webelos and Arrows with our “Building a Better World” Achievement.  We will be meeting with him as Whitehouse Mayor to talk about what his job is as Mayor of Whitehouse, what your rights and duties are as a citizen, energy issues in our community (remember being without power a few years back?) and ways we Scouts can help our community!  We will also review our Flag etiquette and some history of the US…

Howdy, I hope everyone enjoyed their thanksgiving break. I know an evil fever virus was going around. Monday night wear your class A and be on time, as the mayor of Whitehouse is coming to talk with us. Prior to the meeting your scout should watch the local news and have a question for our mayor. Jack has done both! He informed me the news is boring. Tomorrows meeting is a requirement. Please do not miss. Kathy.

Howdy, I am still trying to thaw from Saturday night. I had a blast at family camp. I hope everyone that could attend also had a good time. We are meeting tonight. TONIGHT: preparing for a mayor visit.  Building a Better World R2, R3 Prepare for Whitehouse Mayor visit (discuss Building a Better World R4)

Hello Webelos! Tuesday night we are serving up some Cast Iron Chef creations!!! 1. Please bring your exercise sheets for our Fitness Achievement. 2. We will be learning how to do campfire cooking with cast iron/ dutch ovens.  The Den had a hard time selecting cobbler flavors so we will be dividing up into “cooking teams” to select and build two cobblers and learn how to use coals (already hot) to cook our cobblers to perfection. While our delicious cobblers bake, we’ll learn to use coal chimneys to get perfect coals for dutch ovens, box oven baking, and foil meal packs. *** NEEDED – 1 or 2 seasoned mid-size or small dutch ovens, with lids & lid hooks if possible *** I will have several…
