A Fun Night at Vala's

Thanks to everyone who attended the Pack 359 event at Vala's last night. I think everyone had a great time on a cool, autumn night. It was nice to see so many scouts and families: 25 of our 35 scouts were able to join us!
Vala's patches will be handed out at the November pack meeting to scouts who attended.

Thanks again!

Family Fun Festival

Wolves, Bears, and Webelos are expected to work at the booth for 1-2 hrs. Tigers are not required, but are encouraged to come with a parent and help out with the fun. Please have your scout wear their uniform. Adult volunteers are also required, since we need 2 scouts + 1 adult at each booth.

Our booths should be located in the parking lot near the corner of 84th and Cornhusker (near the dunk tank). Also, make sure you give yourself extra time to park, since the festival can get very crowded.

Please remember that St. Columbkille allows our pack to meet in the church building; this is our time to support their efforts!

Please join us for the first pack meeting of the year, on Tuesday, August 26th at 7 p.m. in the St. Columbkille Social Level. The highlight of the meeting: Amazing Arthur the magician will be there to entertain you! Plus, the kids can enjoy ice cream sundaes. This meeting is all fun and no boring information (just to ease you back into the swing of the school year).
As always, families are encouraged to attend. This is also our Open House; scouts are welcome to bring friends interested in joining our pack.

This year's pack schedule is now online in the calendar found on www.cubpack359.com. Check it out! One major change this year: the pack pinewood derby has been moved from January to March to avoid building cars over the holidays.

FYI: the Bear scouts (3rd graders) are responsible for covering the August 24th Knights of Columbus pancake breakfast. Your den leaders will be contacting you soon for help with this event...

Lost & Found

There were 2 items left at the Papio Pool after the Pack swim party in July: an MTV Beach towel and a red baseball t-shirt. If you are missing one of these items, please contact Rick Denne. Thank you.

Popcorn Kernel Wanted

We need your help! My wife and I have discussed this and have decided that we have too much on our plate for either of us to be Popcorn Kernel (PK, the person in charge of our annual popcorn sale) this year. So, I am asking for someone to step forward...

There is a popcorn kickoff meeting on Aug 21, but sales do not begin until September (pre orders due 9/10, etc.). The sale lasts for about a month. This job entails managing our inventory, getting more popcorn if we run out, holding the money, and briefing the scouts.

Since John Guhl was the PK last year, I'm sure he can give guidance. And I (and other leaders) will help as much as possible, we just need someone to take the helm. Also, a couple of people could share this responsibility.

Please consider helping because this is extremely important to our Pack. Click here to email me if you can help...

Thanks,
Rick Denne

Please Volunteer for Shepherds Fireworks Sales

The St. Columbkille Shepherds organization, which supports our pinewood derby and religious emblems program, has asked for volunteers to help sell fireworks.

Adults: anyone familiar with running a cash register is highly desired. Please email Rick Denne to volunteer for this position.

Scouts (with adult escort) can volunteer to work anytime from June 25 - July 2, 9am-10pm. (The Shepherds recommended not having scouts help the last couple of days due to the hectic pace.) The scouts can help stock shelves or bag fireworks for customers.

Since the Shepherds did not provide a schedule with available slots, the scouts are free to go anytime they choose. I ask that you let me know when you plan on going so that I can let the Shepherds know as well. Please email Rick Denne with your desired work time(s).

Important: scouts should not wear uniforms when volunteering with the Shepherds.

Please try to find some time to help out the Shepherds, since they contribute their money to our Pack each year; money which comes from this fireworks sale!

Thanks...

From the MAC website:
The life changing events at Little Sioux last night cause us to reflect on how precious life is and we can strive to teach and protect our children, but bad things still happen.

I also understand that there is overflow parking on the North side of Maple. Hope to see you at 5:30pm mass and/or the memorial service...

Little Sioux Tragedy - Please come to 5:30pm Mass

Due to the tragedy at Little Sioux, I would encourage you and your scout(s) to attend the 5:30pm mass today (Jun 12). Please wear uniforms if you can and join us as we pray for the scouts and their families. Thanks...

Prayers for the Scouts at Little Sioux

I would ask that everyone in Pack 359 take a moment to say a prayer for the Boy Scouts and adult leaders who were at Little Sioux when the tornado hit tonight, as well as their families. While we were somewhat lucky in the metro area, they endured a horrific storm. Let's hope it's the last time we have to hear about something like this...

Dues Payments

Due to a mistake on my part, scout dues were not deposited last fall when they should have been. I am notifying you now that payments will be deposited shortly. Since most dues were $25 I don't think this will cause anyone's account to be inadvertently overdrafted, but I wanted to alert everyone just in case.

Sorry for the confusion...

IMPORTANT Pinewood Derby Info

The Derby is almost here!

(at the Social Level)
Friday Weigh-in 6:30pm - 7:30pm
Sunday Weigh-in 12:30pm - 1:30pm
Sunday Pack Meeting/Pinewood Derby 2pm

Notes:

  • After weigh-in, cars must stay in the Social Level
  • Snacks will be provided during the races
  • Scouts will race within each group (e.g. Tigers vs Tigers)
  • Each scout will race 4 times (once on each of the 4 tracks)
  • After the scouts are done, there will be an open race for anyone to enter (adults included)
  • Do not put a number sticker on your car - the leaders will number the cars
  • Weights, graphite, and tools will be available at the weigh-ins to help gain or lose weight (to stay under 5 oz)
Remember what's important about the Derby!
1. Working together - the scout and adult should build the car together (as much as possible, especially for the younger scouts). It's about learning, not perfection :O)
2. Learning about tools - the scout should learn something about the tools and materials used
3. ! Sportsmanship ! - the scout needs to be a good sport whether he wins or loses. Please prepare your scout for the races by stressing this point. We just want everyone to have fun :O)

See you at the Derby!

REMINDER: Religious Emblem Interviews on Jan 26

Believe It or Not - Overnight at Museum Canceled

I just receieved an email from the Strategic Air & Space Museum that our overnight has been canceled. (great timing, right? just after i send out the info to the Pack!)

I will work with the Museum to try to reschedule for a different date and then will present it to the Pack.

Again, sorry for the change in plans...
