Mahoney Ice Skating Sun Jan 30

Hey Cubs!

We'll meet at the Mahoney craft center (ask at the entry booth for directions) at 2pm. The craft center closes at 4pm. We'll then meet at the activity center for ice skating at 3:30pm. We'll start with a safety discussion and then skate. Scouts can earn their ice skating belt loop by attending.

Remember:
1. The ice rink is a covered, but outside rink. Please dress accordingly. The rink is adjacent to the indoor activity center though, so warming up is easy.

2. If you don't know where the craft center is, just ask at the park entrance booth - they'll tell you the directions.

3. If driving conditions or the condition of the ice rink isn't satisfactory then we will cancel via email. Check your email before you leave for Mahoney!

4. Of course parents should skate with their scout, if necessary.

5. Here is the google map to Mahoney, if you are not familiar:

Winter Lock-in on 1/14 (Friday)

Join us for the Winter Lock-in on Friday, January 14th at 7:00 pm in the Social Level. Families are invited for the Pack Meeting and a movie with treats. Scouts (and adults) are invited to stay the night. (We are skipping the pizza this year to save some money, so please eat dinner before arriving. Thank you for your understanding.)

Agenda:

• 7pm Pack meeting (awards, etc)
• 7:30pm Scout activity
• 8pm Movie (with popcorn)
• 10pm Lights out
• 7am Donuts
  
• 8am Leave for home
  

Things to bring if you are staying overnight:

• sleeping bag
• air mattress or pad, something to sleep on
  
• pajamas
• toothbrush/toothpaste
• pillow
• flashlight
• earplugs (snoring defense for adults)

Since this is an overnight event, Class A uniforms (blues and neckerchief) are not necessary – the yellow pack t-shirts are fine for the Lock-in on Friday. Also, a parent must stay with their scout if they are sleeping in the Social Level.

Again, only scouts can stay overnight, not their siblings, so that our group doesn't get unmanageable :O) Thanks for your understanding...
