Cub Scout Pack 113
Updated on Nov 13th, 2008.
Pack 113 meeting summary December 05-08
The Freewill cafetorium vibrated with the energy of Cub Scout Pack 113 scouts, their families and friends On Friday evening, December 5, 2008. Cub Master Kevin Barci’s “signs up” brought everyone to attention as Den 6 presented our colors, led the Pledge of Allegiance and the Cub Scout Promise.
Cub Master Barci guided the scouts to reveal the meaning of Thanksgiving, diversity, tolerance, being part of a community, and how we can serve others within our community.
Up-coming events:
`Saturday, Dec 20-2008 Pack 113 will ring the Salvation Army bell outside the Tops in Panorama Plaza. A schedule was noted, but if you need to switch with another Den, that’s okay. Be sure to bring words to traditional Christmas Carols.
`Information about the Scout Ski Night at Bristol Mountain was available: $30 per person which includes rentals and lifts. Deadline for sign up is Dec. 15th.
`Pinewood Derby cars were distributed to the Den Leaders, to be passed out at their next Den meeting. The Derby is in February in the Middle School. More details later, but be sure to note the new rules for assembling the cars. Sponsor sheets had been e-mailed to everyone, but hard copies were available. Sponsors will received a Certificate of Appreciation.
`The Blue and Gold Banquet will be in March and some Dens have already begun planning for it.
`There are a variety of volunteer positions to enable everyone to join in our Pack Planning and Fun. Remember, some of our key people will be crossing over into Boy Scouts this Spring.
It is always amazing to listen to the boys report the activities they have done in their Den. To name a few: a visit by former Pack 113 Cub Master Mr. Joe Pasquini who talked about scouting long ago and A. T. Shorey’s Short Cuts in the Adirondack Mountains, learning the action song “Lord Baden Powell, Ready-man First Aid, and Webelos who earned the Communications pin. We are especially proud of our Tigers, who have earned their Bobcat Rank.
Who wears a suit of red? Who has a beard of snowy white? Must be Santa! And it was. The jolly fellow came strolling in with a pack over his back. He queried the boys about who was naughty or nice, explained why the reindeer couldn't come inside, sat for a group photo with all the scouts, and handed out candy canes. Yes, Yes, Mrs. Chamberlin got a hug from Santa and he even remembered not to pet her working guide dog.
The scouts feasted on the candy canes, popcorn, cookies and bug juice as they enjoyed “Sponge Bob’s Christmas” DVD. The parents also enjoyed refreshments as they signed up for Bristol Skiing and other activities, checked the bell ringing schedule, and discussed the techniques for creating the best Pinewood Derby ever.
Thank you Pack 113 Leadership and parents for helping to guide our boys toward being men who are trustworthy,loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent.
