Yee Haw - Bike Rodeo

Great meeting! We showed off our bicycle skills, and rode around like the Wild Bunch. The best part, we're started to work on our Bear achievements. Congratulations to Alex, Avery and Christopher who finished their Wolf requirements, along with Grant who earned his fourth bead a few weeks ago.

Please show up 10 minutes early for tomorrow's Pack Meeting to get ready for the flag ceremony.

Our next Den meeting is Saturday April 4 - the first Saturday of Spring Break - at 1 p. for a tour of the Buford Fish Hatchery. It's about a 45 minute drive, according to Google. Bring fishing rods if you like. This will be a good trip for boys who want to rack up electives or belt loops - or are just interested in where trout come from - but we aren't going to tackle any requirements.

Send a note to Kevin Woody - kandrwoody@comcast.net - if you plan to go on the Pack Camping trip on April 17-19. Its a family event and fun for all ages.

Also, we talked about doing a Den camping trip on either June 6-7 or June 27-28 at McFarlane Park, which is just off Paper Mill Road very near the NASA soccer complex. Please check your schedules and let me know - I want to get this confirmed pretty quickly.

In terms of activity, e'll get their after lunch, pitch tents, play ultimate frisbee or football, tell ghost stories around the campfire, and on Sunday we'll hike down to the mill ruins on Sope Creek for peanut and butter sandwiches.

Sunday meeting: same time, new place

We're having a Bike Rodeo at Sunday's den meeting, so I'm moving the meeting to Mt. Bethel Elementary School. See you at 3:30 p.m. with your bikes and helmets. Adults can bring their bikes too.

Bike riding - need responses

Last note tonight. Please let me know if everybody - at least every boy - has a bicycle and can ride it. I'm thinking bike rodeo for next week. If at least some of the adults have bikes too, then we can go for a ride.

Scouting for Food

You probably just received an email from Cubmaster Morey a few minutes ago about Scouting for Food. Let me just add my two cents to say this is a great project, and its even more important in this economy.

It won't take much time. Your neighbors will be happy to pitch in. And the drop off centers are close by, particularly Mt. Zion church, which is the white church across the street from St. Peter and St. Paul.

Remember - a bag of canned goods, dropped off at one of the three collection points by Saturday, March 21, between 12 noon and 4 p.

Here are the three collection points.

March 21st Drop Off Locations – NOON to 4 pm
Noonday Baptist Church, Canton Road, Marietta, 30060
Roswell St Baptist Church, 774 Roswell St., Marietta, Ga. 30060
Mt. Zion United Methodist Church, 1770 Johnson Ferry Rd., Marietta, Ga. 30062

Aye Aye Cap'n!

What a great trip to the Yorktown - my kids are already asking when they can go back. I guess the sea is in their blood. And a great big thanks to Todd Wilson, who ably captained the whole Pack for the trip. Not a single body was lost overboard.

I hope you had as a great a time as we did. If you want to send me your pictures, I'll post them in a future blog entry.

And now to look forward. At the next den meeting - Sunday, March 22, at 3:30 p.m. at the Euston's, we're going to pull something out of the Bear book to do. Technically, you can't get credit for completing Bear activities until after you complete your Wolf. But that's technically.

Jack Wilson will be leading the flag ceremony. Also, the Wilson's have snack. I'll be handing out beads, so get your achievements marked down in Scout Track. Cub Scout t-shirts are the attire.

Don't forget there is a Pack meeting Monday, March 23. It's 6:30 p. at SPSP.

See you then.
