Flag Placement May 23
Please mark your calendars to participate in the Flag Placement at Marietta National Cemetery on Saturday, May 23 beginning at 8:30 a.m. This is a moving Memorial Day tribute to America's fallen soldiers. Class A uniforms only.
May 11 Picnic
Several of you asked me about the details about our Bridging Ceremony and Picnic coming up on May 11. It will run from 6 p. to 8 p. at East Cobb Park near the stage. Don't be too late, because we plan to eat first and then have our program at 7 p.m. This is a family event.
Bridging is the promotion from Wolves to Bears and we've worked hard to make it fun.
You don't need to bring a thing, maybe a chair or a blanket if sitting is your thing, but you do need to let me know if you will be there. Soon, like right now. It only takes a second.

Wolves!
First off, I'm very proud of each of the boys for earning their Wolf badges this year. It took a lot of hard work. It was no gimme.
Each boy also earned at least one arrow point - a gold one - and maybe one or two silver arrow points.
All of these badges need to be sewn on the uniform. Here's the insignia guide to let you know where they all go. The insignia guide is always in the links on this blog.
I've discovered that the dry cleaner and the Scout Shop are both capable of handling this little chore, though the dry cleaner has no clue where the badges should go.

Sunday activity
I forgot to mention this in my last note on upcoming activities, but don't forget the Mt. Bethel Habitat Spring Cleaning on Sunday. Mt. Bethel is lucky to have a great outdoor resource like that and depends on the school community to keep it in good shape. For the pack, its a great way to give back to the school that supports us.
The clean up happens from 1 p. to 4 p. Please come for all of or part of it and wear your unnaturally green Pack 797 t-shirt.
It's a great way to give back to your school and get a jumpstart on next year's Rank Achievements. This service project meets requirements for rising Bears (6g).

Beesball
Hammond Reynolds asked me to get a headcount on how many people are planning to go to the Friday May 8 Georgia Tech baseball game versus Florida State. It's a popular game and Mr. Hammond needs to secure tickets. Send me responses ASAP.
The game starts at 7 p., but we'll want to get there early to tour the television production truck.
This trip, by the way, can be used to satisfy two Bear requirements.

Next and Last Den Meetings
A week from tonight, Monday, April 27, we have our April Pack Meeting. I would like to have a brief Den Meeting meeting before that, beginning at 6:15 p.m. at St. Peter and St. Paul.
We have several boys who have earned their fourth Wolf beads and I want to recognize them. Also, I learned why Benjamin Franklin's portrait hangs in the State Capitol. It has nothing to do with the fact that he invented bifocals - which is what our tour guide would have had us believe.
And then the last den meeting for the year is Friday, May 8 at Georgia Tech's baseball stadium. We'll take in a ball game and maybe even end up on TV. Look for more details on that closer to the date.

Tuesday's Capitol Tour
I hope everybody had a fine Spring Break and Easter holiday, getting outside, going exciting places, having good old fashioned family fun.
On Tuesday, April 14, we are touring the State Capitol. The tour begins at 2 p.m., and we need to be at the tour desk, in full Class A uniform, by about 1:50 p.m.
I've had a couple of parents who have offered to drive. Let's meet at the Euston's house at 1 p. and we can carpool down there. It's important to be timely because parking is a few blocks away.
The tour lasts about an hour. I'll take care of the snack following the tour.

Something's Fishy
Just a reminder about Saturday's den meeting and some additional details.
This week, our meeting is Saturday April 4 at 1 p. for a tour of the Buford Fish Hatchery in Cumming. The tour begins at 1 p.m. 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.
You can get details about the fish hatchery and tour here.
It's about a 45 minute drive, according to Google. Get directions here.
Bring fishing rods and worms if you like. The pond has catfish, bluegill and bream. Adults need fishing licenses (if they are fishing) but kids do not. All fishing is catch and release.
