Hello Cub Pack 375!

 

 

Friday evening we will be having a den meeting at Hillcrest Elementary School at 7:30PM. Please try to arrive early as we will be starting promptly at 7:30PM. The new rules of no running around the gym prior/after the meetings are still in effect.

 

 

We will have a special visitor at the pack meeting from Friends of Scouting. They are part of a volunteer organization that helps with fundraising for the Cradle of Liberty Council, whom we are under. Please see the attached document for their information letter. They *will* be asking for monetary donations at the pack meeting. Please do not feel obligated to donate unless you want to.

 

 

Saturday will be our Scout Day at the National Constitution Center. It is from 9:00 AM – 3:00 PM, try to arrive early so you can find parking, etc. You must be preregistered for this event. Scouts should come in full uniforms. Lunch is available for purchase at the center, or you may bring your own brown bag lunch. The cost is $12/adult.

 

 

And remember – the Blue & Gold picnic will be held next Saturday, March 27th from 10AM – 2PM at Newlin Grist Mill Park.

 

We are looking for donations/prizes to raffle off at the event. Please contact local businesses to see if they would like to donate items to be raffled off at the Blue & Gold Picnic. Sample items that were donated last year included: portable chair massager, die cast replica model cars, autographed sports memorabilia, gift certificates, wireless routers, vaccum cleaners, and more!  Please go and ask your local businesses to see if  they are willing to donate anything – all proceeds will go towards the pack to support our events and other pack costs.

Blue & Gold Picnic:

For those who have never attended a Blue & Gold Picnic – the Blue & Gold picnic is our end of season picnic where all scouts and their immediate family are invited to. We will provide food & drinks. It is held at Newlin Grist Mill Park – http://www.thebrandywine.com/attractions/newlin_gristmill.html. There will be a ceremony to officially welcome the Tigers to Pack 375, as well as a ceremony to celebrate the second year Webelos completing cub scouts and moving on to boy scouts.  There will be lots of fun and games, and at the end of the picnic, we will all launch our model rockets (the ones given to us by Santa at the holiday party).

The Blue & Gold picnic is scheduled for Saturday, March 27th from 10AM – 2PM. Scouts should come in full uniforms, and bring an extra set of clothes/shoes to change into.  Den leaders will be assigning an item to bring to the picnic to share (i.e. dessert/fruit/salad).

 

We are looking for donations/prizes to raffle off at the event. Please contact local businesses to see if they would like to donate items to be raffled off at the Blue & Gold Picnic. Sample items that were donated last year included: portable chair massager, die cast replica model cars, autographed sports memorabilia, gift certificates, wireless routers, vaccum cleaners, and more!  Please go and ask your local businesses to see if  they are willing to donate anything – all proceeds will go towards the pack to support our events and other pack costs.

 

 

Hello All,

First – a couple last minute reminders:

1.) Tonight there will be a Open Parent & Leaders Meeting at the Riverview Church starting at 7:00PM. Anyone who would like to assist in any way, shape, or capacity for the upcoming year in any role, should try to attend tonight if possible.

2.) The time for tomorrow night's meeting to make the lunches for the homeless is 7:00PM at the Riverveiw Church.

3.) Here is information on Scout Day at the National Constitution Center:

 

Scout Day at the National Constitution Center

March 20, 2010

9:00 AM – 3:00 PM

 

Scouts are covered by Pack 375. Adults are $12.

 

We asked about siblings and, unfortunately, they did not have an answer because the National Constitution Center doesn’t run this event.  They think that siblings can attend the workshops but that participation may be limited to the scouts if there is any interaction because they are working on specific requirements for badges.  There is food available for sale (burgers, hot dogs, sandwiches) in the Delegates Café or you can bring your own lunch. 

Scouts should come in uniform. The following scouts are signed up:

Jacob Chin

Philip Melito

Billy Roze

Cameron Gallagher

Wyatt Pahrman

Joseph Ballaron

Scott Hibbs

Patrick Sullivan

Ryan Lebo

Shane DiRenzo

Tyler Winterbottom

Elijah Neal

Malachi Neal

Jake Fuiman

Michael McKenzie

William Ersek

Jake Stiefel

Christian Hughes

 

We need to know by tomorrow if the scouts are still attending and who is attending with them. 

Please contact Danielle Gallagher with your attendance information. You can reach Danielle by email, daniellegallagher@comcast.net, or phone 610-745-9850. 

Hello Cub Pack 375!

 

We hope everyone had a good time @ Cheng's Martial Arts last Friday.

 

Tomorrow night is the final Open Parents' & Leaders Meeting for this school year. If you would like to help out with the pack in any aspect for the upcoming year (i.e. planning events, awards coordinator, 2nd Year Weblos needs a leader, fundraising, etc) please try to attend tomorrow night's meeting. Any and all help for the upcoming year is welcome.  We are meeting at the Riverview Presbyterian Church at 7:00PM.

 

On Wed evening at the Riverview Church, we are looking for volunteers to come help make the lunches we are donating to the homeless on behalf of the church.  Scouts & their families are welcome to come to the church to make peanut butter & jelly sandwhiches, and pack the bags with the lunch.   The church will then take the lunches we made and distribute them the next day to the homeless/foodless. The more people we have volunteer, the faster everyone can get done.

 

If you are planning on attending the make up Wings' Lacrosse game, which is this coming Saturday, March 13th, Mr. Chiaffa will have the tickets at the den meeting on Friday.

 

Friday's Den meeting will be held at the Riverview Church at 7:30PM.

***The Bear Den will be meeting at the Secane Firehouse as previously announced instead of the church.***

Please contact your den leader with any questions.

Cheng's Martial Arts

NOTE – this is a DIFFERENT location than in past years.  Scouts should NOT wear their uniforms. Flexible pants, such as sweat pants or similiar should be worn to the event, along with a t-shirt/sweatshirt. If you have  your Cub Pack 375 t-shirt, please wear that. The scouts will take part in a free lesson at the school. There is NO COST to this event.

 

You should have recieved an e mail from Anna Melito last week with your food assignments to bring to Cheng's Martial Arts. Please bring your assigned food item to Cheng's martial arts for the homeless lunches we are volunteering to help make as a courtesy to the church, and for community service.

 

If your scout is free on Wed, March 10th @ 7PM, we will be meeting up at the Riverview church to make the sandwiches for the homeless lunches. This is optional, but if you can make it please try to.  The more volunteers we have, the faster it will go.

 

The next Open Parents & Leaders meeting will be next Tuesday, March 9th at 7PM at the Riverview church.

 

 

All,

 

I just got word from Ms. Chiaffa that the archery event has been cancelled. They have still not been able to get their parking lot plowed as of yet, so tonight's event is cancelled. We will reschedule for a future date and let everyone know.

 

Den leaders: Please contact your dens and notify them.
