Upper Darby, PA 19082

This is the SAME location that the pinewood derby will be held at on Saturday. Uniforms are NOT required for the den meeting, however – FULL UNIFORMS are required for Saturday’s Pinewood Derby race.


Dens will be meeting there on a STAGGERED schedule. Please arrive at the time slot your den has been scheduled:

Tomorrow night’s meeting will ONLY be used for installing the wheels, and weighing the cars to make sure they meet the weight requirements. Everything else should be done prior to the meeting.

DEN LEADERS: If you have not received a phone call yet, PLEASE CALL ALL OF YOUR SCOUTS to confirm the schedule & location change – we recommend you call them by tomorrow morning (as it may be too late to make the calls this evening).

Hello Cub Pack 375,

The pine wood derby is being held this Saturday, February 13th at:

Cardington-Stonehurst Fire Company <– Click For Directions
350 Harrison Avenue
Upper Darby, PA 19082
610-352-1088

You should plan to arrive at 12PM for check in and car inspection. Racing will begin promptly at 1PM.  There will be pizza and juice available for all attendees after the event.

Friday’s den meeting will be the only meeting to finalize the cars before the race. You should try to install your weights and wheels prior to this meeting if possible. Otherwise there will be assistance to help you with these final procedures at Friday’s den meeting. I highly recommend trying to do it before hand, as you will have limited time on Friday evening, and there is no garuantee that Mr. G will be able to get to you to help with your car.

If you still have yet to CUT the shape of the car out, please contact Mr. Fuiman at (610) 996-0725 or rfuiman@wescott.com ASAP.

Please contact your Den Leaders if there are any questions. Den leaders contact e mails are listed at: http://www.dhcubpack375.org/?page_id=32

Hello Pack 375,

We just got word from Mr. Fuiman that the following events are being cancelled and rescheduled due to the pending snow storm.

* Friday, February 5th Den Meeting (TONIGHT)

* Saturday, February 6th Candy Sale @ Super Fresh

* Saturday, Februrary 6th Wings Lacross Game

The above events have been CANCELLED due to the pending snow storm. All of the above events will be RESCHEDULED – further notice will be sent out as we recieve the new schedule. The tickets that you have purchased for tomorrow night’s Wings Lacrosse game WILL BE VALID for the rescheduled game.

The pinewood derby is still ON SCHEDULE for Saturday, February 13th. Please continue to work on your cars at home during the week, as next Friday’s Den meeting will be the final chance to make any last minute changes.  Your car should be in a “raceable” condition when you bring to Friday’s den meeting (meaning all of the wheels are on and working, etc).   The purpose of Friday’s den meeting is to finalize the weight of the car, and other minor adjustments similiar.

We will TRY to setup a meeting during the week to help get the wheels/axles/weights on the car, but this will NOT be definite – so please work on the car at home yourself as much as possible.

****DEN LEADERS****

Attention Den Leaders: PLEASE CALL EACH MEMBER OF YOUR DEN ASAP to confirm the cancellations with them.

****DEN LEADERS****

Enjoy the snow – and stay warm!

Hello all,

at the last pack meeting at Hillcrest. If anyone found it please bring it to
the den meeting tomorrow night.

Thanks,

Hello Cub Pack 375!

This Friday’s den meeting will be geared towards building the pinewood derby cars as well. The goal is to get the wheels & weights on the car.

You must purchase the weights for your car yourself. We recommend purchasing the weight from Hobby Town USA. It is located at: 101 South Bishop Ave, right next to the Home Depot on Baltimore Pike in Secane. There will be a scale to weigh your car at the den meeting on Friday. Remember, if you decidde to paint, color, or add decals onto the car after weighing it, these items DO add weight to the car. The weights to purchase can be found at this link: http://tinyurl.com/ycpkl4u The 2oz to 3oz weight packs will be more than sufficient – no need to spend the extra money on the heavier weight packs.

The FINAL candy sale for this season will be on Saturday from 12PM – 5PM at the Super Fresh in Manoa Shopping Center. If you have not volunteered at a candy sale yet, please sign up at Friday’s den meeting for a 1 hour time slot.

Friday evening will be the Wings’ lacrosse game at the Wachovia Center in Philadelphia. Money is DUE NOW if you still owe money. Please contact Sam Chiaffa at (610) 348-6569.  There will be a MEET & GREET with the Wings’ players BEFORE the game from 5:30-6:00PM. Please meet in the MAIN BOX office on the BROAD STREET side of the Wachovia Center at 5:15PM so that the meet & greet/Q&A can start promptly at 5:30PM.  If you plan on attending the meet & greet, please let us know by ***tomorrow morning*** so they can reserve your spot at the meet & greet.

ONE ticket is still available for the game if anyone has a friend that would like to come. The cost is $23. Please contact Sam Chiaffa at (610) 348-6569 if you are interested in the final ticket.

As Rich just mentioned, the Open Leaders & Parents meeting is rescheduled for tonight at 7PM at the Riverview Presbyterian Church, instead of tomorrow evening.
