There are several new flyers relating to Blue and Gold that I have posted in the 'Flyers' section of the site. Please click on the link at the top of the page to access them. They have deadlines, so please keep that in mind.
We do not have a den meeting this week (Feb 29th) but we have one next week (March 7) at 6:30 in the Summit Lane Cafeteria. Please bring your Bear Handbooks.
Please note that many of the Bear Achievements must be completed at home because of the nature of the activities. Please look through the book. Blue and Gold is less than a month away!

Blue and Gold Preparations
Hello All,
Blue and Gold is the annual celebration of Cub Scouting. Packs all around the country have a banquet each year to honor the boys for their achievements and to conduct a ceremony for the oldest boys in the Pack who are leaving and possibly bridging to Boy Scouts.
Traditionally, the younger scouts help decorate and prepare for the celebration. This year's theme is Salute to the Stars. So many boys came to the mini-pack meeting we had last night to create the centerpieces. Thank you all! They came out great! If you forgot your picture (like me) please bring it to our next den meeting and I will take care of it. We also need to create wall decorations. Keeping in mind the theme, each den will be creating large stars depicting Eagle Scouts throughout history and a few sentences or bio facts on each Eagle. I will bring many pictures and facts so the boys can create the stars, but those of you who have Eagle Scouts in your family or circle of friends can certainly bring a picture of the Eagle Scout and we can create stars honoring those men too!
Please continue to look at your Bear book with your son. There are so many activities that MUST be completed at home because they are just not applicable to group meetings. We (the leaders) really need your son to complete these at home and need you to sign off that they are completed. Please bring your son's Bear Book to the next meeting so we can mark their progress towards the Bear Rank.
More information is sure to be forthcoming regarding the banquet. If you have not already done so, please become a 'follower' of this blog. You will get automatic updates to your e-mail inbox.

There will be a meeting on 2/16 (Thursday) instead of our Wednesday meeting that week. The pack has decided to have a general meeting at Northside in which the boys will create the centerpieces for the tables at Blue and Gold. Please wear old clothes since the boys will be painting.

Reminders for the Week of February 1st...
Don't forget to finish up your Pinewood Derby car! All cars who intend to be in the race MUST weigh in on FEBRUARY 1st at the Northside Cafeteria. If you do not weigh in THAT NIGHT you cannot race. Period. You can send your car with someone else, if necessary. Remember that all cars must adhere to the directions on the sheet in the car box.
Please note that the race officials will collect the cars at the weigh in and store them. You will not have access to your car between Feb.1st and race night.
Please check the flyer on the Pinewood Derby Page for specific information about weigh in and race day.
It is recommended that if the front of your car is not abundantly clear, please mark it as such.
Be sure the scout's name is somewhere on the car.
For those of you participating in the Adult Derby the only specification is that the wheel base must remain because of the width of the track.
