Hello All,
I just got an ad for NY Islanders Scout night. They offer really great prices for the seats (HIGHLY discounted) and the Scouts receive patches for attendance. It is the last home game of the regular season. My family is attending, but the ticket reservations are due ASAP! I have attached the form here. I will be collecting money and slips on THIS WEDNESDAY from anyone who wants to join us at the game. I will be mailing the forms of Thursday, so I can't wait for anyone. This is not a Pack 318 trip, just something I came across and thought I would put out to our Bear families!
Here's the link to the flyer. Islanders April 5th

Blue and Gold Tidbits...
Hello All,
This Saturday, March 24th is our Blue and Gold Celebration. It is set to begin at 1pm at Levittown Hall. Your scout should be in full Class A uniform (that's the one they wear to meetings).
There will be plenty of food for the banquet, but there is a competition for desserts. Please see the FLYERS section if you plan on entering the Parent/Son Bake-Off Competition. If not, please consider bringing some cookies or cupcakes or something for the dessert table.
The Blue and Gold Celebration also has several opportunities to win baskets donated by the dens, some families, and many of our local businesses. Tickets will be sold for our Chinese Auction (Attendees place tickets in a bag for each basket they want a chance to win). So far our donations include:
Gift Cards
Laser Bounce (2 x $25)
Dry Cleaners
Hooters
Carvel
Division Avenue Drive Thru
Panera
Turnpike Bagels
Mama Theresa's
Moe's
2 birthday parties from Mr. Poppntwist (balloon bending)
Baskets
Italian Assortment from Uncle Guisseppe's
Death by Chocolate
Basket of Cheer
Italian Bistro
Summer Fun
Movies and Entertainment
Baking
I'm sure there are more that I cannot recall at the moment, so bring some cash, buy some tickets and go home with a great prize!
We will see everyone on Saturday!

Achievements Completed at Meetings
Dear Families,
Below please find a list of achievements we have completed at meetings. I'm not sure of the dates we completed these tasks, but I'm sure your son will remember whether or not he completed it with us at a meeting. Please continue to look through the Bear book and accomplish anything else that needs to be finished up before Blue and Gold on March 24th.
Please go into the "FLYERS" sections and get the registration form for Blue and Gold. Feel free to drop it in my mailbox at any time!
ACHIEVEMENTS:
Achievement 4- Tall Tales- We did all 3 together
Achievement 7- Law Enforcement is a Big Job- We did A,B,D, F together
Achievement 8-The Past is Exciting and Important-We did B,C,D,E and G together
Achievement 15- Games, Games, Games- We did B and C together
Achievement 16- Building Muscles- We did all 3 together
Achievement 21- Build a Model- Anyone who participated in Pinewood Derby did 21F
Achievement 22-Tying it All Up- We did A,B,C,E
Achievement 24- Be a Leader- We did A and D and those who have been denner have done B
So many of the achievements in the book can easily be done at home and your boys probably already do them (going shopping, sports, family things, etc..) Look through the book and mark your son's progress at the back by coloring in the paw prints. Anything extra can be carried over for other awards. The Electives can be used for Arrow Points, which we will talk about at a later date.
Thanks!

New Flyers for You
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.

Change in Meeting Date for Next Week
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. Please bring a photo of your son (preferably in uniform).
