Cub Pack 248 Webelos II Den

Hello Scouters:

First I want to make sure everyone knows there will be no meeting this Thursday, so use the time to work on those Pinewood Derby cars!

We have a few events coming up that don’t fall into our regular schedule, so I wanted to make sure you all know about them:

• Saturday January 26th: Winter Cub-A-Roo (Those of you that signed up know who you are.)


• Tuesday January 29th: We’ve been invited to visit Troop 5 chartered by Arcadia Middle School on Island Cottage Rd.


• Thursday January 31st: Pinewood Derby – We are hosting, so we will do the opening ceremony. We will be having pizza, but we are also looking for volunteers to bring drinks, or a small side like chips, pretzels, etc.


• Monday February 4th: I have for a visit to the Brockport high school pool. There will be a qualified Aquanaut instructor there, so that those of us without our Aquanaut can earn another pin. I’ve reserved a spot for all five boys, so I hope you can all make it. (No meeting Thursday February 7th)


• February 15th – 24th: President’s Week, no den meeting.

I think that is all, if I left anything out please let me know.

Yours in Scouting,
Vin Latus

Hello Scouters!

As some of you already know we are leading the pack meeting this month. We will lead the flag ceremony and are providing the snack

Mrs. Zambuto has volunteered to bring milk, and I heard a rumor that Mrs. Conradt was baking cookies. Please let me know what you will be able to bring.

Our theme this month is Jurassic Pack, at our last den meeting we practiced the song we will do as part of our opening at the pack meeting. The words are below so you can practice.

Last Thursday we also completed the requirements for the Geology belt loop, for those that didn't make the meeting you will need to do that on your own this week so we can all receive them together at the pack meeting. Don't forget to bring the dinosaur puzzles we built for display and also your cave drawings

Last but not least, if you are interested in a new class B t-shirt or sweatshirt you need to be signed up by the pack meeting

Yours in Scouting

Tune "The Bear Song"

Leader sings each phrase and the audience repeats it. At the end of each verse everyone sings all four phrases.

The other day (the other day)
I took a walk (I took a walk)
And came upon (and came upon)
A piece of chalk (a piece of chalk)

(All sing the whole verse together)

I picked it up,
And thought to see,
A use so you
Would think of me.

And so I thought
About caveman
Who drew in caves
Without a pen.

The caveman couldn't
Have been a Scout,
'Cause he didn't clean up
Before he went out.

What his parents thought
Isn't clear to me.
'Cause they left the drawings,
For all to see.

Now you can see
What the caveman drew.
If you like his work
Then draw some too.

Just one last thought,
Oh, more or less,
When you do your drawings,
Don’t leave a mess!

Hello Scouters!

I just found the information on the next Webelos Pin University

I think the boys that came last year all had a blast, so I hope everyone can come this year. It’s a great opportunity to complete some activity pins, especially for the boy who might be a little behind.

This is limited to 100 scouts so I want to get the registration in ASAP. Please bring a completed registration form to our next event (Amerks game) so I can get them in to the scout office. You will find a link to the form below.

Flyer and Registration Form

See you all Friday,

Hello Scouters!

I have some great news!  I have 10 tickets to see the Rochester Americans take on the Syracuse Crunch Friday October 5^th at 7:35pm.  I’d like to invite the entire den to come with an adult to enjoy the game at the Blue Cross Arena.  It may work best if we meet at St. Charles beforehand at 6:45pm so we can all car-pool and stay together.

Parking and any food or concessions will be the responsibility of each family.

This will be our den event for that week, and you may wear your class B uniforms to the game.  I’d appreciate a call or e-mail to let me know if you will attend so we are not waiting at St. Charles for people that aren't coming.

Yours in Scouting,

Hello Scouters!

This Thursday instead of a regular den meeting we will meet to discuss last minute details of our trip to Webelos Woods. The meeting will be held at the St. Charles Parish Center at 6:30pm.

One important thing we MUST have at the meeting is updated medical forms:

All Webelos scouts and their parents should attend.

See you there!

We can meet at St. Charles if anyone wants to caravan down to the camp.  Registration opens at 4:30pm, as it takes about an hour and twenty minutes without a dinner stop, I think we should aim to meet at St. Charles 3:30 and depart around 3:30 – 4:00pm to get a good spot for our tents.

Right now the forecast looks good

Hello again:

Our Cubmaster has asked that we as Webelos II still come to joining night to show our support for the pack. We will not have any den meeting activity, but we should all be in our best uniforms to set an example for the younger boys. We will also be able to help guide the youger scouts and welcome perspective Tigers. I hear we may even have a new Webelos scout joining our den.

I hope to see you all there.

Hello Scouts!

I hope you all had a great summer.

Pack 248 is having their joining night this week, Thursday night at 6:30pm, so if you know anyone that would like to join the pack, send them along. I hope we can start off this year again with the Webelos Woods at Camp Sam Wood, I think the everyone enjoyed it last year, but I’ll be bringing more blankets this year ;-) At any rate it’s a great opportunity to get a head start on this year’s Webelos requirements.

You may have heard that some dens are planning a den meeting for this Thursday at the St. Charles Parish Center, but I feel it will be too chaotic there for any kind of den meeting. Let’s plan on our first den meeting for Thursday September 20th at my house. I would like you all to think about what you would like to do this year as Webelos Scouts. Keep in mind that Boy Scout Troops would like to see us cross over mid-year (around February) so that we can be ready for all the fun they have planned as we move into Boy Scouting.

Sincerely,
Vin Latus
