Be a Part of the Pack's Future!

In the next two years, our Pack will lose some key leaders as the pack sees over 40 cubs graduate and leave the Pack. This is a critical year to have parents to step in to learn many of the vital roles that keep the Pack going. The following are a list of positions thant need volunteers.
 
• Assistant Cub Master - This position helps with the planning and execution of monthly pack meetings.
• Secretary -This position helps keep notes on business conducted at Pack committee meetings and records key items such at things needing follow-up or items for the history of the Pack. Monthly commitment is 2 hours.
• Pack Meeting Planning Team member - This position helps with the planning and development of new ideas to help the Cub Master and Assistant Cub Master with the pack meetings on a monthly basis.  
• Fundraising Chair - This role is responsible for oversight of the various money making opportunites that the Pack engages in. This person is not responsible for running each fund raiser, but merely to provide support for the various opportunities as well as to manage the Cub Points program.
• Camp Out Planning Team - Become a member of the new Camp out planning team or even become the leader of the team. We are looking for a group of people who can help plan out each of the two camp outs we do each year.

Sewing Scout Patches Tips and Tricks

Any scouters out there know that sewing on patches isn't always thrilling, but hey, we want to look snazzy, right? So it must be done. There is always the patch glue, but that looks terrible if you ever have to take patches off. I had to add some patches on to my sons' shirts, and got to try out some patch tips I'd been given. They are so fabulous, I have to share.

TIP 1: When sewing unit number patches, sew them togetr frst, and THEN sew them to the shirt.

This saves you from sewing 3 separate small patches. Bigger patches are way easier, plus then you don't have to keep trying to get them all lined up. This could work for the knot patches as well.

TIP 2: TAPE!

I noticed some tape sticking to a patch on one of the roundtable staff's shirt a couple months ago and asked her about it. She said she uses tape instead of pins when she's trying to put on smaller patches. I tried this out when I had to sew a couple arrow points on Sammy's shirt. First I taped over the whole arrow point and sewed right over the tape. This was fine, but the tape kept breaking apart while I was trying to peel it off. Then I tried keeping part of the patch untaped, sewed that part, and then peeled off the tape to finish. I liked that much better.

Both were excellent helps that made the whole patch sewing experience a lot happier with less unpicking. Try them out sometime!

Belt Loop Primer

From Meritbadge.org

 

Each cub regardless of the rank have the ability to earn belt loops at any point in their Cub Scout journey. 

 

The Cub Scout Academics and Sports program complements the scouting program by providing opportunities for scouts to improve scholarship, develop sportsmanship, and explore new games while collecting Cub Scout belt loops and pins. The emphasis of the program is to try new things and to put forth a best effort, not of achieving proficiency or winning. This program is one method of addressing the third aim of Scouting: the development of physical, mental and emotional fitness. Fitness includes the body (well-tuned and healthy), the mind (able to think and solve problems), and the emotions (self-control, courage, and self-respect).

 

Click the link above to learn more about the Cub Scout belt loops and pins program. For each belt loop the cub is working on, a completed worksheet needs to be turned into their respective den leader.
