  • BIG NEWS! We will be issuing Pinewood Derby car kits Monday, January 28th at our regular Pack and Troop #59 meeting.
  • Eric Collins will be giving the Cubs design ideas and suggestions to consider. Your Cub will have one week to choose a design before Dana brings the scroll saw the following week. 
  • Please be prepared to discuss the fire drill you conducted with your Cub per homework assignment of two weeks ago. Tiger book, page 28.
  • February 19th is Scout Sunday. You are welcome to join Dana and I at CUMC for either the 8:30 a.m. service or the 10:55 service. Cubs will process into church with the American Flag and lead the CUMC congregation in a pledge. The Collins' do not attend church at CUMC but we will be observing Scout Sunday with CUMC/ our Pack and Troop Sponsor church nonetheless. If you are not interested in attending CUMC please discuss with Dana how your Cub can observe Scout Sunday in your families church of choice. Boy Scouts of America would not exist without the support of a wide variety of religious organizations spanning a vast number of denominations. 
  • R.S.V.P to Dana or Anessa to attend the Blue and Gold Banquet being held on February 5th. Celebrate the Birthday of BSA with us! We will have a potluck, Parent/Son Cake contest and fun visiting with families.

  • The Cubs had a fabulous learning experience due to our guest speaker, State Police Officer, Chad Casson. Officer Casson answered questions about his job and showed us many of the tools and devices he utilizes to keep the public safe. The Cubs were thrilled to see Officer Casson demonstrate the processing of fingerprints, unique to each of us. Thank you Officer Casson! Maybe next time we can arrange a field trip to your office as part and parcel of our Public Safety requirements.
  • We will not be meeting, Monday, January 21st, due to the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday. Schools are closed.
  • Pinewood Derby certificates will be issued to Leaders on Monday, January 28th, during our regularly scheduled meetings. BE THERE.
  • Cubs homework reminder (all dens except WEBELO) you are to write down and conduct a fire drill to be used in the event a fire occurs in your home. Where is your exit? Did you check for hot doors/walls? Where will you meet? Where do you go if your parents are not at the meeting spot after 10 minutes?  Prepare to discuss.
  • Celebrate the Birthday of Scouting with our annual Blue & Gold Potluck Banquet, occurring on February 5th at the Community Youth Center Warehouse @ 6:00 p.m. A Parent/Son Cake contest is planned and we will award prizes in multiple categories. Winner takes home the coveted Wooden Spoon! You are required to sign-up for either a main or side dish (4-6 servings) and R.S.V.P through Anessa no later than January 29th. 575.937.7673.
  • Scout Sunday, February 10th, is an opportunity to take your Cub or Boy into his church to talk about Scouting, volunteer to assist or conduct a service project. Dana will provide details of the plans to occur at our sponsor church during our next meeting.
  • Reminder: Cubs must be accompanied by an adult/leader at every meeting. In addition, they should always have their book and be working through most of the material it contains at home with their leader.
