Pack #59 Year-End Reminders

Scout Families,

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

If your house is as busy as ours is at present, you will be grateful for the following reminders, regarding our last meeting/Christmas Party/Court of Honor for 2014.

1. We will meet at our usual time and place. Please be on time as we have a packed agenda. (Agenda can be viewed at the prior blog post to this one.)

2. Please have your Cub bring his White Elephant Gift. Remember, this is not an item you purchase. Instead it is an item your Cub has been given, but would rather have not received and has yet to dispose of. Examples: the sweater he despises, given to him from Grandma, a game or toy he was given labeled for a much younger age, a duplicate of anything, an item for his room he'd rather never hang or a book about an entirely irrelevant (to him) subject. (One year Eric and I used an old Cat Scratching Post as our White Elephant and came home with a chandelier from the 1970's!)

3. Cubs are all required to bake with a Parent. Use this evening to meet this requirement and BRING WHAT YOU BAKE TO OUR CHRISTMAS PARTY. Choose a simple recipe your Cub can follow and then take a step back and be there to answer questions and remind them of safety issues. Cookies, a snack, a sweet treat, but keep it simple so you can enable their success! And, GUIDE BUT DON'T LEAD, COACH BUT DON'T CROWD.

4. Court of Honor for the Troop will occur first, then our Cubs will receive their end-of-year belt-loops.

5. Our Pack needs to generate additional service project hours so I am requesting (although not requiring) you to consider helping Santa's Helpers deliver dinner and gifts to families in need. The Cubs will miss roughly two hours of school but will receive a priceless educational experience. Here are the details;

Santa's Helpers Delivery Information:
Location: First Christian Church on Hull
Date/Time: Thursday, December 18th, from 8:00 a.m. til 10:00 a.m.
Task: Deliver gifts and Christmas dinner to families as assigned by SH Team

I am grateful each day for your family and your Cub but this time of year I feel very blessed to have each of you in our Scouting life and in our Community at large.

Happy Holidays,
Cub Master Collins

Announcements, Welcome Mats and Fundraising Blazing

Dear Scout Families and Visitors,

Our meeting on October 20th ran smoothly thanks to Sam Mize and Eric Collins who pitched in for me while I was working. I am grateful!

We welcomed a new boy, and were thrilled to see a prior Cub return. We may be small, but I believe we have very responsive families who want to see their sons have a traditional Cub Scout experience and I am grateful for each of them as they help the Pack Go!

Wreath sales are rolling into our Pack. The Troop will also be selling wreaths. Please post our fundraiser to your Facebook page, announcing the final date, November 9th, and encourage your friends and families to place an order. The quality of the wreaths is astounding and they will not be disappointed. If you need more order forms please visit Eric's office during business hours, Monday-Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.. Be sure to collect payment at time of order or you will really be in a pinch when it is time to order. The Pack has to write a huge check to the Farm, which means we need the money you collected, in our bank account beforehand. :)

Our next meeting will be Monday, November 3rd same time and Bat Channel. Expect an agenda as the date draws near.

My plan is to give the Cubs a one-year subscription to Boys Life for Christmas. We did this last year, using funds from the wreath sales, and it seems a fitting gift for them. Registration dues do not include this benefit any longer.

In Gratitude,
Anessa Collins, Your Humble Cub Master!

ANNOUNCEMENTS! NEWS! TA-DO's and THANK YOU'S!

Dear Scout Families,

Thank you so very much for helping with the River Clean-up! We had a very productive two-hours, picking up 8 contractor bags of trash, a chair, a backpack, a pair of shoes and all sorts of unbecoming items! We earned 16 hours of BSA Service Project time, which I have logged, and the Village has issued our Pack a $100.00 check! WHOOO! I appreciate each of you!

• Our next meeting will be packed (no pun intended) and managed by Eric. We will be working on "Good Will/Citizenship".  

• PLEASE REMEMBER THIS IS YOUR LAST NIGHT TO COMPLETE YOUR APPLICATION FOR THE NEW SCHOOL YEAR AND PAY YOUR $25.00 IN DUES. I have no wiggle room as our re-charter is due on 15 November. Please make checks payable to BSA.
• If you are in a Leadership Position/Den or otherwise, you must complete your YPT again. According to new BSA policy this must be done BEFORE every re-chartering process. Eric, Sam and myself-we are all DUE. Please add this task to your list and do not forget. :)
• BSA is discontinuing all belt-loops as we approach 2015. If your Cub really wants one, please get busy working on it NOW! 
• Sell those wreaths! I have not yet heard from the Jubilee, but shall keep you posted. Business in mid-town will gladly take your order for their front door!

Toss No Mas-Community River Clean Up Project

Scouters,

Here are all the details for our Service Project work with the Village of Ruidoso, Parks and Recreation Department.

When? Sunday, October 12 from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m.
Where? Two Rivers Park
Why? Beautification of Ruidoso and the opportunity to earn money for our Packs expenses.

Reminders: In order to earn the $100.00 offered to each group through this project we need ten youth present and ready to work. Please bring your families and any potential Cubs and let them join you in this event.

Cubs should be in their uniforms, tennis shoes and hats. Gloves, bags and snacks will be provided. Please R.S.V.P to me if you are attending. 575.937.7673.

Our next meeting is not until Monday, October 20th. Please use this time to meet at home with your Cub and accomplish a "family" requirement. For example, design an evacuation plan! Where would you go? Does it change based on emergency type? (Fire in house versus fire in nearby area.) What if you are unconscious? Where is your Cub to go? Who are they to call? You would be surprised at the value of this very brief exercise. 

Have a wonderful week!
CubMaster Collins

Pack 59's Agenda: Our Flag!

Hello Scouters!

Our next meeting is this coming Monday, September 29th at 6:00 p.m. Each Den will be focusing on the United States flag to address den-specified requirements. In addition, I will be choosing facts about the flags creation and construction, I think will be interesting for the Cubs.

We will also be launching our annual Christmas Wreath fundraiser. Packets and information will be distributed.

Cub Master Collins, Out

The Pack is BACK!

Scout Families,

Are you ready to get your Scout ON? We are resuming our regular meetings and fun this month. Here are a few key dates, updates and items for your information.

We have had to say farewell to two families who contributed a great deal last year: The Bass and Casson families. I will truly miss them but am so grateful to them for all they have done to grow Scouting in our community. In other news, Rebecca Mize will become our Treasurer and Samuel Mize our Wolf Den Leader. I need Volunteers for the following roles: Membership and Tiger Den. You know my motto "choose or be chosen." :)

Monday, August 18th: Our first Meeting will be held at the same time and place. Expect to be actively working with your Cub on a requirement from the Den/Pack categories. If your Cub would like a Badge for achievements gained last year, I will need to see a completed book. Thus far, I have badges prepped for B. Mize and G. Collins. If I have missed the review of a book-call me and I will get 'er done.

Saturday, September 6th: The annual Fort Stanton Camporee & Merit Badge Challenge has been re-invented. Based upon feedback from last year, this years' focus is on Boy Scout merit badge opportunity to include Boys from our entire Council area. However, Cubs can have their fun too! We will have NM Game and Fish provided archery, games, campfire time and a mule-ride if your Cub is inclined. You are encouraged to camp overnight but a reservation for your tent space is required no later than August 25th.  The fee is $5.00 for the day and is due upon arrival. Food is entirely on your own. Expect more details from me.

Summertime Blog-Final Update for 2013-2014 School Year

Scout Families,

First, thank you for an incredible nine months. The skills and talents demonstrated by many of you, in addition to your commitment, have made our Pack tremendously diverse and effective at Scouting. Due to your efforts my job as Cub Master is more than sustainable-it is enjoyable and educational. Looking ahead, we have two major events planned for our summer and my hope is you will continue to bring to bear those abilities, talents and skills as we camp, swim, hike and fish with our Cubs.

Here are the details regarding our summer plans. *Each activity requires; an adult or guardian, attendance to a Safety Meeting and a current Medical History form. I will issue you a Packing List at the required Safety meeting and collect your Medical History forms. Please insure I have your current email so this form and other communications can be issued to you in a timely manner. 

June 14th-15, 2014 Bottomless Lakes, Roswell, NM

Bottomless Lakes State Park is quite a gem in the desert. Multiple Lakes exist, only one is available for swimming: Lea. Paddle Boards and Paddle Boats are available (for rent at your own cost) as are life jackets which are mandatory. Lea Lake is spring fed, provided to us by snow melt, which travels from the mountains, down into the aquifer and bubbles up for our enjoyment. The water is very clean and many turtles and fish reside. No fishing is allowed in Lea but is allowed nearby. Showers and restrooms are provided. The Day Use area is very busy, but my plan is to spend our days on the other two sides of the Lake so we may rope off a designated Non-Swimmer area. Bring shade if you have it! All our Cubs are considered Non-Swimmers until tested. Please Google Bottomless Lakes for a complete description. We will caravan from our charter organization/normal meeting location. Departure will be at 0830 on June 14th. Camp will Breakdown at 11:00 a.m. Sunday, June 15th. You may leave at anytime following Camp Breakdown. Pack funds and hands will be used to make dinner-menu TBD based upon fire restrictions. Each family will be asked to bring one item for a Pack breakfast. Your family will be responsible for all other food and drinks you may require. Joe, The State Park Ranger, has kindly waived our fee provided we pick up litter before Camp Breakdown on Sunday. RSVP due by May 30th, Safety Meeting to be held on Thursday, June 5th at 5 p.m. at Sacred Grounds. 

August 2nd-3rd, 2014 Camp Wehinahpay, Cloudcroft, NM

Eric attended Wehinahpay as I believe did Mr. Mize. I have never been but believe it will be a wonderful camping opportunity. We chose August for a number of reasons, one being the weather, another being the actual availability of the Camp to Cubs rather than Boys. The pool will be closed so plan for hiking and fishing instead. Restrooms and a dining area are provided. We will once again caravan from our normal meeting location departing at 0830 on August 2nd. Camp will Breakdown at 11:00 a.m. Sunday, August 3rd. You will be required to leave at this time as this is the allotted time the Pack has paid for to date. Again, Pack funds and hands will be used to make dinner-menu TBD. Each family will be asked to bring one item for a Pack breakfast. Your family will be responsible for all other food and drinks you may require. RSVP due July 19th, Safety Meeting to be held on Thursday, July 24th at 5 p.m. at Sacred Grounds. 

Again, I will need your email addresses to keep you abreast of our planning for both events. Mine is anessa.collins@gmail.com.

April 28th Meeting Cancelled

Dear Scout Families,

Due to the lack of availability of more than 75% of our Cub Scouts we will not be meeting as planned. Baseball and Robotics are both in full swing, (no pun intended) so not only are our Cubs unavailable but many of our Den Leaders are unable to attend as well.

Our final formal meeting of the year will be Monday, May 12th. I have a fun evening planned of awards and a campfire craft. Please attend if at all possible as we will be finalizing our camping plans for this summer.

Agenda for Monday, April 14th, 2014: Faith

Scout Families,

"Young people need faith. There is abundant evidence that children benefit from the moral compass provided by religious tradition. We acknowledge that faith can become an important part of a child's identity. Each of the major faiths breeds hope, optimism, compassion, and a belief in a better tomorrow. Scouting encourages each young person to begin a spiritual journey through the practice of his or her faith tradition. One of the key tenets of Scouting is "duty to God." While Scouting does not define religious belief for its members, it has been adopted by and works with youth programs of all major faiths." Boy Scouts of America.

We are fortunate to host our Guest Speaker, Chris Weaver, Youth Pastor, J Bar J Church, who will be discussing faith with our Cubs at this very special meeting.

Here is our Agenda:

Announcements with Parents/Gathering Time for Cubs

Pledge of Allegiance

Introduction of Speaker: Chris Weaver
                                            Faith: what is it? how do we keep it?
