The War is Almost Over...

This coming week will be the last week for our penny wars and our can drive!  Please make sure if you have any change that you'd like to contribute, bring it to your meeting this week.  Coins will be tallied and the results will be revealed sometime the following week.  It's going to be a close battle...


We also want to remind everyone that we will be walking in the Walk of Champions this year on Sunday, May 5th.  This will be our 3rd year walking and we're hoping to draw a big crowd.  Last year we raised just about $1800 so we're hoping to reach $2000 this year.  The money raised goes toward cancer patients and families through Mary Lane Hospital.  Please let Amy Gray know if you'd like to participate.  (noodlesaw@yahoo.com) 

Happy Easter Pack 118!

From everyone at Pack 118, we want to wish everyone a very Happy Easter!  May everyone take this time to enjoy the day with family and friends.

Pinewood This Saturday!

Are you ready for some racing fun????  Our pinewood derby is being held this Saturday, March 16, from 3-5pm in the cafeteria. 

Everyone is asked to join us on Friday the 15th at some point between 6 & 8pm to get your car checked in and registered so we can get right down to business on Saturday.  Remember that all cars need to weigh 5oz (no more, no less).  If you're close, Friday night will be a piece of cake!  We will simply weigh the car on our official scale, give you a number, and send you on your way.  We will garage all cars until Saturday afternoon to insure nothing happens that will damage them before the big race.  We will have materials on hand to add/subtract weight if needed.  If you cannot make the Friday check-in, please plan on arriving at the derby by 2:30 so we can get the car checked in. 

We will be racing dens together, meaning that tigers will race tigers, wolves race wolves, etc.  Once your den's race begins, we cannot add cars, so it's important that everyone arrive on time. 

Everyone needs to remember that this is a Cub Scout event and as along as our scouts do their best, they are all winners.  Good sportsmanship is a MUST and anyone displaying anything other than that may be asked to leave.  The decision of the judges is the official decision and it must be respected. 

Remember:

It's not about being the best, it's about doing your best!

Good luck to all our racers!  (And don't forget to bring your pennies...)

Last call for OSV!!

We're down to the last few days before our Old Sturbridge Village reservation period is closed.  If you are interested in going (we're sleeping over April 6-7) and haven't signed up yet, please email Ryan at evannpd@charter.net  We need to know who is going and we also need an emergency contact name and number.  Our completed roster needs to be sent to OSV this weekend so we need to know by Friday March 8th.  We will continue to accept payment for the trip until next Tuesday, the 12th.  The cost is $15 for each scout and $35 for anyone else attending.  Checks can be made out to Pack 118.  We have opened the offer up to include siblings, however, it is a strict rule of the village that everyone must be age 6 or over.  Webelos are allowed to stay alone, but every other scout needs to have a parent present. 

This is a fun weekend for everyone involved, so we strongly encourage participation.  Your fee does include admission to the park either Saturday April 6 (which is scout day!) or Sunday April 7th.  We get a private, lantern lit tour of the village, special hands on programs, and a unique experience of sleeping at the village. 

We will email more detailed information some time next week to those families that registered, so please watch for that.  Other than that, if you have questions, please let us know!

DON'T FORGET TO WORK ON THOSE PINEWOOD DERBY CARS!!!  OUR RACE IS LESS THAN 2 WEEKS AWAY!!
