Happy New Year!

Happy New Year, pack 118!!  We hope everyone had a great Christmas and is looking forward to the hope and promise the new year will bring!

We've been busy behind the scenes lately!  2016 is a big year for our pack as it is our 70th year!  There will be lots of surprises and special events to commemorate this epic milestone!  

At our December pack meeting, all the boys received a Raingutter Regatta kit.  (if you didn't attend, we will have extra kits at the next den meetings, starting January 5) These kits are relatively easy to assemble and decorate, but please don't wait until the last minute to do them.  We will hold our Raingutter Regatta pack meeting on Tuesday, January 19th at 6:30.  The boys will bring their completed boats to this pack meeting and will race against other boys in their den.  Why is it called a "Raingutter Regatta"?  The boys' boats will race in actual raingutters!  It's lots of fun to watch!  We will have a special activity for any siblings that want to take part.  If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact our cubmaster, Ryan LaRoche, at evannpd@charter.net

All that being said, we hope everyone has a happy, healthy, and safe new year!

Celebration of Giving

Everyone should have received our December edition of the Cub Scout Courier by now.  If you have not, please email Ryan at evannpd@charter.net.  They were sent to all families via the USPS, so check your mail box or your PO box.  

We will be having our next pack meeting on Tuesday, December 15 starting at 6:30pm at WBES.  This will be our first annual Celebration of Giving event.  If you took a tag from our giving tree back in November, please bring your donation to this event so we can prepare to present it to the receiving family.  We will have a variety of giving activities for everyone to participate in.  Adults will be wrapping our gifts and organizing all food donations; we'll be making fleece blankets to donate to the local fire department; we'll be making "Angels for Aiden" to help a young boy fighting cancer; we'll be making "Postcards for Paris" to cheer up a young girl from town who is also fighting cancer; we'll be making special gifts for the entire school staff.  There will also be our much anticipated bobcat ceremony for all our new boys who have yet to earn this prestigious award.  (Parents of these boys should be prepared to go up on stage) 

We hope to see everyone next Tuesday!  Enjoy your week!
