CUBMASTER NOTES

  • Super Trip Fees are Due Feb. 13th

  • Camp Card Fundraiser
Also, there are two Scout Nights coming up if families are interested. These are individual events and not organized by the Pack. Information is included in the newsletter.

A quick reminder about our behavior policy: Please ensure that your child
upholds respectful conduct during scouting events and meetings. Familiarize
yourself with the full policy to support a positive scouting experience for
all – Click Here!

 

CAMP CARDS FUNDRAISER

Pack 214 participates in the MCC Camp Card fundraiser.

Camp Cards are a great way for your scout to earn money to pay for trips, camps, and Recharter fees.  Pick up as many cards as you think you can sell. Each card is $10. Bring the proceeds to the Pack and your scout's Scoutbook account will get $5 for each card sold. The council gets the other $5.

This is a no risk fundraiser; just return any cards that you do not sell. You can also sign up to sell online. There is a feature where people can purchase cards to donate to first responders. You must create an account to sell online: HERE

Talk to your Committee Chair if you have questions and to pick up some cards.

Please consider raising funds for your scout by selling Camp Cards!

 


BLUE & GOLD CELEBRATION

We will be celebrating Scouting Anniversary Week on February 13th, with a "birthday party" called the Blue and Gold.  Scouts are encouraged to make a 9 x 9 cake, decorate it, and bring it in for the Pack to enjoy! There will be prizes awarded (see RULES below)!

Since the cakes will be shared with everyone PLEASE keep in mind that we do have a tree nut allergy in our pack and ask that none of the cakes or cake ingredients contain tree nuts.

Rules:
 1) Theme =
 THE GREAT OUTDOORS

 2) Edible! That means everything except the tray it sits on. Whatever you build or use to decorate must be edible. Examples: Toothpicks NOT edible, pretzel sticks ARE edible. Matchbox cars and Legos are NOT edible, candy and chocolate ARE edible.

 3) Scout Made!  An adult may help with the oven, appliances, sharp knives, etc. as needed. However, please allow the Scout to do as much as possible.

 4) No Fridge/Freezer items! The cakes will have to sit out at the Pack meeting for a while. Do NOT make the cake out of ice cream or other melting foods unless you are bringing a mop or a case of paper towels and plan to clean up the puddle.

 5) Mixes or homemade! Go ahead, rely on the box if needed. But, NO STORE BOUGHT CAKES! Mixing is the plan!

 6) Scouts clean up the kitchen! All scouts are old enough to load a dishwasher or wash items by hand. Just bring a stool or chair to the sink if needed. Wipe down those counters, too.

 7) Bring it on a disposable tray like foil wrapped cardboard to aide in cleanup or you may be there a while and/or have to take leftovers home.  Although this last is not a requirement, it is highly recommended.

 


PINEWOOD DERBY RACE 

The Pinewood Derby race is coming up on Saturday, February 24. Each scout gets a derby car kit and additional kits can be purchased for family members for $7 each.

The Pinewood Derby Race registration form is below:

https://form.123formbuilder.com/6359734/2024-pinewood-derby-pre-registration

Please register by the end of Thursday Feb 22nd so we can import the data on Feb 23th and have it ready. Registration will also be open the morning of race day during inspection.

Interested in helping with Pinewood Derby? 
We will also need volunteers on race day (the morning of 2/24) as well as helpers on Friday evening 2/23 to help set up the track. Both opportunities are an easy way to help out the pack and it's very much appreciated. Sign Up Genius HERE!
