CUBBY NOTES
 
March 7, 2023

 

Den Meetings:
MUMC Commons at 6:30 pm.

Lions meet!
 

CUBMASTER NOTES

Dear 214 Families-

It has been an absolute pleasure. As I mentioned on Tuesday, Jason will be taking over the cubmaster inbox and the set of keys as my time draws to a close. I'll be out with the AOL's on Tuesday and then the Tuesday after that is the AOL Crossover. We will absolutely be on the super trip and I hope to see you then. (at 5:30!!) 

I am proud of what we have rebuilt together these last two years. I'm even more thrilled that I leave you and the Pack in the hands of some fantastic leaders. Thank you for joining our Pack and seeing value in the program we worked so hard to keep going over Covid. This pack has meant so much to me for the past 9 years and I have so many great memories of campouts and adventures with my boys, I have been truly blessed. Enjoy this time with your scouts, soak it in, it goes by all too quickly!!!

I look forward to seeing you all again when your scouts cross over to Troop 39. 

-Mike

 


SUPERTRIP NOTES

For those going on the Riverbanks Zoo Super Trip, please take note of the following:

  • Scouts must travel to the zoo in uniform. Neckerchiefs and slides may be left at home. 
  • All ADULT participants must fill out a Participant Waiver along with the Chaperone Contract. Please see Committee Chairs for a copy and fill it out at tonight's meeting.

 


RECHARTER DUES

Recharter is almost here! 

Recharter is when the Pack renews our membership as well as each of our scouts and leaders with the BSA for the 2023/24 year. Each scout who wishes to return next year pays $100 and we take care of registering your scout.

Recharter fees are due by the 3/14 Pack meeting without exception.**
If you choose not to recharter we cannot renew your scout and you will be subject to $165 new scout rate next year if you decide to return.

Once the money is paid to the BSA we cannot issue a refund if you change your mind as the money is already gone from our account.

This does not apply to current AOL scouts who will pay the Troop for next year. 

NOTE: Selling Camp Cards is a great way to pay for your Recharter Dues – See below for details.

Please pay cash or check (payable to Pack 214). If you would like to use funds from you Scoutbook balance, please let the Committee Chairs know.

(**Financial assistance is available – please talk to your Committee Chair)

 


CAMP CARDS

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: scoutingtracker.com.

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

 


COUNCIL PINEWOOD DERBY

Cub Scouts, start your engines!  The Council Pinewood Derby is BACK!
 
On Saturday morning, March 18th, Mecklenburg County Council is partnering with UNCC's William States Lee College of Engineering for this year's area-wide race!  Racing will be held in the lobby of UNCC's "EPIC" building off North Tryon and a short walk from JW Clay Light Rail Station!
 
All active Cub Scouts are eligible to enter, whether they have raced in their Pack's derby or not.  Families will be treated to the excitement of the classic Cub Scout competition… bring your Scout Spirit!   Additionally, folks from the College of Engineering will offer tours and a peek at some of the work from their Motorsports shop… they have real race cars students work on!
 
STEM is a big part of the Derby and UNCC is excited to showcase the opportunities they offer… Only the top-engineered derby cars will have a shot at racing glory!  Who knows, maybe today's Cub will be tomorrow's NASCAR Pit Crew Chief!  
 

The Official Schedule will be published the first week of March, including start times for the races.

Sign up on-line at the link below by March 12th.
 
Cost to register is $5, includes 2023 Council Pinewood Derby Patch.

Register: MCC Pinewood Derby | Mecklenburg County Council (mccscouting.org)
