Each scout gets a derby car kit and additional kits can be purchased for family members for $5 each. If you have not yet grabbed your pinewood derby car kit, there will be an opportunity to pick up kits at the next several week's meetings. We will have a workshop after Scouting for Food on Saturday, February 1st – immediately after the collection of donated food. Bring your car kit and volunteers (and tools) will be on hand to help with your design. More details to follow in coming weeks.  Interested in helping with Pinewood Derby?  We will also need volunteers on race day (the morning of 2/22) as well as helpers on Friday evening 2/21 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 coming soon. Chad Lloyd is the Pinewood Derby Coordinator for the Pack ([email protected])   Scouting for Food – January 25, 2025 and February 1, 2025 Mark your calendars! Scouting for Food is our annual food-collection drive that helps us support those in need in our communities, while helping our Scouts practice, live out, and experience the "help other people at all times" ideals of the Scout Oath and Law. We look for 100% participation from the pack for this Scouting service project, so please join us if you are able. On Saturday, January 25, we will meet up at 9:00 am in the MUMC parking lot in front of the Eagle's Nest. Families will collect neighborhood maps and door hangers to deliver in predetermined neighborhoods. Donuts, coffee and milk/juice will be provided. When you arrive, our Scouting for Food Chairperson – Heath Bixel will provide you with your route map and door hangers for you to distribute that morning to all of the houses on your route. There is no need to knock or say anything, just hang the flyer and go. (You do not need to return to the MUMC after you distribute the door hangers!).  The following weekend, February 1, AFTER 9:00 am, you will return to your same neighborhood to collect the food before driving back to the MUMC parking lot where the food will be unloaded and collected. On average, the time requested for each day (1/25 and 2/1) is around 30 minutes to 1 hour.   Outstanding Payments DUE ALL SCOUTS – Any Outstanding Payments are DUE  $50 – Yearly Dues  Popcorn Opt-Out – Email Rasna for Details ([email protected]) Cub O'Ree ($10 per person)  Super Trip Sullenberger Aviation Museum Not sure what or if you owe… Email [email protected] Not Getting Our Emails?
