CUBBY NOTES

Den Meeting
MUMC Commons @ 6:30

Cubmaster Notes: 

See everyone this week. We will meet at MUMC then go on a short hike and clean up the greenway behind the church. Wear comfortable shoes and class B uniforms (Pack shirts). The Pack will provide supplies for the clean up. Parents are encouraged to join (Lions and Tigers – parents required) and we will conclude back at MUMC.

In preparation for next week’s Pack meeting where the scouts earn their rank emblems and “rank up”, we are requesting all scouts to bring their current neckerchiefs and slides to this week’s meeting. This will enable the Pack to take inventory and ensure that all scouts can receive their new rank accessories the following week. 

Please review a couple of key dates / events in the coming weeks. 

  • Sign Up – WAC 2025 (deadline this week)
  • YE cookout – sign up link
  • May Pack Meeting – Rank Up
  • Etowah Council BBQ – leader opportunity
  • YE camp out – sign up link
  • Outstanding Payments are DUE!!
  • Not Getting Our Emails? 
  • Pack Calendar

Webelos Adventure Camp 2025 – July 24th through July 27th (Rising Webelos and AOL's)

Day Camp 2025 – July 14th – July 16th (All Ranks)

Sign Up Deadline for WAC and Day Camp is this week – April 29th. Please contact Reese for details.

WAC is for rising Webelos and AOL's and is their first opportunity to camp overnight with fellow scouts. Parents are welcome, but not required, to attend. We will check into camp on Thursday afternoon and pick up will be Sunday AM. While there, scouts will enjoy all that Belk has to offer – BB's, Archery, Fishing, Swimming, Canoeing, Wall Climbing and Rappeling, and may other activities. If interested, please reach out to Reese Sumrall for sign up. 

Day Camp is a four day camp from 9-5 where scouts of all ages can enjoy Belk Scout Camp, without overnight camping. Parents are not required to join their scouts. Please reach out to Reese Sumrall for sign up.

Sign Up Link – YE Cookout

We have a YE cookout at Squirrel Lake Park on 5/13 @ 6:30 PM. All scouts and family members are welcome for a fun time to celebrate the year of scouting. Please use the link below to sign up. This will enable us to have an accurate headcount for the cookout. 

YE Cookout Sign Up
 

May Pack Meeting – Rank Up

At our final Pack meeting of the Year on May 6th, scouts will receive their rank awards for all of their hard work during the year. The scouts will also have the opportunity to participate in a rank up ceremony, where they move from their old ranks (ie Lions) to their new ranks for the upcoming scout year (ie Tigers). As part of the ceremony, the Scouts will turn in their old accessories (ie neckerchiefs, slides, and hats) for the corresponding accessories of their new rank. The Pack will provide the new accessories for the scout's upcoming ranks. We’re asking scouts to bring their uniform accessories to this week’s meeting so that we can prepare for next week’s Pack meeting.

Note: scouts are not required to return their old accessories to the extent they were purchased, but we encourage scouts to return items previously provided by the pack. All scouts and families are more than welcome to purchase new uniforms, accessories as they wish. We offer the "scout closet" where uniforms and accessories can be re-used as a service to members of our pack ("A Scout is Thrifty"). 

Don't miss this fantastic opportunity to celebrate our scouts' accomplishments and witness them take the next step in their scouting adventure. We look forward to seeing you all there! At the end of the ceremony we will celebrate with some sweet treats! 

May Etowah Council Roundtable – BBQ

Attention all leaders! There is a BBQ on May 8th at 6:30 on the South Lawn of Sardis Presbyterian Church (6100 Sardis Road). We will celebrate the year of MCC scouting with burgers, hot dogs and fellowship. There will be awards for various volunteers and their impact on MCC Scouting, including two members of our own Pack (to be announced shortly). The Pack will cover the $10 admission on behalf of our leaders. By May 1st, please let Chris Hildreth or Heath Bixel know if you plan to attend and we will purchase your tickets.
