First --A BIG THANK YOU to you parents who came out to the February's cub scout committee meeting. WHAT a difference you made!! Thank you! And for those of you who didn't show... .well there next month..
Now on to the agenda items:
Saturday, Feb 6 -- scouting for food. This is our year non perishable food drive. The cub scouts will be handing out flyers throughout neighborhoods. The neighborhoods are Bushmans, Jones, Flowers/Reyes, Turners and Cortez -- Members of the Sage Ward. So from the church building North to Bridge. But we are not doing the gated neighborhood.
The cub scouts & leaders need to be at the church at 10am in uniform. Parents if you want to help drive or walk, that would be helpful too. This will take until 1pm or so. The more cub scouts and leaders/parents we have the faster it will get done.
There will be NO foyer boxes this year... Just didn't have the extra time to get them done, early.. sorry
Oh the Boy Scouts will be picking up the food on Saturday, Feb 13
Sunday, Feb 7-- Scout Sunday -- Each boy has been asked to wear his FULL uniform to church on Sunday. Grandfathers and Dad join in too. NO Class B's or day camp shirts.
The Boy Scouts of America designates the Sunday that falls before February 8 (Scouting Anniversary Day) as Scout Sunday, which is the primary date to recognize the contributions of young people and adults to Scouting. However, each chartered organization can use either of two other options to celebrate this special day.
Tuesday, Feb 23--- Blue & Gold Banquet --- 100 years of scouting!
Sister Flowers handed out food assignments. Ask your cub scout for the paper from his shoe. The food assignments are simple and easy. If you cannot met your food assignment, please get with Sister Flowers or Me to discuss this matter.
Brother Bushman & Brother Flowers will be cooking the dogs and burgers for the night.
Kyra Baca has & is working on the 100 years of scouting time line for part of decorations. As the day comes nearer, I will need help setting up tables and what not. Let me know if you are available to help.
Sister Emms & the Bear Den will be working on the invitations for the dinner. We are inviting the Bishoprics of each ward and the 7 year old boys from each ward. This night will be a preview to scouting for them.
As for activities for the night, there will be door prizes (b-day gifts for each boy.. What's a b-day party without gifts, right?) There will be a small pinewood derby race in the overflow, only opened to the 7 year old boys. Brother Bushman will give a presentation on FOS or Friends of Scouting. This will help in the cost of day camp. Day Camp is $65 for each boy. With the FOS presentation the cost would be $52 for each boy. There will be a skit on the founders of scouting... should be FUN and a presentation on "why scouting is important?" The Sage Ward Primary is also doing 2 pinatas for the night too.
With all of that, Blue and Gold will be a BLAST!!
Saturday, Feb 27 - Our 1st service project of the year!! YAY!! We are going to help out the Blue Star Mothers of Rio Rancho. We did this in December. Everyone who went had a great time. They also got "MR GOOD BARS" at pack meeting for their service.
We will meet at the church at 11am. We have to be up in Rio Rancho, behind Intel at 12noon. The boys need to be in uniform, too.
More details will be coming....
And with all of that, it bring us to March: take Fight is the theme
