Webelos Activity: Operation Cubsicle + Long Term Planning Dates

ear Webelos Den Parents:

Thanks to Ginny Gannet for arranging for the visit to the courthouse today. It was informative and sobering, as the 9 and 10-year old boys realized that there were 9 and 10-year old boys held in the Youth Detention Center across the parking lot.

Given the nature of the den meeting today, please be sure that our Monday night flag ceremony is on your calendar for next week. I'll send the usual reminder out over the weekend with a reminder of time, location, and other details.

We won't meet next Tuesday, as the school is closed for the day.

Please note in the attachment: Operation Cubsicle on Saturdqy, January 5. We've done this for the last two years, and had a good experience, so let's make it happen again. Please note the fees for participation are the same as last year, and that to ensure our participation, I'd like to collect the participation fee (by check, made out to Three Fires Council) at the Pack Meeting on the 27th. We will also need a couple of parents to take part as well. I will bring hard copies of the document to help as a reminder to our flag presentation next week.

Please mark your calendar for Webelos resident camp at Camp Ma-Ka-Ja-A-Wan, June 29-July 2. I performed the camp inspection for this property over the last two years, and they have a really terrific Webelos program. They have not posted the information on their website yet, but if you would mark your calendar and seriously consider participation, I know the boys would really benefit from it.

Given that we have siblings among us, I also recommend Cub Scout resident camp during from July 10-13 at Indian Mound Reservation. They have a good introductory camping experience, and I highly encourage participation in this program as well.

Look for some information regarding the Electric Parade in the near future, as we have a good theme developing around this activity.

Best regards,

Ken
