Welcome back to school and to a new year in Cub Scouts!

We have an exciting year planned, with pack meetings, den meetings and special events planned each month. The new calendar for the year is attached.

We will spend this meeting catching up on activities from the summer, presenting awards earned and an overview of the wreath and popcorn fundraiser. Then the boys will split off to race in the Raingutter Regatta.

Parents will then get more details about the fundraiser, info about the scout calendar for the year and outline of what volunteer spots are available. Help by all the parents in small ways helps make this experience fantastic for our boys. If we cover this quick, we have more time to watch the Regatta!

I look forward to seeing you there.

Please wear your blue pack T-shirt.

The pack will be providing drinks, hamburgers.veggie burgers, and kosher hot dogs. Scouts with last names A-M, please bring a side dish. Scouts with last names N-Z please bring a dessert. This event will also be our recruiting event so please bring a friend who is interested in scouting!

Please RSVP by August 20 to Lori Hasan at lahasan {at} yahoo(.)com so we have an idea of how many people are coming.

When: Sunday June 19th 2011, from 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm

Where: Central Middle School (CMS) Center Field, Eden Prairie

What do I wear: Your Pack t-shirt for summer time activities

Do I have to register: Yes, but not until the day of the event where there will be a sign-up sheet.

What should I bring: Bring a rocket that is ready to launch. Model rockets can be purchased at a number of hobby stores either fully assembled, or in a kit.

This coming Monday is a special Pack Meeting where all the boys graduate to the next scouting rank. It will be held at the Staring Lake Outdoor Center. Here is a map for the location: http://www.edenprairie.org/vCurrent/live/article.asp?r=1580

We will have the last rank badge ceremony and a couple new scouts joining the Pack. Then the boys will cross over a small bridge on the way to finding their neckerchiefs for the new scouting year. We will wrap things up with roasting marshmallows for s’mores. Please let me know if there are any allergy concerns. We want this to be a celebration of the end of the year for everyone!

We have had a bike rodeo on our scouting calendar all year and it seems that the City of Eden Prairie thought it was a good idea too!

Let’s meet in the Round Lake Park parking lot by the tennis courts at 10am with bikes. We will walk over to the Bike Expo by the Community Center for a tour of the different offerings at the Expo – bike path maps, safety information, etc. We will then return to the Round Lake Park parking lot and take a bike ride around Round Lake.

Here is the link for more information about the Bike Expo: http://www.ci.eden-prairie.mn.us/vCurrent/live/article.asp?r=8277

I know it will be a busy Saturday with many baseball games. Come if you can!
