ANNOUNCEMENTS


January 27, 2012

 

BLUE AND GOLD BANQUET:

That was the best B&G Banquet ever. Every year they just get better and better. We trust that all had a great time and enjoyed all of the great dishes that were there. And what an awesome spread we had, the food was unbelievable. We have such an incredible Pack family and we are so thankful for each and every one of you. Thank you all.

We would like to recognize the following businesses for their contributions, making our B&G Banquet a great success.

Kroger (Christiansburg) Pizza Hut (Roanoke Street)
Chic-Fil-A (Spradlin Farm) NRV SuperBowl (Arbor Drive)
Ameilia’s (Cambria Street) Adventure World (Midway Plaza Drive)
Papa John’s Pizza (S. Franklin Street)  

Stop by, identify yourself, and tell them “Thanks.”

 

INCLEMENT WEATHER POLICY:

It is time for bad weather to come. Just remember that all Scouting functions are canceled if the weather does not support the activity. If school is canceled the day of a Den meeting or Pack meeting, so will that meeting be canceled. Because of the planning involved in the Blue and Gold Banquet and the Pinewood Derby, they will not be canceled except for extreme bad weather.

 

RE-CHARTERING:

The on-line re-chartering process has begun.

 

COMMUNITY SERVICE:

Our Adopt-A-Street Community service was canceled due to weather, but not to worry; we have another one on the horizon.

 

PINEWOOD DERBY:

Our Pinewood Derby will be held on Saturday, February 18, at 12:00 p.m. here at the CPC. Registration will start at 11:00 for all that what to enter the race. The race will start promptly at 12:00 p.m. and no late entries will be accepted. The winner of each den will race in the final round for the overall championship. There will be prizes for the winners.

There will also be an open race for all other family members. If you would like to get a car, the cost is $4.00 per car. Please make sure you have the correct change on hand. There will be prizes for the winners of the open race.

On Saturday, February 4, and Saturday, February 11, the Pit Stop will be open from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. for any scout that needs help with his car. There are weight and slot restrictions for the cars, so come by the Scout Room to make sure the car conforms to pinewood derby specks. You will also be able to paint and design your cars then.

 PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU READ OUR PINEWOOD DERBY RULES

Due to the information that can be found on-line, we have made some minor rule modifications that may make your car ineligible, especially if you build it according to what you see on the internet. Our rules will be strictly enforced and any decisions made by the Race Committee will be final. Get a copy of the rules HERE:

 

SCOUT SUNDAY:

Please mark your calendar and plan to come to this event. Scout Sunday is February 5, at the Presbyterian Church. We will meet in the rear of the Church and do not forget to wear your uniforms.

Become A Volunteer

We are still in need of adult volunteers to fill some vacant position in our Pack. In order for our Pack to be strong and to continue to provide the best program, we need you to step up to the plate. With new volunteers, we gain new ideas. With new ideas, we gain strength. With strength, we gain power. With power, we gain the ability to make our program the best. And we do all of this because we LOVE OUR CHILDREN. So, please step up to the plate and become an adult volunteer. The Pack can only be as strong as those who volunteer their time and efforts.


Yours in Scouting,

George A. Evans
Cubmaster

Truth is limited to the width of your belief and the depth of your desire, receiving only that which you believe, according to your faith. Therefore, escape your confines to diligently search the mystery unlocked from within, continually refreshing reason and striving to properly separate truth-absolute.
