Cubmaster Dave greeted all who came and began the meeting by outlining all of the current emails to be sent to the pack.  The Veterans Day ceremony is on Friday the 11th at Tahoma National cemetery.  The Pine Tree boys will be doing the flag ceremony for the Veterans day assembly at Pine Tree on Thursday at 9:45am.  They should wear their uniforms to school.  The boys need to line up in 2 rows behind the Webelos II and follow their lead.  Bobbi will have her sewing machine at the November pack meeting.  Popcorn pickup is Saturday at the Behnen’s home after noon.  The Thanksgiving Feast assignments will be sent in email as well.

 

The Webelos II den is having their Blue & Gold banquet on February 18th at the Kent Senior Center from 5(?)-8.  The theme this year is “Into the Future”.  The Order of the Arrow was brought up as a possibility to bring in.

 

The November Pack Meeting is our Thanksgiving Feast and will also be focusing on family trees.  The den’s can bring their regular theme “show-off” stuff.  We will open with the flag ceremony and a blessing, then it’s a serve yourself dinner.  Please send Dave an email if you have any advancements for the pack meeting.

 

Kent is not having a Christmas Parade this year, but is having a Family Day downtown on December 3rd.  We will be going caroling on that day.  We will meet at 3:45 at Starbucks downtown.  We’ll go caroling from 4-5.  Jodi will try to have a business donate hot chocolate for the boys to warm up with after caroling.  We’ll then go to the Christmas tree lighting at 5:30.

 

Christmas Tree pick up envelopes will be distributed on December 17.  We will be meeting at the Safeway on Kent-Kangley at 9am.  Tree pick up is scheduled for January 7th.

 

The December pack meeting is on December 16.  We need pinewood cars for the meeting.  Dave’s dad will be Santa again.  We would like to participate in the Toys for Tots drive.  We are going to try and have the Marines come for inspection and toy pick up.  The scouts should donate new and unwrapped toys.

 

Coming Up:

                *Round Table Thursday at 7pm

                *Veterans Day Friday

                *Park Clean Up Saturday

                *Pinewood Derby Jan. 28

Ed Zielinski is in charge of renting a track for the Pine Wood derby.  It will be a quick day, about 1-2 hours.  The idea of doing an “unlimited” race was brought up, instead of just a sibling race.

 

Because of the shorter race time the pizza crew will have to come earlier to do the pizza.

We need a pizza shadower.

 

Dave found out that we can advance order the Pine Wood derby movie, Down and Derby.  We would need 25 orders and the movies sell for about $20 each.

 

“That’s all that I have,” said Cubmaster Dave as he wrapped up the meeting.
