Mistletoe Update - Part 2 of 3

Bear Den Families –

I want to thank everyone for coming out last weekend to help sell Mistletoe along with those helping with packaging, cutting and preparing for the Scouts to sell.

Last weekend we sold roughly $60.00 on Saturday and $140.00 on Sunday in Mistletoe. This weekend we are looking to sell at a new location (see below).

Of course this fundraising will help offset the camping fees for our Den Family Camping in January.

This year we will once again ask that additional parents and siblings wishing to attend the campout pay their own fees which are set by Council ($15 camping / facility fee, $10 activity fee) along with $10 to the Den in helping to offset the food and supply costs. If we raise enough monies from the Mistletoe the Den will be able to once again cover the cost the Scout and one Parent like last year.

As the Boys grow towards becoming Boy Scouts will be also be asking them to bring a Mess Kit and Aluminum Canteen. I will forward a link with my final 3 of 3 Mistletoe Update next week on obtain these at the Boy Scouts discounted pricing through Coleman.

Without further comment here is our selling schedule for this weekend. If you have time and would like to help us raise money for the campout, please reply which day you can bring your Scout.

Yours in Scouting,

Alan

Den Treasurer

P.S. We have also added a mid-week day on Tuesday.

cub scout belt loops and pins

Hi Bear Cub families,

Today, I need to send in the acheivement list to the pack for belt loops, pins, and Bobcat awards. If your child has worked on an acheivement, please e-mail me so that your cub will receive the award at the Pack meeting on Tuesday.

Thank you!

Leadership Update

Hello Bear Den,

Please remember that we have our regular monthly Den meeting this Wednesday (December 10th) at 6:30 at Newhart Middle School in Mission Viejo.

Also, I wanted to inform everyone that, by mutual agreement, Alan has stepped down as our Den Leader. Alan, and Rigel, will continue to be valuable members of our Den. I will continue to be the assistant Den leader. Mr. Mike Fatigate has agreed to step up to become our new Den leader and has been so appointed by the Pack Leadership Committee.

Please have the boys bring their Bear books to the meeting and we are asking that all parents attend the meeting so that we can briefly discuss these changes within the Den.

Thanks and see you Wednesday,
DON CLEM
Assistant Den Leader

Mistletoe Fundraiser - Part 1 of 3

Volleyball Under the “Frowning” Moon

I want to thank everyone who came out to look at the Moon with Venus and Jupiter perfectly aligned the other night for Volleyball. Although the picture below is the Moon in a smiling outline our moon was in a frowning position. This of course is because this picture came from Thailand. Ending the night with fog rolling in helped remind us that Winter is here!
