We had a terrific Pack meeting last night. Although we missed the SAR dogs, there was lots of activity!
We wanted to congratulate and thank your boys for their help with the flag ceremonies. The scouts did a terrific job! We'd also like to thank all the moms and dads for their help, but would like to specially recognize Jim Baxley (aka Jay's dad) and Bret Johnson (aka Keir's dad) for their help getting the color guard and flags to-and-from the stage.
The boys looked great in their uniforms last night. We think everyone looked squared away and we want to thank you for your efforts and attention to detail.
We'd also like to congratulate the boys for their high-class behavior. All the scouts were quiet and (mostly) still and respectful during the hour-long meeting. I know that those are not easy feats for first-grade boys. Please do pass along our praise to your sons!
Congratulations are also due to ALL the Tiger cubs for their efforts so far in the Pack, Den and Team activities. We are so proud to see all the boys earn their Bobcat badges and their Tiger immediate recognition emblems. Keep up the good work, moms, dads and scouts!
Wow -- what can we say about popcorn sales? All the boys and families put forth truly remarkable efforts in this fund-raising activity. We had 100% participation for the Den. We had more than half of the Pack's awards for $500 sales. AND we had the Pack's top seller in Matthew Hoogervorst. Well done to all the boys -- but especially to Matthew!
Finally, we wanted to pass along our thanks to Jason Barile (aka Dylan's dad) for saving Peter Baldwin's beads. We have to admit that the plastic lanyards used to hold those beads on the Tiger paw emblem are problematic and that knots come undone. I note that in the picture of the emblem (see appended), the lowest bead on each thread is stabilized by passing the lanyard around and back through the bead. You may want to try this. You are also welcome to substitute yarn or leather or anything else that works. If you've found a clever solution, please do share it with the rest of us so we won't spend all our time in uniform chasing beads on the floor : )
Thanks again -- and happy Thanksgiving to all!
Jen and Scott Singleton
