Camp Cherry Valley Deposits Due

Hi there Bears and Webelos…

Its time to get our reservation sent in for our camp Aug 21-24… It will be a busy month in August with Family Camp earlier that month… so I am here to help coordinate the sending in of deposits ONLY for Camp Cherry Valley on Catalina Island.

I spoke with Maggie at the San Gabriel Council today for an update on how many spots were left for us to sign up… she said that we are in great shape if we get the Deposits ( 25%) to her by Feb 1st. Payments in full are also welcomed.

So… if you are still interested in going… please get the check ready payable to the San Gabriel Council and I can get it from you either this weekend at Pinewood Derby or during the week next week. I will cut off accepting $$ on Jan 30th at Catholic School’s open house.

If you are still up in the air, you are more than welcome to wait but you will have to coordinate with Maggie for a spot, etc. just as an fyi… the spots are usually sold out by the end of Feb.

This camp is a super busy, all day fun filled camp.. the cost covers the ride over and back on

 the boat, food, a tent is provided for you and they do a SUPER great job at food and providing FUN. In addition, those who go must take a swim test ( Adults also) and the 3 days usually fulfills half of the requirements of the 18 months of Webelos… that in itself is a WIN WIN!

Usually one scout and one parent go.. the tents are- 2 man- and in the past there has been a nightly contest for the loudest snorers…

So…. anyone interested???

Yours in scouting,

Sailors Prepare for Raingutter Regatta

THE Boat Race of the Summer is Coming!!

Saturday, August 21st, 9:30-12:30 pm

 

Everyone in the family is welcome to this fun event.  For those new to the regatta, this is a fun outing where the Scouts propel their home made boats along a “rain gutter” using nothing but air-power.   We will have a separate race for all siblings that want to join in on the fun as well (additional kits are available at the scout center).  All Scouts should wear their Class B yellow t-shirt.

Pre-Race Judging in the following categories starts at 9:45 am:

  • Best theme                              
  • Most colorful
  • Best use of stickers                  
  • Best Scout-only design

The race will be held at the Elsenpeter Residence.  If you have not started creating your sailing craft yet, check out the links on our Resource Library Page or Google for some tips!

Please RSVP as soon as possible >HERE<.

The Wolves are Cookin!

Sunday, March 7th is our next outing for the Wolf Den.  We will be meeting at the Lising Home after mass (about 11:15) and building cardboard ovens and grilling our own burgers. This is an idea that  was shown at the leadership conference and WOW… are we excited to try this.  We will also be making a cake in a dutch oven over real coals…. So the Brea Fire Dept will be on standby… hahaha just kidding!

Check out the plan here:  http://cubpack811.org/library/Dens/Wolves/BoxOvenCooking.pdf

After lunch we will be playing video games and earning a belt loop for it…

We are asking for a $ 5.00 per scout donation for supplies and food.  This can be paid that day.

See you then!

Roz and Christian
