Good flag ceremony tonight!

Our Webelos did a good job getting the pack meeting started with the flag ceremony tonight.  David Wamer did well leading the rest of the den in properly carrying the flags to the front, posting the flags, and saying the Pledge of Allegiance.  Good job, guys!

Space Camp was great!

Our Webelos had a fine showing shooing their rockets at Space Camp this past weekend!  David Wamer, Nyle Anderson, and Kevin Holly all watched as their creations went way up off the pneumatic launcher, then dropped back down to earth.  Read more about Space Camp on http://pack165.blogspot.com!

If you are going to Space Camp we need medical forms and vehicle/driver information.  Please see Tanya Brown, our great Event Coordinator, TONIGHT to find out if she has all of your information.  This stuff is required by BSA so don’t delay!  Get it in so the Pack doesn’t have to wait on you...

It’s VERY ROMANTIC to dial in and be part of the February Parent/Committee telephone conference will be on 2/14 at 7:00pm.  It will be a short one, so please help lead the pack by dialing in and participating in the decision making that is done on the call.  Thanks!

We will be finishing up the Citizen and the Readyman pins this month.  Hopefully you have been working with your son on the Family Member pin at home.  Check the website at http://pack165webelos.blogspot.com for the worksheets (and other worksheets) so you can get stuff done at home! And either send me an email or let me know at the den meetings when your son does requirements at home.  We can’t do everything in the den meetings and I really want all of our scouts to finish up!

We had a great visit at Henry County Station 13 last Wednesday.  If you and your son were not able to make it please review the first aid requirements for Readyman and the flag requirements for Citizen with your son and let me know when you have done this.  

We had a great Blue & Gold Banquet this past Saturday!  If you see Steve Ratmeyer (Bear den) thank him for letting us use the Fellowship Hall at St. Joseph’s Episcopal.  It was a great venue for the banquet and everything worked out well for us.  Woohoo!  

Good time at Henry County Station 13!

Our Webelos had a good time visiting Henry County Station 13 tonight! We reviewed how to put up and take down the American flag as well as fold it correctly and give the honor and respect it deserves when we handle it, then we went over several scenarios and the first aid they would call for. Lt. Carter and his guys helped Cameron, Daniel, David, and Kevin to finish up the requirements for the Citizen and the Readyman badges - woohoo! Many thanks to David Wamer for setting this up for us!

Fire station Wednesday night 6:45pm

Hey, we will have our regular den meeting on Monday night at 7:00pm AND we have a special event this week: a trip to Henry County Fire Station 13! Mr. Wamer has us set up to work with one of his friends there so we can finish up the Readyman pin requirements as well as continue work on the Citizen pin. This is a great opportunity for us, and I hope we can all go. We will meet on Wednesday night at Henry County Station 13, located at 2815 Highway 20 East in McDonough. It's east of the church, but not too far. Let's meet there at 6:45pm so we can learn from one of Henry County's finest! And don't forget to bring money to pay for your family's meals at the Blue and Gold Banquet - $7 per person, scouts eat free! We need to the money in Monday night so we can finish the catering arrangements with Shane's. Any questions? Contact David Holly or Bruce Ferman!
