Inks Lake, take two!

posted Apr 29, 2012 7:30 PM by Webmaster Pack406   [ updated May 11, 2012 9:24 PM ]

Update:  The agenda for the days activity has changed. Please consult the pack calendar for the new schedule.  Everything after dinner is still the same.

Rain rain, go away.  Scratch that.  Rain, please, lots of it.  But preferably not to at Inks Lake on May 11th-13th when Pack 406 will be camping there.

Come join us for fun and games, earn belt loops, see your scouts transformed into the next rank before your very eyes!

We're currently on a big push to get all of our records up to date.  There are many, many people who have turned in records that haven't been recorded correctly.  Please check with your Den Leader to see if your Youth Protection Training and Medical Forms are up to date!  Please not that the date (year is fine) of the tetanus shot is required on your medical form.  Another reminder about Youth Protection Training, if you are attending a camp lasting at least 4 days, such as any of the Council Summer or Webelos camps, you are required to take the Classroom version of the YPT course.  The Classroom version will be valid for anything the online version is good for.  The pack will also be providing a classroom version.

Also, we're starting to push for everybody to bring their own Cups to the campout.  Let's stop throwing so much trash away!  The pack has a new stock of colorful camp cups.  At $5 a piece they're a great rugged customizable way to consume your refreshing liquids.  I'd recommend bringing a carabiner or clip of some type to clip the handle to your belt.  Now is a great time to start practicing, come fall you might end up singing every time you grab a disposable cup!

Here's a link to Google Maps, a site map of the park, and the Texas State Parks Page for it.

The fees for this campout will be $7 per person for food to the pack.  This will cover breakfast, lunch and dinner on Saturday and breakfast on Sunday.

If you don't have a tent the pack has a few loaners, ask your Den Leader for more information.

Here's a list of items you should think about taking to the campout.  The agenda for this is attached below.

Curious to see how your Scout is advancing?  Wondering if you've turned in all of your required paperwork?  Want to make sure the pack can contact you?  The Pack has recently set up the online portion of the program it uses to track your Scout.  Every family should have received an email with login information.  If you haven't please send an email to admin@pack406.org in order to sort things out.  You can check the status of your Scout and family, and in the future register for events like campouts.  Please verify your data and let your Den Leader know of any incorrect information.

Den Leaders - Only modify Personal Data Page 1 other than the name and Advancement.  Let the Record Keeper know of any other changes that need to be made.

Return of the Camp Cards

posted Apr 27, 2012 6:01 AM by Webmaster Pack406

Hopefully you've been selling Camp Cards like gangbusters!  It's very important that you return your unsold cards to your den leaders no later than May 5th.  Otherwise the Pack cannot return them for full face value and you may end up paying for some or all of the card.  Be sure to get them back in time!  If you're not selling cards you might want to consider it.  It's one of the few fundraisers a Scout can do in full Class A uniforms, and 50% of the selling price is added to the Scout's account for camping!

DeutchenPfest Parade

Pack 406 will be participating in the 2012 DeutchenPfest Parade.  Meet at the church at 9:45 on Saturday the 19th and we'll move on to the parade from there.  After the parade we'll regroup at the Church around 12pm to disband.

Help Wanted! (updated 3/27)

Hello Pack 406 Parents & Friends!!
 
In our Pack, we have 70+ Cubs and a handful of leaders.  The hardest part of continuing the energy and fun of a Pack is keeping fresh faces in leadership. 
 
WE NEED YOUR HELP!!!
 
There are a handful of a leaders who will be crossing over in the next year.  We need to get those positions a replacement or at least a co-chair to insure that the Pack continues without any issues.
 
WE NEED YOUR HELP!!!
 
Recently, I had the volunteer list at our March pack meeting.  There were three parents who signed up to help in the Pack leadership.  I truly appreciate their help!!!!  Now...
 
WE NEED YOUR HELP!!!
 
Congratulations to everyone who has stepped forward in the last couple of days to help lead Pack 406!!!!  I feel very blessed to be part of an incredible group of parents and Cubs.  Our pack is going to stay very active and energized because of each of you!!! 
 
With those changes in mind, below is an updated list of opportunities available.  WE STILL NEED YOUR HELP!!!!
 

Committee Chair (Mike Worley) - Prepare agenda for Committee meetings, lead Committee meetings, help parents with concerns, act as liason for parents, etc.

Recruitment Chair (Grace Pratt) - Organize, lead, and get paperwork for 2 major recruitments (September & January) from 3 local elementary school. 

Campout Cook (Larry Cox) - Plan a menu, cook at campouts, and get help from parents/Cubs for serving.  If we don't have a cook, then we eat Survivor style plus or minus the bugs depending on the season <joking>.

Campout Groceries (Larry Cox) - Work with cook to organize the groceries for each campout, buy the supplies, get them to the campout, and get leftovers back from campout

Newsletter Editor (Amy Johnson) - Create monthly newsletter from information given from leaders, Cubmaster, and from using the local websites for more information.  Distributed at pack meetings.

Blue & Gold Coordinator (Grace Pratt) - Organize yearly dinner and event in February each year.

Fundraising Chair (Susan Pryer) - Keep the Pack's fundraising efforts organized, distributed, and accounted for each fundraising season (August - popcorn, Spring - camp cards this year).  Fundraising is how our Pack continues to go on cheap campouts and have really fun events.  Susan is crossing over next Spring and must be replaced NOW!
 
WE NEED YOUR HELP!!!
 
Please feel free to email me or any of the contacts or Greg Pryer if you have questions.  If you email with questions, it does not mean you are committing to anything.  Please feel free to ask!!!!
 
WE NEED YOUR HELP!!!

Tahuaya Ho!

posted Mar 8, 2012 5:34 AM by Webmaster Pack406   [ updated Mar 16, 2012 1:41 PM ]

Update:  We are camping at the Camp Davy Crocket campsite at Tahuaya.

Learn interesting things about the world around you!  See cubs earning belt loops!  See Scouts running around and having a great time!  Come join us March 16-18 at our next Campout!

We have lots of new scouts, and many of our old scouts have had things expire and/or change, in fact according to our records most people need to have their forms updated.  Make sure everybody has turned in a current Medical Form (parts A & B, expires after 1 year) and copy of their insurance card.  Every adult must have turned in their Youth Protection Training certificate (expires after 2 years).

Additionally, this campsite requires that you bring a copy of your Youth Protection Training Certificate with you.

Here's a link to Google Maps, a site map of the park, and the The Longhorn Council's web page for the campsite.

The fees for this campout will be $7 per person for food to the pack.  This will cover breakfast, lunch and dinner on Saturday and breakfast on Sunday.  If you paid for the abortive Inks Lake Campout then that money will be applied to this campout.

If you don't have a tent the pack has a few loaners, ask your Den Leader for more information.

Here's a list of items you should think about taking to the campout.  The agenda for this is attached below.
