Pack 2 Cub Scouts is organizing fun with model rockets this Saturday.  We will have model rockets, engines, launchers ready to go.  The boys can decorate rockets with decals and shoot them to the stars.  Have them invite their friends to have fun with rockets and see what scouting is all about.  See you Saturday for loads of fun. 

Before our campout this Saturday, April 14th, please put on some old clothes and head over to Doss to help spruce up the campus for Spring.  We will coordinate with the landscaping committee and take on one or more projects that the scouts (and their akelas) can accomplish.

At the December pack meeting, we compiled 13 care packages that were mailed overseas to our troops serving to protect our freedom around the world.  Three of the care packages went to an Air Force Squadron in South Korea that fly F-16's specializing in night time ground attack (my nephew happens to be one of these pilots).  Here is a picture of the pilots opening the care packages as well as their card back to the Pack.

Due to a conflict with a Texas Parks and Wildlife event on the ship, the date for our Pack trip to sleep overnight on the Battleship Texas has moved to May 19-20.  Because the date has changed, I have zeroed out all unpaid-for registrations on the web site, to give families a chance to reconsider the new date and re-register.  The six families who have already paid are still listed as registered - if you want to cancel, send me a note separately.

I was remiss at Blue & Gold/Crossover in failing to recognize the many years of contribution from departing Akelas and volunteer leaders Bill Hill and David Urban.  Both have contributed their time and talents for many years not only helping their own sons in scouts but greatly impacting the lives of all the boys in the Pack.  All that have done for Pack 2 is greatly appreciated!

Pinewood Derby will be this month on Sunday, 2/26, from 3p to 5p in the Family Activity Center at NWHUMC.  The pack will host several car building workshops to help those in need.  Cars will need to be turned in on Saturday, 2/25 from 10a until 2p (location TBD since the church has an event at this time).
