Hi Pack 1776 Cubs, Families and Racers!
Happy New Year to you all!
This Sunday we will have our January pack meeting. To get in the spirit of the annual Pinewood derby race, we plan to host a "Down & Derby" movie matinee followed by a museum tour at the Blackhawk Auto Museum.
Ever been there? It's just happens to be the coolest car museum in the area, and it's in our own back yard. If you don't have design for your derby car, the Blackhawk Museum will definitely inspire our cubs.
So remember, the Pack meeting is on SUNDAY Jan 8 at Blackhawk museum from 2-4:30pm.
Start your engines, and race (within the speed limit!) to the big pack event,

Ho Ho Ho – Holiday Pack Meeting This Friday
Seasons Greeting, Pack 1776!
Just a friendly reminder of our holiday pack meeting this Friday, December 16, from 7:00-8:00.
This special Pack Event will include skits, songs and a visit from the man in red, Santa Claus.
I just e-mailed him, and he said he has pinewood derby kits for all the Cubs. What a guy! The elves at the North Pole have been hard at work.
Bring your cameras, Santa also told me to bring the family for pictures. He's making a list and checking it twice, and that our cubs have been good little dudes this year. Something about a lump of coal for me. Ho Ho Ho, Very Funny!
The pack has available for purchase extra pinewood derby kits for siblings, at a cost of $5 per kit, so that they too can participate in the big January race.
See you then,
Cubmaster John

Fall Camping 2011 Re-cap
The Fall camping event at Historic Camp Herms turned out to be a great success and everyone had a great time!! We camped in the Redwood Grove area surrounding by Giant Redwood trees which also help provide some cover for the rain that came Friday night. Luckily, most people had their tents up in time to take cover and the rain didn’t go on too long.
We woke up Saturday and had good weather for our opening flag ceremony and breakfast where the scouts received their very own mess kits to use, clean and keep. We then had a fun filled day that included many belt loops, including Kickball led by me, Photography (every scout got their own disposable camera!) led by Harry Beck, Hiking lead by Bernard Kiriakos and the Marble belt loop lead by Ammy Pluth. We also had the Lower Field reserved nearby where the scouts had free time to play soccer, football and the always popular stick battles which included the conquering of a nearby hill.
After dinner, John Pluth led a touching flag retirement ceremony where the Webelos assisted in retiring a donated flag. John then led everyone in singing techniques and great traditional and holiday songs which allowed the scouts to get their final belt loop - Music. For those who are counting that was five belt loops this trip! We ended the night with a large campfire, great stories by the parents and kids and lots and lots of smores.
The following morning, we wrapped up the trip with breakfast and a closing flag ceremony. A BIG thank you to everyone who helped make the Fall Camping 2011 trip a great success!!

p.s. If you would like to bring your developed pictures from the disposable cameras to the next pack meeting, Ammy Pluth will put them up for the Pack to see.
