June 8th, 2009
We have a lot to get done this month! We have two boys moving dens in June and two in July.
I will be picking up Ethan, Devin, Dillon & Jacob from School on Tuesday and it would be helpful if Brock, McKay, Josh & Michael could meet at our house at 3:30pm. I could pick McKay & Josh up from School at 3:05pm if that would be easier for parents.
Each boy has something a little bit different to be completed this tuesday and there are only two adults to help 7 boys do different things and we have to be done by 5:15pm because Jasmyn has a choir concert.
So, please pick the boys up by 5:15pm!
3rd Tuesday ~ Hike at Dishman Hills
Cub Scouts should bring the compass necklace with them (completed), a water bottle & appropriate shoes. We will meet at our house at 3:45pm and we will bring the boys home after the hike. I can pick up boys from school. If it would be easier for Brock to meet us at Dishman Hills at 4:15pm that would be ok. Just let me know. Parents are welcome to come too. I will send an update next week on what achievements/electives/awards the boys will be working on during the hike.
Pack Meeting:
Since it is at 6pm and most of us have other kids that need to be at the church by 7pm, Maybe we could figure something out where we drop them off at someone’s house who lives close to the church or who will also be going to the church at 7pm and can take them….Sister Perranoud lives close, Camille Clarkson and Delitra Moyes also live within walking distance….
Day Camp:
Is July 13-17th. I plan on taking boys everyday (along with the other parent volunteer).
I Need another parent volunteer for Tue/wed/thur/fri. I have Rob Fraser down for Monday.
As of today, all day camp fees have been paid for your child ($76). We need to be notified by July 3rd if your child will not be attending so that we can get a refund on the fees. If you do not notify us by July 3rd you will be responsible for reimbursing the church the Day Camp Fees. (Michael Lacaze, McKay Larsen, Jacob Keene, Jacob’s step brother, Devin & Dillon, Josh Fraser and Brock Chapman).
Summer Den Meetings
We have been asked to NOT have den meetings in the summer by one of the parents. Since we have a week of day camp in July and I have girls camp the first week of August, it seems reasonable to not have den meetings in July and start back up the 3rd Tuesday in August. This will give us time to plan for the year. If boys want to come over and play one day a week – that would be fine. Let me know what your thoughts are.
