| Happy New Year! '99
will be a big one, with advancement to third grade and Bear! In order to
get there, of course, we need to complete the Wolf requirements and maybe
earn some arrow points along the way.
This month the overall theme will be crime prevention. For the pack meeting on the 20th, McGruff will make an appearance. We will complete our work on Collections (achievement 6), and start on some arrow points. In keeping with the theme, we will spend some time at our second meeting this month completing achievement 9, Be Safe at Home, and discussing achievement 12, Making Choices. At the end of the month, the first weigh-in for this year's Pinewood Derby will take place. The weigh-in will provide valuable feedback regarding the car's construction. Please read the hand out provided last month. If you have ANY questions, do not hesitate to ask! During this meeting, the cubs will be able to work on their cars or join in some fun to earn an arrow point or two. For the month of January (and early February), Pack 51/Den
3 will have the following events:
