Details:

Space Derby

• Space Derby is a fun, non-competitive event.  Scouts should bring their completed rockets and be prepared to have fun and practice their "Do Your Best" cub scout attitude.

• Not all rockets will make it through the evening unscathed, and we'll have a Space Pit Garage to do simple repairs.

• Scouts can work to improve their performance through the evening.  Older scouts with experience may be helpful for those new to the event.

• Volunteers are needed:

  • Help inspect and load the space derby tracks into a trailer on October 31 or November 1

  • Help setup at 5PM on event day

  • Help take down and load the tracks onto the trailer after the event

  • Help unload the tracks back into the pack storage

Popcorn Celebration

• Our Popcorn Sale has ended, and we'll celebrate the results together.  We'll announce the winning den and recognize the pack's top sellers.

• We'll reveal the fate that the top selling scouts voted for their cubmaster.  Will I eat a bug?  Get my hair dyed crazy colors? Eat dog food?  You'll know soon!

• We'll thank everyone involved in the sale.  Proceeds from popcorn make our year of scouting fun possible.

Scouting for Food Kickoff

• Neighborhood food drive to benefit OUR Center

• Distribute bags with flyers in neighborhoods November 6-15

• Collect food Saturday, November 21

• Begin preparing bags for the effort during the Space Derby

• Great way to work on being Helpful scouts!
