CREW
NEWS
Venture Crew 210 held its annual "Pancake/Movie/Ice Cream Sundries" event in December. Pancakes included chocolate chip, blueberry, pecan and the old fashion standby - plain. Sundries were an entirely different story with more topping than one can recall. Twelve youth and four adult leaders enjoyed the food and the movie Elf. The Crew is currently planning an Iron Chef Cook-off for February.
Troop Announcements
·
Please review the recent
e-mail regarding tickets to a Hurricanes game and let Mr. Willets know if you
are interested, your date preference and the number of tickets you would like.
·
Pack 120 is always in need of
"ambassadors" to the Pack, otherwise known as Den Chiefs.
Please let Mr. Freeman know if you are interested.
· In February, the annual United Methodist Men breakfast and Scout Sunday will be held. These are, respectively, February 8 and 15, 2009. More information about these events will be forthcoming.
Try not to schedule a Scoutmaster conference during a scout meeting due to too many interruptions. Alternatives are (in order of preference)
· Campouts (best time!!!)
· At my house on a different night (This can be done on my front porch while the parent waits!)
· Before a meeting
· After a meeting
A scoutmaster conference should not be rushed so I am really trying to avoid them during scout meetings.
While this means more work for both the scout and scoutmaster, I think the investment of additional time is worth it.
Campout Hammerstone
If you come on the campout and participate, you should have
no trouble earning the merit badge on Saturday. For those that have final exams before and after this weekend,
you can choose to come out just for the day if that would help. Please let Nick
Dempster know if want to come for the day instead. You can review the
Pioneering merit badge requirements here: meritbadge.org/wiki/index.php/Pioneering
The scout museum has been expanded since we were last there
and now includes a Movie Theater that will hold 24. They have some movies
there, but if you want to bring one to view instead just make sure it is PG13,
PG, or G and that you get it approved by Nick. We'll try to work into our
schedule time for watching a movie while we are there. You sure don't want to
miss seeing us "fling a cow" with the catapult we build, so plan to
make it.

Scouting for Foods

church between February 7 and February 14 to the CLC lobby. Your help is
greatly appreciated. If you have questions or concerns, please contact
