Fwd: Parade Information

Hi all:

 

Here is the info on the parade Thursday. See the email below and the attached info. For those of you who have done this before, it is similar to previous parades, except maybe the parking. Here are the main points:

-- Wear class A uniform.

-- Families are welcome to march alongside. (Tigers need an adult partner at all events.)

-- Close-toed shoes required FOR EVERYONE (scouts and family members, too)
-- We will start at the lawn in front of UH Maui off of Kaahumanu Ave. The entrance by the main gate will probably be closed. There are usually a ton of Scouts around there, so just look around till you find Pack14. I will look for some shade for us to wait in.

-- They said to park at the stadium at the end of the parade route. This is pretty far from the start, so that doesn't make a lot of sense to me... In the past, parking was by the recycling center off of Wahinepio in the drive-in movie field. They said there is no parking in the "back lot", but I'm not sure what that means... Anyhow, that's the info I have. 

-- The parade starts at 4:30pm. They say the road closes at 4:15, but it seems like it was shut down earlier in past years. I would suggest folks show up by 4pm at the latest. Given the confusion over the parking, you might want to shoot for earlier.

-- We will march down to the end, and we usually finish up by the baseball stadium. After that, they usually give out passes to the fair.

-- Bring water and wear sunscreen.

-- There is always a lot of standing around waiting for it to start... Any volunteers to prepare an activity that doesn't require a lot of props?

Aloha All,

Please plan to arrive at/ around 3pm and check in with Ginny Hertz at the grass area #16 (see attached map sheet 3)

 

Please drop  your scouts off on the back of the college off of Wahinepio Avenue (Swap Meet Parking lot) and have them pass through the college to the meeting area. 

 

NO Parking in the back parking lot.  Please park at the War Memorial Complex where the parade will end.

We are not allowed to pass anything out along the parade route. 

 

Attachement #4 shows where we will exit the road after the parade.  Please walk all the way in so we do not block other groups from entering the parking lot after us. 

 

In Scouting,

Reminder - Pack Meeting Wednesday

Hi all, 

Reminder - we have pack meeting on Wednesday: 6:30pm at the Kula Community Center. Please try to arrive 5-10 minutes early, since it always seems to take a few minutes to get the boys' uniforms tucked in, find a seat, greet people, etc.  

I have had a number of people asking me about dates for this and that, so I just wanted to remind everyone that I try to keep the Pack calendar up to date at http://www.mauipack14.org/. 

-- We can put den schedules on there, too, if you like. 

-- If you have an iPhone, you can add the calendar to your phone. I think you just click on this address in your phone and it should walk you through it: http://www.google.com/calendar/ical/davidaskov%40mauipack14.org/public/basic.ics 

-- If you have an Android, go to your gmail account, open the calendar, click on the "add" link in the left under "other calendars", and choose "add by URL". Enter the calendar URL under the iPhone. 

Spook o ree: A few updates.

1) Cabins are first-come, first-served. This is a Council event, so they may sell out. I will be in a tent.

2) Make checks out to "Boy Scouts of America".

3) The registration is for both adults and children, so put both on your form and include that in your payment. 

4) Take it to the Council service center (Mon-Fri, 8-4) or mail to: 

Maui County Council, Boy Scouts of America

200 Liholiho Street

Wailuku, Maui, HI 96793

5) Please let me know participant names you send in, so I can double-check with the Council and make sure their list matches ours. 

6) The Council said there are no medical or release forms to fill out. I half expect they will be requested later. Stay tuned...

 

See you Wednesday!

Here are a few announcements. I'll try to keep them short, and some items will have more detailed follow-ups, but please read to the end. All Pack events are always on our calendar at http://www.mauipack14.org/

1) Pack meeting next Wednesday (21 SEP), 6:30pm at the Kula Community Center. Please come on time so we can finish on time. 

2) Awards - If your son has any awards to report, please send those by Friday to your den leader and copy Stacy (sagemom1@yahoo.com). Don't know who your den leader is? Then just email Stacy this month. 

Summer camps: I will try to compile a list of awards earned by the boys at summer camps. Since they all should have earned the same things, please let me know if you have a list of those (I sure don't!). I have some notes Ben made for me from Webelos camp. I only attended one day of Cub Camp, so I need more help with those awards.  

3) The Council is trying a new event in the fall for Halloween. They are calling it the Spook-o-ree. This is an overnighter at Camp Maluhia 28-29 OCT. This is strictly a per-family sign-up, so you're on your own to sign up. There are a limited number of cabins available, so sign up early if staying in a tent isn't your thing. Sign-up form is attached, and is also attached to the calendar event on the website. 

Note the request to bring nine 1-gallon milk containers for the crafts. Anyone have connections to a coffee shop or restaurant that might have these?

4) NEW SCOUTS: The Council will hold their annual New Scout Adventure on Nov 19th. I think it is a one-day event at Camp Maluhia. It is meant to be fun for the boys, as well as teach them a bit about scouting and how it works. More details to come as I get 'em. 

5) The popcorn kick-off meeting was tonight. Expect news next week at the pack meeting. This our biggest fund-raiser of the year, and usually is during the month of October. 

6) We are definitely marching in the County Fair parade 29 SEP. Plan on being down at UH-Maui around 3:30pm-ish. They usually give us Fair tickets afterwards, so many of the boys go in to the Fair that evening. More details to come as I get 'em.

7) All-Wheels Rodeo coming up  09 OCT at 10am. Plan on bringing something on wheels (bike, scooter, skateboard, rollerblades...) and a HELMET. More details to come at the Pack meeting.

Let me know if I forgot anything, and I'll add it to the pack meeting announcements.

Re: Welcome to the new Scouting year

Hi all:

We will be marching in the County Fair parade on 9/29. It is after school (3pm-ish), and the boys walk down Kaahumanu Ave. At the end of the parade, they usually give the boys tickets to the fair. Please plan to wear your full uniform. 

We typically have near 100% attendance for this, so please reply if you cannot make it. 

In other news, we will be starting up the dens shortly, so stay tuned for that.

Hi everyone:

What a great first meeting we had last night! It was great to see a number of new boys interested in Cub Scouting and the Kendo clinic was a big hit. I'll try to be as brief as I can, but we went through a lot of announcements last night, which I'll try to sum up. 

Upcoming dates: 

-- Sep 03: Cub-o-ree - This is a Council event that is fun for the boys. It will be from 8-11 AM in Wells Park in Wailuku. MAP. Wear class B uniforms. 

-- SEP 21: Pack Meeting - 6:30pm at Kula Community Center

-- SEP 29: County Fair Parade - (tentative) The boys march in the parade every year. Lots of fun!

-- OCT 09: All Wheels Rodeo (a.k.a. Bike Rodeo) - 10 AM - Work on bike (or rollerblade, skateboard, scooter) skills and safety.

All dates are on the pack website. Note that all emails to the Pack address get posted to our Blog. If you ever misplace an email, just click on the "Blog" link on the website. 

Dens: The boys are organized into dens according to age/grade. 

1st grade - Tigers - den #5 - It is normal to take a little while to establish a den leader the 1st year

2nd grade - Wolves - den #3 - Hiroko Ward - hiro@bamboochan.com

3rd grade - Bears - den #1 - Jonathon Yudis - priorityearth@gmail.com

4th grade - Webelos 1 - den #4 - David Askov (we will join up the two webelos dens for some activities)

5th grade - Webelos 2 - den #7 - David Askov - davidaskov@mauipack14.org

We will be getting the dens organized very soon, so stay tuned for that. 

Uniforms and Books: 

-- The pack will provide a book and neckerchief. Boys who attended the cookout/party at Keokea should already have these. If you did not get one, please let me know so we can get them for you. We have various other uniform pieces in our hand-me-downs box first-come, first-served. 

-- The rest of the uniform can be purchased at Maui Sporting Goods in Wailuku. 

-- The most important parts to get are the shirt and the hat. Here is a link to the uniform pieces. For grades 1-3, get a blue shirt and a hat that matches your den year (see above). For grades 4-5 either blue or the tan Boy Scout uniform is fine, but if you're buying a new one, get the tan. 

-- Insignia: Get a world crest, council patch, red pack numbers (1 & 4), den patch (see numbers above). The uniforms should come with the American flag. Patch placement guide (see page 2).

-- Class B: When getting dirty or sweaty, we will wear class B uniforms. This is basically just a pack t-shirt, which we sell at pack meetings for $9. 

-- Close toed shoes: These are required at all events for all Scouts and family members attending. Our insurance requires this, so we appreciate you helping us out with it. 

Cost: 

We passed out application forms for new boys. I have more if you still need one. In general, Scouting is a very affordable activity. Dues are $40 for new Scouts. (We will collect from returning Scouts later this fall.) There are uniforms to buy. There is a voluntary donation fundraiser for the Council each year. And then there may be some materials to buy for your den activities (e.g.: wood to do craft projects) and food for some potlucks. We do 1-2 fundraisers each year that have, in the past, covered the rest of the costs. The only other thing I can think of is there may be Council events that have fees associated with them (e.g.: summer camp). If cost is an issue, talk to us, and we can work out a scholarship. We never want a boy to miss the chance to be a Scout because of money. 

Just call if you have any questions. 

thanks, David

Aloha All,

 

Camp Maluhia is in need of a few good men.  The National Guard has done a good job in building the cast in place walls and can use our help to take down the forms because they were delayed by weather and plumbing inspections.  Anyone willing to assist in disassembling the forms please join us at Camp Maluhia this weekend.  Bring your hammer, crow bar, protective eyewear, and any other tools that may help in dismantling the forms.  Lunch will be provided so please provide me with a head count by replying to this message. 

 

In Scouting,

 

Robert Nakagawa

Cuboree Saturday

All:

Our pack's activity at the Cuboree will be making animal tracks. I am shooting to arrive at 7:30 to set up. If anyone gets this email in time, help is appreciated. 

I'm not sure exactly how this event will work, but I've seen things like it where the boys split up into groups that have leaders (either adults or Boy Scout volunteers). Then, the boys will work their way through stations sponsored by the various packs. Any adults that can peel away and help run ours are appreciated. 

See you there!
