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 year2nd grade - Wolves - den #3 - Hiroko Ward - hiro@bamboochan.com3rd grade - Bears - den #1 - Jonathon Yudis - priorityearth@gmail.com4th 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.orgWe 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, DavidDavid Askov
