Upcoming Dates

Hi all, 

We have now reserved Camp Olowalu for sure. We had a little back & forth with the deposit, so sorry it took so long to say we have that date 100% for sure. They have comp'ed us the last 2 years. While there is no promise they'll do so this year, we can't expect them to turn away paying customers while comp'ing us at the same time, so hopefully that explains the last-minute nature of reserving the date...

-- The Camp-out is noon Saturday to noon Sunday (22nd - 23rd). You can go early or stay late and hang out on the beach (or do whatever), but noon is both check-in and check-out for using the camp facilities. Details coming at the pack meeting. 

I will reserve a date for the water/golf park for the Christmas party. We usually do that right before people really start travelling for vacations in mid-Dec. 

Pinewood Derby 2012 is JAN 14. We will do our pack meeting on Friday, JAN 13 and have the track set up for trials. 

PARENTS: Setting up the track is ancient cub scout lore passed down from generation to generation. It ain't rocket science, nor is it simple. We will set it up about 3pm on Friday, Jan 13. I do not believe any Tiger, Wolf, Bear, or Webelos 1 parent has ever helped with the setup! If you want to hold a pinewood derby in 2013, I suggest you learn how in 2012. 

The rest of the dates for 2012 are now reserved, added to the pack calendar, and the Parks & Rec facility permits are scanned and posted on the documents page of the website.

There are four main things pending for 2012 dates that I can think of: 

-- Spring camp-out. We usually shoot for President's Day weekend (2/17- 2/19/2012). Camp is available then, but I haven't reserved it yet. 

-- Council events: We'll tell you as soon as we find out. Plan on Scoutorama in the spring, day camp in early June (3 weekdays), Webelos overnighter (usually first Sat-Sun in July), and then the fall events you've seen so far this year. 

-- Fall camp-out (Camp Olowalu, or wherever). Julian will have graduated and I'll be moving on, so parents will have to arrange this. 

-- Popcorn sales

I also reserved us for Keokea Park for an end-of-year party June 01.
