announcements

All: 

There weren't a lot of announcements at the last pack meeting, and I don't think that any were new, if you've been watching your email. Here is the brief list. Upcoming events are on the calendar:  http://www.mauipack14.org/ 

NOTE: Troop 14 is having a car wash fundraiser tomorrow at Longs Drugs in Pukalani from 8am-2pm. Cars are $5 and trucks are $7. 

1) Camp is Feb 17-19. More announcements to come on this, but our big awards ceremony for the year is Saturday evening, so please plan to attend as an entire family, and invite anyone else. 

2) Since we try to give out the awards at camp, please get them finished! The Scouting year is July to June, so you don't absolutely have to finish up by camp, but we do like to leave time to work on electives and awards. 

3) Scout-o-rama is February 11. This is a one-day Council event that is a lot of fun. I totally blew this in the announcements at the pack meeting. For starters, I had the date wrong (I said it was after camp). We will have some sort of activity, and need parents to help run it. More news coming soon. They will have Pinewood Derby. They will also have a raingutter regatta (sailboats), but NOT a spaceship derby. We handed out a bunch of spaceships, but I do not believe they will hold that event. See attachments for more info. 

4) As most of you know, Julian is graduating from Cub Scouts to Boy Scouts next month. As such, I will no longer be the Cubmaster or den leader after that. I will stay involved in the Pack as a committee member, but won't be running events and the other day-to-day things. James (my predecessor) will become the new Cubmaster (again). Since his son finished Cub Scouting long ago and his work schedule can be unpredictable, there will be much greater need for the current parents to step up and run things. While Pack parents have always been great volunteers and helpers, we will need people to step up into roles of organization and leadership.
