TIGER DEN SCHEDULE:

DEN LEADERS: TIGER CUB PARENTS

All Tiger Cub Parents are required to sign up to lead the Tiger Den in activities for at least two meetings during the year. Please contact Darrin Jordan at 704 239 8120 or djordan@windstream.net to sign up.

THE TIGER DEN WILL BEGIN REGULAR MEETINGS ON SEPTEMBER 22nd. ON THAT DATE, WE WILL HAVE AN IMPORTANT MEETING THAT WILL DESCRIBE THE TIGER PROGRAM HERE AT PACK 254.

THERE ARE A FEW RULES THAT APPLY TO THE TIGER PROGRAM AT PACK 254. PLEASE REVIEW THEM AND LET ME KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.

1. The Tiger Cub must have an adult stay and participate with him during all meetings.

2. The Tiger Cub's parent/adult partner must sign up to be responsible for leading the Tiger Den as the need arises. Obviously the more Tiger Cubs there are, the less your turn will come around. A list will be circulated each week until all spots are filled. You should schedule activity to last at least 45 minutes.

3. The Tiger Cub's parent/adult partner is responsible for reporting to the CubMaster when the Tiger Cub has completed Achievements/Electives. A spread sheet will be provided to report these activities.

"One Saturday Per Month"

This year Pack 254 will have an outing "One Saturday Per Month". These outings may be a trip to a zoo or museum, a camping trip, a trip to Camp Barnhardt for a Council activity like Cub Scout Advancement Day or some other activity that allows Pack 254 to get together for some fun. Our first "One Saturday Per Month" activity was Pack 254's Night at the Intimidators (see the blog below for more details). Upcoming "One Saturday Per Month" activities include a trip on September 25th to the Carolina Raptor Center in Huntersville, a campout in Hillsville, Virginia on October 16th and 17th, Cub Scout Advancement Day in November and the 3rd Annual Cub Scout Cookie Bake on December 18th. More information will be provided about each event as the date gets closer. If you have an idea for a "One Saturday Per Month" activity, please contact Darrin Jordan.

PACK 254 GOES TO SEE THE KANNAPOLIS INTIMIDATORS

Pack 254 spent Saturday evening, August 7th, at the Kannapolis Intimidators' game. The Kannapolis Intimidators provided fireworks by way of 4 homeruns during the game and then there was an after game fireworks display! Twenty-five Cub Scouts, parents siblings and friends came out for a pre-game tailgate party and then stayed to enjoy the game and fireworks. If you were not able to attend, we missed you and hope that you can join us for our next adventure. Keep checking back on our website for more fun!

PACK 254 GENERAL INFORMATION

Below is a list of important information that you and your Scout need to know about the upcoming Scout year. Please read it over with your Scout.

Ø The Scout year will begin for the Wolf, Bear and Webelos Dens on Monday, September 8th. The Tiger Den (1st Graders) will begin Monday, September 22nd.

Ø Scouts must be escorted to their respective Dens each Scout night. This is in case you don’t receive information that the Den is meeting somewhere else on a night.

Ø Scouts must be picked up in the Scout room each night. There is too much traffic in the church parking lot to allow the boys to go up to the parking lot to find you.

Ø The Scouts are to go straight to their Dens when they arrive each week. A CLOSING will be held at approximately 7:50 pm. There will be a time during closing for you to receive important announcements and Parents must be present.

Ø Scouts need to bring their handbooks to each meeting. There is a certain amount of work that CAN and MUST be done at home. Please work with your Scout at home and make sure the Den Leader is aware of what you completed at home. YOUR SCOUT IS ASKED TO WEAR HIS CLASS A UNIFORM TO ALL SCOUT MEETINGS UNLESS HIS DEN LEADERS DIRECT OTHERWISE.

Ø Dues are $1.00 each week and should be paid when you initially check into your Den. It would be great if you would have your Scout do something to earn his $1.00 each week as we are trying to teach our Scouts to earn their way in life.

Ø Attendance and participation is an important and necessary part of Scouts. It is especially important this year as our SCOUTS EARN THEIR WAY TO PAY FOR THE SPRING TRIP.

Ø SPRING TRIP: WE WILL BE GOING TO WASHINGTON, DC THIS YEAR. YOUR SCOUT'S PARTICIPATION IN DEN MEETINGS AS WELL AS FUNDRAISERS IS AN IMPORTANT AND NECESSARY PART OF HELPING THE PACK FUND THIS TRIP.

ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT I AM AVAILABLE AT ANY TIME TO DISCUSS PROBLEMS OR CONCERNS YOU HAVE OR JUST TO ANSWER QUESTIONS. JUST CALL ME (704 239 8120) OR EMAIL ME (DJORDAN@WINDSTREAM.NET).
