Dear Scouts and Parents,

 

Hopefully those who attended Sunday night’s showing of ‘The Lion King’ enjoyed the showing despite the seating challenges.  While seating left a great deal to be desired I do believe the outing was a success in having a fun time for our Scouts and family.

 

We will be together again this Friday to attend the Phillies opening game.  We will be publishing details for that event soon.  Again, we had an enormous amount of interest and turn out and another sell-out event. I do want to thank Mr. Victor Morrow, President of our Parents Committee for his outstanding working in coordinating this event.

 

This was a very rare occasion when a parent has stepped forward and handled an entire event from beginning to end.  He did all of the administrative and coordination work and it was greatly appreciated.

 

I need to also take the time to thank Mr. Darwin Beauvais and Mr. Joel Wilson.  These two gentlemen and Cub parents have stepped forward to become our temporary Cub Leaders.  They will complete the last two hours of training to become fully fledged trained Den Leaders.  They have already taken reins of the Cub program and are running with it.

 

To all of the other parents who have chipped in this year I want to thank you also.  This has been one of the most challenging years I have had in leading the program, but all of the parents who are helping us succeed are making the job easier.  I cannot thank you enough for your support.   Thank you for your patience and thank you for your support of Scouting,

 

As a reminder, there will be no meeting this Saturday 3 April due to the Easter holiday.  To our Jewish friends Happy Passover!

 

Yours in Scouting,

Dear Cubs and Parents,

 

Congratulations to all of the participants in last weeks, District Pinewood Derby.  Cub Alex Morrow among others brought home a trophy to Pack 133.  I was asked about a “national” or next level Pinewood Derby race.  Unfortunately there are no other competitions beyond the district.  I did find out that last year in North Carolina, there was a “National Pinewood Derby” contest, but there is no information on a 2010 ‘national race’.

 

I am delighted that so many of you enjoyed the Pinewood Derby race.  If we can’t wait till next year, we will look at a ‘Spring Invitational’ where we will conduct another race and open it up to other Packs to join us.  We can discuss at our next Parents Meeting.

 

Yours in Scouting,

Dear Scouts and Parents,

I am happy to report to you that Ms. Williamson, Den Leader has left the
hospital and is recuperating at her parent's home. Mr. Stephen Stanley came
home on Saturday.

To my surprise Mr. Stanley, who should have been confined to quarters,
meaning staying at home, showed up at our meeting on Saturday. He is still
recovering, but his spirits are high and he's determined to come back
stronger than ever.

Thank you for keeping our leaders in your prayers.

Yours in Scouting,

Dear Parents,

As you know I put out a call for some Temporary Cub Leaders to cover the vacancies of Mr. Stephen Stanley our Webelos Leader and Ms. Williamson our Den Leaders for the remainder of the year. Some of you have already responded.

For those of you who have answered the call or for those of who are still considering, training will start this Friday night 19 March at the Church at 7:00 p.m. This will be the youth protection session. This is good training for all parents, however this session will be geared toward leaders, but even if you don't think you are ready for that step but just want to learn more, come on out.

This session should last no more than 2.0 hours. The entire leadership training should take no more than 6-8 hours. If you have not indicating you are planning to come, but will do so please let me know.

Thank you,

Yours in Scouting,

Subject: Request for Temporary Leaders

Dear Parents,   I was informed this week by Ms. Stephanie Williamson our Den Leader that she was going into the hospital for some major surgery.  Her surgery date was yesterday at the University of PA.  I have not checked in on her just yet.   However, she informed me that as a result of needing time to recover she will be out for the rest of the year.  I am anticipating that both she and Mr. Stanley will not be back until September or the new Scout year.   To complete this Scout year I have a plan.  I am asking for three to four parents, minimum to step in to be temporary leaders.  As temporary leaders, you will fulfill specific positions.  For each position I would like to have a minimum of two parents per position to allow you to switch off from week to week.   I will train you and provide you weekly instructions on what to do for each meeting.  You just need to do to attend all of the required training, approximately 6 to 8 hours, and commit to what weekends you can step in.   As temporary leaders you will not need to get a uniform and it will be just for this Scout year.  The instructions I give you will allow you to follow a defined meeting plan, but you will have the latitude to come up with your own meeting plans per the theme or goal.   The training will be broken up into sessions.  I will conduct some sessions on a Friday night and the other sessions on Saturday morning.  Each session I will conduct twice if necessary if everybody who is coming cannot make a session.  I have requested the training materials from Council and if possible, I would like to start training on 19 March Friday evening starting at 7:00-9:00 p.m.   The leadership positions are as follows;         Tiger Cub Den Leader         Wolf Den Leader         Bear Den Leader   If you are interested in being a temporary leader send me an e-mail and which position you would like to fulfill. For all other parents, I will be conducting training on the Scout/Parent/Pack Committee and the role of the committee.  Thank you for your help.    Yours in Scouting,     J.R.
