At the March Pack Meeting, we handed out the boat kits for the Raingutter Regatta. If your scout needs a boat kit, please ask for one from your Den Leader. Please do so right away, because if we need to order more kits, I'll have to do that very soon.
In April, we will have our kite flying contest. The kites we make are all built by hand: NO STORE BOUGHT kites allowed. You can make your kites out of just about anything: newspaper, sticks, visqueen, foil paper, straws, dowel rods, mylar, you name it.
On Tuesday, April 8th, from 6-7pm, we will hold a kite building workshop at the UM Church basement. Please bring your materials and we will help you if you do not have a lot of experience making kites.
Here is a good website with lots of kite designs, some simple, some extremely complex:

The kite flying contest will also be our April Pack Meeting. We will hold the meeting on Saturday, April 19th, starting at 10 am. We will meet at the pavillion by Trout pond in Massac Park. After the contest, we will award prizes, and have a cookout. We should be done by noon or so.
Our rain date for the event is Sunday, April 20th, at 2 pm.
LEADERS: We will hold our next leader's meeting after the kite building workshop, on April 8th, at approximately 7 pm.
See you then,
Roger
