We will carpool and caravan, scouts and parents, from one assisted living center to the next, until about 7 pm. Then we will all convene back at the church for cookies, hot cocoa, advancements, and GIVING OUT THE POPCORN PRIZES. Two of our scouts won prizes in the Council-wide give-aways.
ITINERARY:
5 pm: Meet at the Church, get music books for carolling from Leslie Bates. Carpool and caravan to these assisted living centers:

Leslie will have the exact order and a sheet with the addresses for each place.
7pm: Reconvene at the church basement for our Pack meeting. We will have hot cocoa and cookies, advancements, popcorn prizes, checks for top sellers, and two special prizes for boys who won items from the Council-wide drawings.
This will be the last event we have until January. In January, we will have our edible snowman contest and a little thing we do called the Pinewood Derby!

The Christmas Parade
First, I want to thank everyone who participated. We had a great turn out. Scouts, our float took 3rd place in the float judging! That is awesome! This is the first time we ever even placed in the judging. The judges later told us that it was the enthusiasm, smiles, waves, and wishes of "Merry Christmas" that came from the boys that made the difference for them. So CONGRATULATIONS EVERYBODY!
Here are some photos from the parade:

Schedule of Events....
First, thank you to all scouts and parents who made our float construction go so smoothly! I especially want to thank Mike and Melissa Rushing for allowing us to take up their garage space for the next few weeks.
Yesterday, Tuesday the 24th, was our popcorn turn in date. Almost everyone turned in their popcorn sales, which was greatly appreciated. If you have not turned in your popcorn sales, please turn your money and order forms into Lisa Gower, at Creations the Florist in Metropolis. In the next few days, I will be calling all folks who have not turned in popcorn money or had undeliverable popcorn. I will help get that popcorn sold or delivered!
Our next events include your regular den meetings, and then on December 5th, Saturday, we will walk and ride with our float in the Metropolis Christmas Parade. We need to meet at Washington Park (across from the Library) at 12:30. The parade will end by the new firestation (across from the Save-A-Lot). Parents, if you are not walking in the parade with your scout, please meet us at the end of the parade route. One of the scout leaders will be with the boys in the Save-A-Lot parking lot. Also, if you want your scout to throw candy, please supply them with their own bag of individually wrapped candies to throw.
On December 15th, Tuesday, we will have our December Pack meeting and will also go Christmas Caroling to the different assisted living centers in town. The plan is as follows: At approximately 5 pm, we will carpool and carvan our Pack to the different assisted living centers, and sing Christmas carols to the residents. At approximately 7 pm, we will return to the UM Church basement and have our Pack meeting, eat hot cocoa and cookies, hand out any advancements and awards, and give the boys any prizes earned for popcorn sales, including cash awards. Then, we are officially off for the rest of the month of December. We will begin den meetings again starting the first full week of January.
In January: The Pinewood Derby! If you want to get a look at our Pinewood Derby, please look through the archives of the website. It is probably the biggest event for the boys, and one they deserve after they have worked so hard to progress through their ranks, and have successfully completed our fund raiser to provide a great program for the rest of the year.
Also in January, we will have our edible snowman contest, in which each den makes a snowman, either by itself or in a scene, but everything in it must be edible! The winning den will get a pizza party courtesy of Pack 101!
I'll see you all at the Christmas Parade,
Roger

Popcorn is in...
Leaders and parents,
Popcorn is in. If you are going to get your popcorn from your leader, that's great. You can also come by my house and pick it up. I will be home Sunday afternoon. My address in 113 Lindsey.

October Pack Meeting
Every year, we have a terrific October Pack Meeting. We spend the month building new games or repairing our old games. Then, for our Pack meeting, we get to play all of the games and have a great time. This year was no exception. All the boys enjoyed themselves, there were some great costumes, and plenty of candy for everyone!
Thank you everyone for making this year's Halloween Pack Meeting one of the best ever.

Popcorn Take Order
Scouts, we have accomplished a great task! We have completed the take order portion of our popcorn sale. We took over $15,000 in sales, which means that after we complete the sale, a portion of that money will be available to us to put on the best program we can.
Thank you!
Thank you!
