May 2009 Announcements

Important Announcements: 1. The Tuesday Den Meetings have been changed. Due to so many of our scouts being involved in sports for the Summer season, we have decided to switch our meeting times to Saturdays at 6:30. We are hoping that the 6:30pm time will allow those in baseball to finish with their Saturday games. We apoligize for the inconvenience for the schedule switch. Our times will switch back to Tuesdays once school starts again. Den Meetings are now on Saturday's at 6:30 pm, unless otherwise notified for field trips. 2. Cub Scout Camp Registration Cub Scout Camp will be held at Mooney Grove Park from June 15-19 from 8:00am-12:30pm each day. The cost is $55.00 per boy ($85 if paid after June 8th). We will not be sleeping overnight but driving up each day for any of the boys who want to go. Parents will be required to pay the registration fee. Please download a copy of the registration form and turn it in to Jeff and Janele Stratton for the Cubs or Matt McCracken and Bob Sundre for the Bears. We need to know how many boys are interested in going so that we can make arrangements for transportation. Parents are welcome to come along of course. The Link for the registration form is http://www.seqbsa.org/PDFS/Events/09CubDayCamp.pdf 3. 2009 Webelos Adventure Camp-An outdoor adventure for Webelos and Parents Get a jump-start on being a Boy Scout by participating in Webeloree, a 3-day/2-night adventure for Webelos and their parents and/or leaders. Boys and their parents will experience the outdoors in an actual Boy Scout camp setting at Camp Chawanakee on Shaver Lake. Don’t miss out on the ultimate Webelos Adventure. The camp is from June 11-June15, 09. For more information check out the website http://www.seqbsa.org/Webeloree.htm . 4. Fresno Grizzlies-A Salute to Scouts Night (Our pack doesn't have plans to attend however this would be a fun activity for your family to go to.)

Opening day is right around the corner and as baseball returns, so does the growing tradition of "Salute to Scouts Night" at Chukchansi Park. The Fresno Grizzlies would like to invite all Scouts and their family and friends to celebrate this exciting event on Friday, May 29th as the Grizzlies take on the Portland Beavers, triple-A affiliate of the San Diego Padres. On this special tribute night Scouts can participate in a pre-game parade and we will also recieve scoreboard recognition. The first 400 scouts to reserve tickets with their Scout Leaders get an official "Salute to Scouts Night" patch. So we need to get the money from everyone to buy our tickets ASAP. Game tickets are availabe for $9.00 each. Please order them through your scout leader because only one order form is sent in for our Pack, so that we can all sit together.

About the Parade: All the scouts participating in the parade should enter through Gate 3 (Inyo and H Street) at 5:35 and gather in the plaza just inside the gate. We have our banner and it will be fun to have the boys use that. The boys need to be in full uniform. All the boys need to stay with our unit. The Pack will parade together in order to be announced. Participants must be in the plaza by 6pm or they will not be able to be in the parade.
