Hi All,

Just a reminder that we will be having our next pack meeting on Tuesday, November 15.
We will be at the Brookvale Elementary MUR (gym), starting at 7 pm.

If you can arrive earlier, that would be appreciated to help set up the room.

Also, I will have some leather pieces and punches set up so that the scouts can make designs or whatever (before the pack meeting).

Webelos 1 (Den 5) will be doing the flag ceremonies.
Bears (Den 4) will be handling tickets for the raffle
Wolf 1 (Den 3) will be performing a skit or song for us
Wolf 2 (Den 6) and Tigers (Den 2) will be bringing desserts for the raffle

Please be prompt.

Regards,
Robert Cook
Cubmaster, Pack 163

Dinner Details

The pack will be providing the dinner: turkey hot dogs and beef hamburgers. If you want to bring something else for dinner you are free to do so. Just let me know so that I can take that into consideration for menu planning.

The following (current) dens were asked to bring something: Coordinate with your den leaders

Webelos: Drinks. This could be additional water, punch, lemonade, sodas ( I have a case of water available )
Bears: Fruit for early snacks and for breakfast the next morning (Sunday)
Wolf: Dessert
Tigers (both): Salads

I will set up for making Root Beer starting after the Bridging ceremony.

I will also be making a Dutch Over cobbler (maybe two) after dinner.

Jim Dalton will be bringing breakfast food: pastries, OJ, etc. There will be coffee and I will be making a Mountain Man Breakfast in my Dutch Oven (tater tots, sausage, eggs, cheese).

Bring a chair to sit on. Dress appropriately for some wind and cold.

About Dairy Glen

Parking is in the Quarry Staging Area parking lot (not near the visitor center). It is a short walk on paved trail to the Dairy Glen campground. One car at a time may be driven on the trail to the campground, so plan on unloading quickly and then turning around to go back to the parking lot. We have a number of parking passes, and additional ones may be purchased for a nominal fee.
