On my honor, I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law;
To help other people at all times; To keep myself physically strong, mentally awake and morally straight.
January 11, 20267:00 pm - 8:00 pm Davanni's, 8061 Flying Cloud Dr, Eden Prairie, MN 55344
Agenda coming soon, but join me in person for pizza!

Please join me and the leaderhips for our first pack planning meeting of the year, tomorrow at 7pm at Davanni's. I moved the location over to Davanni's so I could entice you all with pizza. Please come and eat Pizza. If you need to come with your cub, they could have some pizza too! Joking aside, we have a few important topics for tomorrow's meeting:
Identifying a new Cub Master
PWD
B&G
ICE and Scouting
Our upcoming events:
Jan 17 - 8a Polar Cubs @ Philippo (It's not too late, but ping me soon if you want to join in!)
Jan 22 - 5pm Pack Meeting @ FSMC (18732 Lake Drive East Chanhassen MN, sign up here: http://www.fmsc.org/join-group?joincode=1YDXDW )
Jan 31 - 9a PWD Car Impounding @ Cedar Ridge
Feb 1 - 10a PWD @ EP Mall
Feb 15 - 7pm Parent/Leader planning meeting
Feb 27 - 7pm Blue and Gold @ EP HS South Commons (same as last year)
This time of year is always an inflection point for our pack as our AOLs prepare to cross over and we transition the cubmaster role at B&G. Scouting can and should be a safe haven from the stresses of the world, or at least provide a framework for discussion. Please help make sure our cubs embrace scouting values through the adversities of our time by sharing your counsel with myself and pack leadership.

If you have never packed Manna Bags at FMSC, you are in for a fun time! :
"FMSC offers volunteers a one-of-a-kind experience. You’ll hand-pack rice, soy, dried vegetables and a nutritionally complete blend of vitamins and minerals into bags which are then sealed, boxed, placed on pallets and shipped to incredible partners who distribute the food to children who need it around the world."
"The minimum age for volunteering is 5 years old. For safety reasons, children under the age of 5 are not allowed to participate in packing sessions."
"We require the following adult to child ratios for school and church groups:
Grades K-2: 1 student to 1 adult
Grades 3-6: 3 students to 1 adult
Please note: Everyone under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult (an adult is someone 18 years of age or older)."
"Due to FDA compliance for food manufacturing plants, NO jewelry may be worn in the packing room. Please review our Jewelry Policy and share with fellow volunteers."
