All: Please be in prayer for the Daniel family as they travel to China next week to pick up their new son, Josiah. You may read more about their journey at lovetakesyouin.com.
Cubs: In John’s absence, we could really use help in the following events: Blue and Gold Banquet (in February) the Pinewood Derby Race, 3/13, and the Family Campout in April or May. Please let John know what you can do. His email address is j.daniel@scouts131.com. Read this month’s newsletter here.
Bears: Tonight we talked about resolutions: what it means and what we can do better as scouts in the area of our country, family and God. We also met our game requirement by playing Whoonu it!
Webelos: We worked on our traveler badge. Learned how to plan trips, read maps, book tickets.
Boy Scouts: Our focus this week and next will be training for the camporee next weekend, 1/15-1/16 at Camp Ford. Tonight we also planned our meals. Your scout knows what he needs to bring for food. He should also remember to bring the usual camping equipment- only tents and cooking equipment are provided. The boys chose “Campus Orientation” as the event to lead for the camporee. James is getting the supplies for this station, but may need help. Look for an email from him soon.
Looking ahead:
- The Merit Badge Workshop will be on February 19-20, ending at 5pm on the 20th. We must complete signups and register by FEB 2.The Signup Sheet for the 2010 Feb. Merit Badge Workshop is at: http://tinyurl.com/ycn4kty
- DADS: Please prayerfully consider a leadership role in Boy Scouts. You don’t need any special skills, just come and learn with the boys! We wouldn’t want James to be the “Lone Ranger”! On that note, summer camp has a HUGE need. We need 1 more dad (besides James) to go. We know it is a big commitment to make (having to take a week off from work). The boys cannot go to camp unless there are 2 leaders. We plan on going the 1st week of camp (early June).
