On Saturday evening (4/13) we will meet as a pack at the Stewart International Airport Terminal in Newburgh, NY for the HudsonValleyHonorFlight Welcome Home Rally.
Is Santa a Scout? One just needs to examine how he stacks up against the scout law:
Trustworthy – You certainly can trust that Santa will show up every year.
Loyal – He’s very dedicated to his craft and his mission. Imagine the disappointment if he wasn’t loyal to his work.
Helpful – He saves many a dad from last-minute shopping. Dads are notorious for leaving things to the last minute. Just ask mom.
Friendly- How many adults would let a zillion kids sit on their lap and listen to what they want and smile doing it?
Courteous – He always says thanks for the 62 billion calories he gets in milk and cookies each year.
Kind – Delivering gifts to children is a great act of kindness.
Obedient – I emailed Mrs. Clause on this one. No reply, but saying he’s been married for all those years, I’m going to bet he does what she tells him.
Cheerful – Ho, Ho, Ho! Need I say more?
Thrifty – Santa makes his own toys. That saves a bundle on shipping alone.
Brave – Would you get in a magic sleigh pulled by reindeer and fly? Me neither.
Clean – I’m not sure how he does it, but that red suit looks great even after the millionth chimney.
Reverent – Santa does his thing on a special night as part of a very religious holiday.
So, is Santa Claus a Scout? For sure. This time of year no matter what holiday you celebrate, remember that doing your best and living the scout oath and scout law are what makes each of us really a Scout.
Hi everyone, A quick reminder - as discussed at the December Pack Meeting - this month due to the holiday our Pack meeting will be 1/27.
In preparation for our Blue and Gold next month, our decorating committee has asked if anyone has or can collect empty paper towel and toilet paper rolls, they would like you to bring them to us for repurposing. :) You can give them to myself, Daryl or Michele whenever it's convenient. Thanks!
Weather permitting, we're tentatively planning a short pack hike for February 2nd - time and location, tbd.
Thank you to everyone who completed the summer camp survey, the leaders are now reviewing the results, stay tuned.
We will soon be releasing sign-ups for the potluck items for the blue and gold; stay tuned.
Please read this entire email, there is a lot of information pertaining to the next several months of scouting activities. I'll try to go in chronological order.
