News You Can Use --- St. Mary Magdalen Pack 18 --- March News

Congratulations on a successful annual Blue and Gold Dinner!

First of all, we want to thank you all for a memorable Blue and Gold Banquet that was orchestrated by the Web1 and Bear Den 3, and especially the following individuals: Paul and Joyce Crocker, Heidi and Johnny Barrett, Marie Jackson, Ann Marie del Rosario, and Rob and Lisa Andrews.

Friends of Scouting: If you have not had a chance to participate, then please contact Catherine Bui at (425)347-1196 or your den leader to pledge. No payment is needed at this time. Friends of Scouting and our popcorn sales are what keep camp costs low in the summer. We’re paying very little for a several days of fun because of these funds and because of volunteers like you! It takes a village to raise a child, indeed!

Day Camp: Payment for children attending day camp at Silver Lake is due at the next den meeting on 3/12. Only $25 per Cub for a whole week fun filled activities! The Silver Lake camps are held on different weeks this summer. One is a day camp, held in the morning, and one is a twilight camp, which goes from 5pm til nearly 9pm. Contact your den leader if you have not received the applications. You can also sign up siblings for “Tag-a-Long” camp, both boy and girl, as long as they are no longer in diapers. It’s a great experience for all!

Day Camp is August 17-20th
Twilight Camp is July 20-24th
Resident (overnight) camp for Webelos is July 7-11th and will be addressed later this year.

Den Meeting: Thursday, March 12, 5:00 pm. Let your den leader know if your Cubs have any accomplishments, especially Rank Advancement.

Pack Meeting: On Thursday, March 26th, we’ll be having our annual Pinewood Derby. Don’t forget to start on those cars, soon, and siblings may also make cars, though they cannot enter the official races. The evening of Wednesday, March 25th, there will be a “weigh-in”, usually in one of the portables. If your cub wants to race, they must bring their car to the weigh-in and leave it overnight so all will be fair for the next day’s races. Please bring the car in a labeled container. Shoeboxes are great for this.

Service Project: Serve Soup Supper on Friday, March 13 from 4:30 pm – 6:30 pm in the Parish Hall. Cubs who wear their uniform and serve will receive an award segment. Just show up at the right time and place if you are able to help.
