We just had our Blue and Gold dinner tonight.  We had approximately 110 in attendance!  Our Webelos II spent their last evening as a Cub Scout and crossed over during their Arrow of Light Ceremony.  Special guests from Troop 480 and Troop 54 were in attendance to welcome them to Boy Scouting.  I hope they all choose to join one of our two local Boy Scout Troops and wish them luck in all they explore in their futures.  The food was good, and the entertainment was fantastic.  Rainforest Reptiles brought lots of facinating animals - we learned a lot about them while having fun.  There was a tortise, a really really big snake, a monitor lizard and an endangered aligator who was extremely facinating and cool looking.

We had our annual pinewood derby - and I believe the boys had a great time.  Lots of good racing and awesome cars !  The overall winners for the pack were Tyler, Michael and Jake.  The top three places for each rank are eligible to race in the district races later in March.  Good luck to all who particpate!

I apologize for not getting more updates listed.
We recently had Movie Night - and the boys who were able to attend got to have some pizza and watch a great move.

Coming soon is our Pinewood Derby on February 5/6, and our Blue and Gold dinner February 19th.

Our Bears recently got to visit the local jail - looks like it was a lot of fun !  They even got to see the INSIDE of the jail .... YIKES !

Pack 54 participated in the Rock Cats Scout night - an overnight on the baseball field.  Our numbers were small but our spirit was large !  The boys got to walk around the field in a parade of colors - got to "hi-5" many of the players in the dugouts - and then lined up on the field to help lead with the National Anthem.  After the game there was a movie on the field's big screen and all the scouts were allowed to set up tents.  Unfortunately, no one in our group was able to spend the night - maybe next time !  The boys all wanted to but due to busy summer schedules, it just wasnt in the cards this time around.

We had out camping trip and raingutter regatta.  It was a lot of fun even if we did get rained out.  The regatta had a few glitches, but overall the boys seemed to enjoy it.  Hopefully next year we'll have a better "handle" on it LOL.  We managed to get in a quick smore before the T-storms rolled in and decided to stay.  But, most of the boys also had a lot of fun running around in the rain ... so not a complete wash out.

All the boys in the pack participated in Cross-overs and are now continuing on their trail.  Congratulations and good luck in the coming year !

We also attended an overnight at Battleship Cove.  The boys got to spend the night on a Destroyer - and were able to watch a move or wander around the ships at their leisure.  It was really cool to be on the ships at night !

Our Webelos II crossed over to Boy Scouts - we wish them luck as they move on and we will miss seeing their faces at our meetings, but we will welcome new faces in the fall ...

News from our Tiger Den:
Our Tigers receintly visited our Firehouse and got a first hand look at some of the trucks and equipment.  Along on the trip were four boys interested in joining scouting - so I lookforward to seeing more of them.  Fire Chief Janet Morgan was present - and invited the Tigers to return to see them practice using their new Jaws of Life on three donated cars.  Sounds like lots of fun !  All in all , there were twelve children who got to participate.
Way to go, Tigers, on your Go-See-It.

Den 10 had their meeting and discovered some science !
They discussed how to make maple syrup - and learned that a potato creates the same amount of energy as an AA batery.  And if you need proof - just check out the photo above.  One clock is running on a regular alkeline battery, the other - well - as you can see - is runnin via potato power !  Pretty cool, eh ?  Now they want to see how long it will last !

Want to try it yourself ?  See the "Links" page for directions.

We held our Pinewood Derby on Saturday, March 8th.  It was a great day of racing despite the heavy rain and being postponed twice - yes twice - due to snow and ice.  The boys seemed to enjoy the friendly competition and there were lots of creative ideas put to work in building cars.  I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with next year.  Boy Scouts from both Troop 54 and Troop 480 were present to lend a helping had as well as the many parent volunteers.




We also had a lot of fun running our parent/leader race.  Its great to have the parents particpate - and earn some bragging rights as to who has the best car.

Parent Leader Race Standings:
1st Place - John            7th Place - Karen
2n Place - Tracy            8th Place - John
3rd Place - Mark            9th Place - Tricia
4th Place - Diana          10th Place - Dorothy
5th Place - Maria           11th Place - Monica
6th Place - Scott           12th Place - Mark

I'd like to thank all of those who volunteered their time - without this help, these events would not be possible.As always, we also had our 15th annual Business Challenge Cup.  Many local businesses showed their support to the pack and came out to race.  The competition for this race is a little more intese between some of the "regulars" - and the cars they built were incredible.  The top speed of some of these cars was around the 2.48 second mark on a 30ft track.  We had 33 businesses participate this year.  Down from approximately 43 last year.  Hopefully some of them will come back to race again.  The food is good, the company is fun - and the entertainment lively ... what more could you ask for !

Special thanks to our many volunteers:
Scout Races: Gary, Tracy, Zach, Sam, Joe, Tracy, Diana, Peter, Monica, Karen, Mark, Mark, Dan, Nancy, Darcel, Ryan and the Boy Scouts whos names escape me (sorry !)
Business Challenge: Gary, Tracy, Tracy, Diana, Ray, Dan, Monica, Nancy,  Joe and again, those helpful Boy Scouts.
I hope I haven't missed anyone, but if I did, I am truly sorry - let me know and I'll add you on :)
