Down to the Wire!

The Scouts hit the hardwood at ASU's Wells Fargo Arena! Stephen Ponder hit a BIG 3-pointer tonight with his wonderfully orchestrated ASU Basketball game. The Scouts were recognized on the court during half time (they were thrilled to see themselves on the Jumbo-Tron) and they got to meet the players after the game. What a wonderful family outing. Scouting is FUN!!!

No Den Meetings for 2 Weeks: Next Den Meeting on Jan. 4

We are on Christmas Vacation! No Den Meetings for the next two weeks.

We will, however, meet on Monday, January 4 at our normal time: 6:30pm at the church. On that day, we will probably do a little bit of preliminary work on our Pinewood Derby cars. We'll have some basic outlines for the boys to choose from and they can use those to prep their cars for step two: an initial cut. Chuck Canode has graciously offered to use his band saw to make the initial cut one Saturday afternoon in January. We'll probably try to stagger things so that Scouts can show up between a certain period of time and Chuck will make the cut. The boy can then sand, paint, and prep the car for the big race. Of course, if your Scout has a handy dad feel free to start working on the cars any time.

The Pinewood Derby is on Saturday, January 23 in the afternoon.

Tigers on Ice!

They may not be ready to form their own hockey team, but our Tiger Scouts sure were a sight out on the ice. They all did their best to learn a new sport and they all earned their Ice Skating Belt Loop! We hope everybody had an "ice" time!

Pinewood Derby Cars at Next Pack Meeting

One of Santa's helpers will be at this Monday's Pack Meeting (on December 14 at 7:00pm) handing out the Scout's Pinewood Derby Cars. (Preparing the cars is quite a project, so they need to be handed out this month). The Derby is on Saturday, January 23. The Pack buys each boy one car. Extra cars can be purchased for about $5. We are going to try and set up a "woodworking" workshop one afternoon with some of the more "handy" dads leading the workshop.

Chandler Parade of Lights!!

The Tigers had a terrific time marching in the cold weather! We had Nathan, Benjamin, Carson, Gavin, Kaydon, Michael, and Andrew all decked out in lights--not to mention their fearless leader Earle!

Ice Skating Tonight! No Uniforms!

Dress warm and comfortable. No need for uniforms. See you tonight at 5:45!

ONE OTHER THING:

We have a Pack Meeting on Monday, Dec. 14 at 7 pm. I am trying to work it out so that all of the Scouts will receive their Pinewood Derby cars at the Pack Meeting. The Pack pays for the cars, so all your Scout needs to do is be at the meeting and pick up his car.
