MEETING TIMES:
After getting feedback from a majority of the den parents, it is nearly unanimous that the 3:15 to 4:30 time slot works best for everyone. Therefore, we'll proceed with that time slot as our primary meeting time and I will speak with North Boulevard School about securing more dates on their calendar. With the holidays fast approaching and space at a premium, I may have to juggle our December meeting schedule and possibly even do one or two evening meetings. I'll do my best to give you all as much notice as possible.
APPLE PICKING CANCELLED IN ORDER TO ATTEND PACK 144 "Hike-O-Ree":
I learned earlier this week that the Pack 144 Hike-O-Ree is scheduled for 10/18 from 10 AM to 3 PM at Mountainside Park in Pompton Plains. This activity is much better suited to our group at this time and will give us an opportunity to take our tiger scouts on a hike in one of our local parks and meet other cub scouts, webelos and boy scouts and their families. The boy scouts of Troop 144 will be there & will have demonstrations & games for the cubs. I will be leading our den on the hike at 11 AM from the top of Mountain Avenue. Any scout wishing to attend MUST be accompanied by a parent/adult. Cost is free. Detailed information and a map will be distributed at our 10/8 meeting at NBS.
OUR FIRST DEN MEETING ON WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 8 FROM 3:15 to 4:30 PM:
The Tiger Cub Motto is "Search, Discover, Share" and I'm eager to meet your children and introduce them to what I hope will be the most rewarding experiences of their young lives. We will have our first official den meeting at 3:15 PM in the All Purpose Room at North Boulevard School. This meeting will serve as an orientation meeting and I urge everyone who can attend to please do so. I will discuss the basics of scouting as well as what your children can expect to gain from the program. I will also address what will be expected of them and of you (Tiger Cub scouting is a family-focused experience and parental participation is essential). I anticipate we will have great fun this year but to do so I'll need a little help with planning and executing certain activities. As we review the basics next Wednesday, I'll be hoping that several of you will be able to lend a hand on occasion or vounteer your talents and time in order to make your child's experience richly rewarding and to encourage them to stick with scouting beyond year one.
All the best,
Ed Lamoureaux, Tiger Cub Den Leader
