2. 3rd year Cubs

I haven't heard anything yet about the 3rd year cubs and scouts linking activities.
We will have to play it by ear.
If we don't hear anything by Wednesday the 3rd years can treat it as a regular meeting at Bernard Grandmaitre.



3. Upcoming Library Visit

Sometime in the end of April or early May, A-pack will be doing a library visit.

I need to know if your cubs has a current library card, i.e., have they used the library in the last year.

If they don't have a card I will be getting forms so any cubs without cards can get them that night. I'll get the forms beforehand, send them home, and you can fill them out bring them on library night.

2. Upcoming 3rd-Year Cub Events

Scouter Dan extended an invitation and schedule for linking 3rd-year cubs to 1st Manotick Scouts.
It is a big step moving up from a Cub to a Scout. 
3rd-Year Cubs are encouraged to attend the upcoming Scout meetings to get an idea of what occurs at our meeting ... even if they do not plan on advancing up to Scouts. Linking was developed for this purpose, to familiarize 3rd years with the next Section.
We plan on having the following upcoming activities:
  • March 30: We are making a personalized Leather Woggle using the Leather Stamps and Dyes.
  • April 6: Pick a favourite knot and present it.
  • April 13: Participate in a food drive and visit on location an actual food bank. Also prepare for Patrol Cookoff.
  • April 20: Patrol Cookoff at location formerly known as No'Chimik. Cubs would be split amongst Patrols to help create a masterpiece appetizer, entree, dessert to be Judged. Judges to be determined. Nominations to be a judge can be submitted to Susan and Guy. If Cubs are there the week before they will help in the planning of the meal.
  • May 7: Participate in the Bronze Rideau Challenge Journey. The route is from Burritts Rapids to HQ on Flood Road through Marlbourgh Forest. 09:00-15:00. 
I will add these activities to our pack calendar and start co-ordinating with the 3rd year cubs.
