Cub Scouts This Week!

Hello Cub Scout Families,

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. Our Pinewood Derby workshop was a lot of fun. I love seeing all the boys designing and working on their cars. A big Thank You to Mr. Bob and Kevin Osborne who helped us set up, and run the workshop and clean up. I am excited to see all the cars race next month. It is going to be a blast.

Den Meetings:
We have regular den meetings this Wednesday at 6:30 in the classrooms at Ruhkala Elementary School.  Please have your son in uniform, with handbook and dues.

Lions Den:
You do not have a meeting this week.

Tiger Den:
Tigers will be meeting at Mr. Scott Seacrist's house, 2206 Hedrick Court in Rocklin, at 6:30 to work on your derby cars.

Pinewood Derby, Saturday, February 9th:
Our Pinewood Derby is a little over two weeks away on Saturday  February 9th, so we wanted to send out some important information. Oh, and if you still need a derby kit, please contact me to arrange a time to pick one up. I will also be bringing some to this week's den meetings.

We will be giving out 1st, 2nd and 3rd place awards for the following:
  - Lion Class
  - Tiger Class
  - Wolf Class
  - Bear Class
  - Webelos 1 Class
  - Webelos 2 Class
  
We also are handing out awards for:
  -  "Fastest" Sibling
  -  "Fastest "Pro Class" - for those parents who want to go all out on their own car
  -  Best Patriotic Design!
  -  Best Scout Design!
  -  Best of Show!
  -  Cubmaster's Pick!

Pinewood Derby Registration:
Wednesday, February 6th, we will be registering all the pinewood derby cars.  A few of our leaders will be heading up the registration. Parents should take their scout to their den meeting first and then meet in the Multi-use room to register their car. Once it passes inspection and is registered, we will collect your car and bring it back on Race Day. There will be a small workshop area set up for you to use if you need to make any necessary adjustments before registering.

To make Race Day go more smoothly we would like all cars to be registered on that Wednesday.

Attached are our all important "Official Pack 102 Pinewood Derby Rules". Please make sure to read these thoroughly.

Parent Help Needed:

In order to make this a fun event that goes smoothly, lots of parent help is needed. We need help with set up and decorations starting at 12pm.  We will also need help with running some tables.  We would like to have a few table for scouts to make derby related crafts. So if you have any cool ideas, please let me know.


Fast Track Hobbies-New Location:

Fast Track has been a great supporter of our Pack for years, donating prizes and gift cards for our a number of our events. So if you need any supplies to make your car look and perform its best,like  paint, racing stripes, weights, etc., please consider shopping at their store. Their new location is at 4420 Granite Dr #400 in Rocklin. I know they would really appreciate your business.


Have a fantastic week!
