Hello Pack 102 Families,
I hope everyone had a nice, relaxing weekend. We have a number of important events going on over the next few weeks, so please bear with me and read through the email for all the pertinent information.
Pancake Breakfast Ticket Sales in Progress:
Our Pack is once again be hosting our Annual Pancake Breakfast, Saturday, May 11th at the Rocklin Community Festival at Johnson-Springview Park from 8am -11am. This is a great fundraiser and an excellent opportunity to help out our Charter Organization, the Kiwanis of Rocklin.
Last week, we handed out 5 pancake breakfast tickets for each scout to sell. The tickets are $5.00 each. We would really like to see every scout sell at least 5 tickets, more would be awesome as this fundraiser helps us pay for some of our summer events. Please turn in all money and any unsold tickets by May 8th. If you didn't receive any tickets or want more than 5, you den leader will have them at this week's meeting or contact me and I can get you some.
Online Pancake Breakfast Ticket Sales:
This year we have set up a form on our Pack's website to help you sell Pancake Breakfast tickets by credit card online as well. This is a great opportunity to use Social Media to help make our fundraiser a success. Just have your friends, family and neighbors go to our website at: www.pack102.com and fill out the form to purchase tickets.
We still really need more parents to sign up to help with set up, cooking, serving and taking down our booth for our Pancake Breakfast.
Set up will start at 7am near the Pavilion at Johnson-Springview Park. We will be serving breakfast from 8am-11am and we will take everything down after. If you have not yet volunteered at a Pack event, this is a very easy one to help with. Please go to our Sign-up site below to sign-up. If you can't be present the entire time that is okay, when you sign up, please put what time you can be present in the notes section.
Thank you for your support.
Pack Promotions Ceremony:
Our Pack Promotions Ceremony and Dessert Social will be on Saturday, May 18th at 6L30pm. This is the time where our Scouts earn their rank badges that they have worked so hard on this year and then get to cross over into their new rank and receive their new uniform items.
The cost of the uniform items which include their new hat, neckerchief, slide and handbook for Scouts advancing into the Tiger, Wolf or Bear dens is $51.00 and for scouts advancing into the Webelos 1 den it is $62.00 and also includes the Webelos colors pin.. If you have a boy going into Kindergarten (Lion) next year who wants to join our Pack, the whole Lion uniform cost including shirt, belt and patches will be $109.00.
Please make checks out to Pack 102 and turn in to your son's den leader or JoAnn Stone by May 8th so there will be enough time to purchase all the uniform items before the ceremony.
Badges & Belt loops:
Parents, please let your den leaders know what Adventure requirements and electives your scouts have completed towards earning their Scout rank by May 8th so we can get it all entered into the council website and purchase all the awards before our Promotions Ceremony. This will be the last chance for your Scout to earn their den rank before crossing over into their new den.
USS Hornet STEM Night Ops Overnighter:
We still have quite a few spots left for our Pack's STEM Night Ops Overnighter on the Aircraft Carrier, the USS Hornet for Saturday, June 8th through Sunday, June 9th..
During the Overnighter, our Scouts will visit select areas of the ship to see various spaces and systems and discuss the science and engineering behind them. As we move around the ship, they will participate in several hands-on science stations and demonstrations by our STEM Team to illustrate the science behind USS Hornet.
The cost is $70.00 per person. Each scout must be accompanied by at least one parent. All STEM Night Ops Guests must be at least 6 years old. Siblings can also attend for an additional $10 for insurance since our council's insurance does not cover them.
To sign up go to our Sign-up Genius page at: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c094ca4ac22a6f49-usshornet . Please turn in your payment no later than Wednesday, May 8th.
Attached is the USS Hornet Live Aboard Information Packet. It will answer many questions that you might have.
This is always a super awesome event that our Scouts love going to. You won't want to miss.it.
Have a fantastic week!
Miss JoAnn
