Cub Scouts This Week!

Hello Pack Families,

I hope everyone had a great weekend.

Den Meetings:
We have regular den meetings this Wednesday at 6:30 in the classrooms at Ruhkala Elementary.

Lions Den and Mr. Jason's Webelos Den, you will not be meeting this week.

Annual Rocket Derby - Help Needed:
We are very excited about our Rocket Derby coming up on Friday, April 26th
from 6:00pm - 8:00pm at St. Matthew Lutheran Church, 5901 Lonetree Blvd. in Rocklin.

This is such a super fun event where the kids will build and launch their own rockets. There will be a bounce house and giant slide, face painting station, games/crafts, ball launching station, and snack bar. This is a great time to invite your friends and family to introduce them to all the fun we have with scouting.
 
So, to make this successful, we are looking for parents to help us out with the following:

Set-up: We will start setting everything up on the church grounds at 4:00pm.

Running Stations: There are several places we could use some grown up help: helping  in the rocket launch area to help keep everyone safe, helping man the ball launcher or supervising the bounce house area, and other games.

Craft Tables: Calling all artistic and crafty parents. We need parents to help us at our  rocket making table and especially our face painting table so if you can paint simple designs, we have the supplies for you.

Snack Bar: The pack will be selling hamburgers, hot dogs, chips, sodas, candy and snow cones as a fundraiser. We need help with running the snack bar.

Grilling: If you want to show off your grilling skills we are looking for a couple of parents to help with cooking the hamburgers and hot dogs.

Take down and clean-up: Helping take down all the equipment, cleaning up and loading the trailer back up.
 
If you are able to help with any of the above items, please sign-up on our site at:

Important: 20 oz. Soda Bottles Needed:  Don't forget to start saving your soda bottles this week.  Be sure to bring one for your own kids, but if you have extras or have a source for 20oz. soda bottles, please bring those along to share.  Water bottles don't work well for rockets. The 20 oz. soda bottles work the best. 

Many hands make light work. Your participation will make this year's Rocket Derby a great success and an awesome time for our Pack family..

USS Hornet STEM Night Ops Overnighter:
We have scheduled our pack to participate in an STEM Night Ops Overnighter on the Aircraft Carrier, the USS Hornet for Saturday, June 8th through Sunday, June 9th..

As an active naval aircraft carrier from 1943 to 1970, the USS Hornet, among its assignments, served in World War II and Vietnam.

Now an official National Historic Landmark, the ship is docked in Alameda as the USS Hornet Museum. Though the Hornet is long past its active years, visitors still can get a taste of the its history. They get an even better feel of life aboard the ship when they participate in the USS Hornet STEM Night Ops Program.

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 $80.00 per person. Each scout must be accompanied by at least one parent. All STEM Night Ops Guests must be at least 7 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 will be a really awesome event you won't want to miss.

Have a fantastic rest of your week.

Miss JoAnn
