Tiger Den List and Canoe Trip links
Tiger parents and families --
This is a quick reminder that after storm and power outages set us back a bit, we are having our first monthly Pack meeting of the school year Thursday night, Sept. 25, at 7 pm in the multipurpose room of Granville Elementary School. Normally, the large group gathering of a "Pack" meeting is always the third Thursday of the month, but last week wasn't in the cards!
October 4 is our Pack 3 Family Canoeing day up at Mohican outside of Loudonville, with groups pushing off at 9 am and at 2 pm (come for either, or both); the large group camping area is reserved for our Pack and Scout Troop 65 in Mohican State Park for Friday night Oct. 3 and Sat. night Oct. 4, and you may come pitch your tent with us without reservation. We are trying to get a count for the canoeing slots, and the Cubs are "free" while adults and siblings are regular rates, which we collect at the Mohican Canoe Livery (see http://www.mohicancanoe.com/river-trips.html -- we do Trip #1). There will be a flyer at the Pack meeting, along with info on our planned trip to The Wilds on the October 17 Friday teacher in-service day.
We plan to start with a flag ceremony, general announcements, some singing, and then the boys will go outside for a real "blast" with the Boy Scouts launching some model rockets while the parents stay back for some further organizational info.
For anyone still wanting to join through the fall, $40 is the whole school year's dues/registration, plus $12 for Boys Life magazine, and we will distribute the Popcorn/Greens sale info, which is our only fundraiser along with dues that we collect.
Den lists are below, and we'll see you at GES at 7:00 pm tomorrow! If you can't make it and have questions, e-mail me back, or call 587-4245.
Yours in Scouting,
Jeff Gill

Pack Meeting -- Thursday, Sept. 25
Just got the word from Granville Schools --
Dear Parents,
AEP was not able to restore power to Granville Elementary School. GES will be closed on September 18. The other schools have power and will be open.
AEP predicts GES will have power restored at some point in the day on Thursday. You will receive more updates as we learn about AEP's progress.
* * *
Cubmaster Al and i will be in the parking lot for anyone who shows up, and there may even be a game of "Steal the Bacon" in the side yard!
But our official first Pack Meeting of school year '08-'09 will be one week later, Thursday, Sept. 25, at 7:00 pm. See you then!

Breaking News!
Our Pack meeting to start the school year that would be Thursday, Sept. 18, may have to be moved to Thursday, Sept. 25. Our normal plan is that if there is no school during the day (usually snow days, but still), then we don't have Pack meeting.
Odds are 50-50 for school Thursday, so I have begun to ask for the permissions to shift this month to the fourth Thursday, Sept. 25. Stay tuned for more updates.
Meanwhile, for today, Sept. 17 -- Happy Constitution Day!
Sen. Robert Byrd and i agree on very little, except on this day, and its significance.
July 4th is not only the wrong day to celebrate the Declaration of Independence (you could go with July 2 or 8 just as accurately, first reading and vote on 2nd, most signed it on the 8th), but as for the day we began to be the country that we are, we have been, and that we might just yet fulfill, Sept. 17 is THE day -- the day the Constitution was officially voted into existence under the preamble: "We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."
Modern historiography tends to focus on the compromises and the shortcomings, which are many in the document (the 3/5th compromise the most egregious of them all, putting a lesser work on some humans while still leaving them in bondage even as you gave their owners votes based on their bleeding backs). What Catherine Drinker Bowen called it in her still readable account, now almost 50 years old itself, is a "Miracle at Philadelphia."
They gathered to tweak the Articles of Confederation, which were nearly unworkable from 1776 over the next ten years. Unlike the blazing talent of a Thomas Jefferson writing the whole, the group process -- with leadership like Benjamin Franklin and James Madison and Edmund Randolph and Governeur Morris, to be sure -- created a remarkable document that has just enough flexibility to work without being so rigid as to require constant adjustment.
The European Union tried to write themselves a constitution starting in 2004, and they came up with an unreadable volume that to date has not been ratified (they're starting over after a "period of reflection."). The length and comprehensiveness of the EU draft constitution is a big part of why they can't get it passed; our Constitution, for all its flaws, can be read in just a few minutes by anyone.
Why don't you read it today yourself? Or you can listen to it by clicking the buttons on the sections -- either way, at this link:
