Cub Scout Day Camp Is History

Lots more pictures at the Newark Advocate website, from staff and reader submitted (look under Youth Sports), such as http://www.newarkadvocate.com/apps/pbcs.dll/section?category=PluckGalleryPhoto&plckPhotoID=48e23b9b-ec84-4d6b-9615-57ca009768ae&plckGalleryID=e3734f49-002d-40cb-a0f0-c3e06f211393

Pack 3 had about two dozen of the record attendance out at Camp Falling Rock, almost 425 Cubs and 48 siblings, plus 120+ registered adults (which Pack 3 provided at least five of on any given day) and many more shuttle drivers and part-time walkers.

Next June we may be looking at split sessions, with Webelos having their own time slot and Tiger/Wolf/Bear Cubs in their own. We surely know that the setting and facilities we used this summer can't handle any more than they did!

Pack 3 at Granville's 140th Memorial Day

Memorial Day, May 26, and Tiger Night, May 27

Pack 3 will march in the Granville Memorial Day Parade on Monday, May 26!

Cubmaster Al will gather us at 10:15 am, on the brick street between Centenary UMC and First Presby; we walk down Broadway to Pearl, down to Maple Grove Cemetery, half-hour program and we're dismissed from there. Some folks (especially older grandparents) go on down to Maple Grove at 9:30 or after and set up their lawn chairs and wait for us there.

For those who know families with kindergarten boys that may want to consider Tiger Cubs next fall, our Tiger night is at Granville Elementary, in the Multi-Purpose Room at 7:00 pm on Tuesday, May 27. Come and get registered so you start getting all the mailings and info right with the start of the new school year!

Pack Meeting - Last of School Year, Thur. May 15

The Pack leadership decided to pass on Cubmobile this year, since we have so much going on over these next few months.

Pack meeting this Thursday includes our "Dirty Jobs" salute, where parents are invited to come with a quick demo of some job they have or had which has an odd outfit, messy element, or weird twist to it (aim for a 2 minute time frame, please!). Biohazard suits, insulating gloves, wild looking tools -- anything but a bucket of eyeballs!

Weather, Or Not

This has not been a kind year for weather on our Pack 3 special event days -- due to the likelihood of rain, and the need for 150 bales of straw to keep the kids safe, which if we get 'em wet can't be returned so they're ours (giving us 150 useless bales at $3.95 each) . . .

The Cubmobile Race Day is canceled for Saturday, Apr. 19. We will try to reschedule for June 7, but that is entirely tentative based on street availability and straw bales, trailer transport, etc.

Stay tuned, and have a quiet Saturday!

Cubmobile Updates

Den Leaders,

Please forward this message to your den.

As you know we have scheduled the Cubmobile race for this Saturday, April 19th. Looking at the weather forecast there is a 40-50% chance of rain on that day. Since we “borrow” 100-150 bales of straw from the Granville Milling Company for this event, we cannot afford to get the bales of straw wet. If they are wet, Pack 3 will have to purchase the bales for $3.95 a bale. Therefore if it is raining on Saturday or the outlook looks like it is going to rain for sure we will need to cancel the event. If we cancel the event, we will send an email to all the den leaders. We would like the den leaders to make sure everyone in their den knows the event is canceled.

We will attempt to update the Pack 3 blog (http://granvillepack3.blogspot.com) with a note if the event is canceled as well.

Thank you for your help in this matter,

Jerry and Nicole Lukins
