Pack 37,
Our Blue and Gold dinner was a success. I posted some photos on our Facebook page, please have a look. Thank you to everyone that made this a success. It truly took a village to make this happen and I am grateful for everyone that leaned in and put this together. Seeing everyone come together confirmed, for me, the reason we are such an amazing Pack. I have never seen the gym cleaned up in such record time! Once again, thank you.
While I strive to make everything perfect, things are inevitably are missed. I am aware that we did have a few mistakes with the awards and will work with the Den leaders to remediate them in short order. I appreciate your understanding and patience.
That all said, the Blue and Gold DOES NOT celebrate the end of the scouting year and we have plenty more in store for you all. We have confirmed Medieval Times for Saturday, 3/21. We will coordinate with them this week and get a new payment link out next week.
I am in the process of putting together some events for April and May. If you have any ideas, please come to the Parent Committee Meeting on Wednesday, 3/11 @7pm in the Parish House.
Looking out a few months, we have our June camping at Pouch Camp on 6/5 - 6/7. This is more than just the fun camping and hiking. During our June camping, we also celebrate the boys moving up to the next Den. Mark your calendars!

Pack 37,
I keep having to check my calendar, it says January because it feels like June!! Thankfully, the boys were able to take advantage of that and have a great hike on Saturday. Check out our Facebook page for some pictures.
This coming Saturday, 1/18 we will have our Pinewood Derby race. This is your last week to get your car ready! We need your help in setting up the track in the Lower Church Hall. If you can, please join us at 6pm on Friday, 1/17 to help.
We will be racing each Den from youngest (Lions) to oldest (Sr Webelos). When you arrive, your car will be weighed and can not exceed 5 ounces. Once registered, we will take your car and be placing it on the track for you. From there your child's picture will be taken for an official Pack 37 Driver Licence. No child or parent will be permitted to enter the area around the track and/or place the car on the track. We will also be keeping ALL cars, except first place winners in each Den, until the Blue and Gold dinner. At the Blue and Gold Dinner, you will have your cars returned along with a certificate and drivers license.
The following Saturday, 1/25 we will be going on our Liberty Science Center sleepover. We will be meeting there at 6pm and I have attached a flier for the event. They do not allow food in the main exhibit area, but does have food available to purchase outside the exhibit areas. Also, they recommend you bring the minimum about of stuff with you. Basically, your clothes, toothbrush, sleeping bag and pillow. Please plan to eat dinner prior to the event. We had to send in payment this past weekend and thus closed out the Eventbrite page. I am following up to confirm that you can pay on the day of arrival, stay tuned.
In parallel to all these activities, we are working very hard to prepare for the Blue and Gold dinner. This event is our biggest fund raising event and also our biggest. In order to make this a success, we need to solicit for donations. I have attached a donation letter you can take along with you to local establishments that you frequent.

Pack 37,
I hope you are all enjoying the holidays. This week there are NO Den meetings. Next week we will be getting right back into things. Two events in January: Pinewood Derby and Liberty Science Center. See details below.
The Pinewood Derby is on Saturday, January 18th. This means you have until then to carve and paint your car. You can find the official rules for the Pinewood Derby car here. You can also ask your Den Leader. You can also get help at Pouch Camp. They will be holding Pinewood Derby Workshops every Saturday from 11am - 5pm. See the attached flyer for more information.
You all were supposed to receive your Class B T-Shirt, but there was a problem with the order. I will get them this Tuesday. I will leave a list and the shirts in the Lower Church Hall for your Den Leaders to distribute.
The Next Parent Committee Meeting is on Wednesday, 1/8 @7pm. All parents are welcome to attend. We need to start planning for the Blue and Gold dinner and need all of your support.
Lastly, please remember to register and pay for the Liberty Science Center trip here. The trip will take place on Saturday, January 25th.
