The Cubmaster’s Corner

Greetings all and happy fall to everyone!

October is “Love a Book” month within the Daniel Webster Council so we are asking everyone to bring a “gently used book” to our pack meeting on October 24^th. These donated books will go to children who need them and are a great example of how Cub Scouts live up to their Cub Scout promise to “help other people”.

We will be handing out order forms for our newest fundraiser at our next pack meeting. It is also our annual Halloween Costume Party and Pumpkin Carving Contest were we shall have a real spooky time starting at 6:30pm at St.Pat’s Club House!!

A note to all parents: This year Pack 25 has seen a great increase in our membership. We as a Pack have grown almost twofold adding two new Tiger Dens as well as almost every Den in our Pack gaining at least one or two new members! With that being said it is very important that everyone, including adults, be ever mindful of the importance of having an organized, productive, and attentive pack meeting. We as the Pack Den Leaders, and I myself as Cubmaster ask that you keep your talking on the sidelines to a minimum. As we tell all the Cubs, be they old or new, to pay attention and keep quite while myself or one of the other leaders are talking, we also ask that you as parents and Akela do so as well. This not only helps keep order to the meeting, important information is talked about, and more importantly the Cubs look to we adults as Akela and role models. We also ask that if you see Cubs not paying attention, horseplay, or any unScout like behavior to gently remind the Cubs of what “signs up” mean. If it continues or any serious matter needs to be addressed feel free to speak to one of the leaders on the sidelines or talk to me after the meeting is over.

Yours in Scouting
