It is also requested that each Scout family bring a dozen cookies to share with their fellow scouts at this Pack meeting. The Pack will supply bottled water for the boys to go along with their cookies and ice cream*! (*see below for more info.)

Other activities scheduled for our December Pack Meeting:
· Pinewood Derby Car distribution [Peter Cloonan]

· Popcorn Sales Campaign Celebration and distribution of prizes earned. [Megan Devenney]

Following the Pack meeting, we will hold an Ice Cream Social. This is to celebrate the pack’s fundraising efforts and reward the scouts and their families for a job well done! The boys will also be receiving their prizes. Unfortunately none of the dens reached the given goal of averaging $200/scout. Den 7 was only off by $47! (Lucky girl Christine!) Hence, no den leaders will be getting a pie in the face! I’m looking forward to finishing up the popcorn sales on a sweet note! See you there!

Cubmaster succession: We are actively looking for a new Cubmaster for your boys in Pack 184. Cubmaster Joe Dougherty is moving on to Boy Scouting after 7 years with the Pack.

The new Cubmaster will be needed beginning with our March 2010 Pack Meeting (click here for the B.S.A. official responsibilities of a cubmaster). Joe will be around to assist and support the new leader throughout this transition and into the next Scouting year.

==> If you would like to know more about this rewarding leadership position, please see Joe (e-mail 4docboys@verizon.net) or any of the current Pack leaders.

Everything the Cubmaster does is aimed at helping the individual boy. Securing strong leaders, planning den and pack activities, advising other leaders and adult family members—these are all ways in which the Cubmaster affects the kind of Cub Scouting each boy in the pack is offered. The Cubmaster directly influences the lives of individual boys by keeping in mind that boys can become better through Cub Scouting.
