Conservation Requirement for Webelos

The Webelos need to participate in a conservation project for their Outdoorsman badge. This badge is a requirement for their Arrow of Light Award. We will be participating with Dupont's park and trail beautification project Saturday April 19th. I will announce the time and place to meet.

Attention Wolves and Bears~

Due to Spring Break, we will not be having a den meeting on April 8th. The next meeting will be at the Newville's on the 15th of April at 4:30p.m. Pack Night will be the 24th of April and we will either have a make-up den meeting or Faith In God on the 29th of April. For those boys that are interested, Lowes is offering birdhouse and planter box kits. Bears must make a birdhouse, and wolves must make something useful to complete their badges. So, this is a great opportunity to get it done. If we can find a Saturday in April that will work for most of us, we will do these projects at the store. If not, we will pick them up and deliver them to the boys. Let us know if you want to participate and when would work best. If you have any questions or comments let us know!!!

THE WEBOLO'S GOAL BY Micah Gale

My Webolo den has a goal of earning our Webolo badge by the April pack meeting. We have 5 more weeks to complete our LDS Square Knot, earn 1 more badge, and participate in a flag ceremony.

Faith in God meeting will be at the Seaquist home Tue March 25th at 7 p.m. Hope to see you there!

Miles helped with the Flood!

I went to help with the floods in Centrailia. It was DIR-TY! We had to take out the couches and cars were ruined.

I had to get up at 5:00 a.m. I only cleaned up 2 houses. My favorite part was ripping out the carpets (soaked!)

I went home at about 11:00. I had lunch and still, it was cold out that there, my knuckes were cracked!

Brett: Reporting the Weather

For most of March the weather has been rainy. For the most part the saying "April Showers bring May Flowers" has turned into, March showers bring April flowers. Hopefully the groundhog didn't see his shadow!

Why a blog?

Calling all Den Moms, Cub Scouts, Leaders and Parents... we have fun news to share! At least it always feels that way. What better way to share and coordinate then with the help of a blog. The idea is that this Blog will be our troops calendar and journal. Leaders will all be invited as contributors to post upcoming events, share things that are happening with the Cubs, highlight an individual boys success...the possibilities are limitless. Parents and Grandparents, siblings and friends will all be able to see what awesome fun their favorite scout is up to. Those with Fathers that are deployed will be able to share their success though thousands of miles a part. I am really hopeful that this blog will become an excellent tool for troop 494!

Pinewood Derby

This last Saturday our troop met for our Pinewood Derby. It was a fantastic event. The boys did an excellent job building their cars, making terrific cakes for our silent cake auction and being great sports. All in all I think our first Derby was an excellent success! Thank you to all the Den Moms, Parents and our volunteer judges who made it all possible!

Our top three finalists. Chase Wilcox, Cameron Gale and Hunter Huillet.
