PACK MEETING:
This month’s Pack meeting will be on February 26. We are working on our “Duty To God” theme and are planning an awesome program for the night, so mark your calendars and make plans to come out for what promises to be an enlightening evening.

PINEWOOD DERBY RACE:
pinewood_sign The Pinewood Derby Car Shop will be open Saturday, February 7 and 14, from 9-12 for anyone who needs help with his or her car. There are weight and slot restrictions for the cars, so come by the Scout Room to make sure the car conforms to pinewood derby specks. You will also be able to design your cars then. You can find a link to the specks below. The Pinewood Derby will be Saturday, February 21, in the Fellowship Hall at CPC. Registration will open at 11:00. The race will start at noon and no late entries will be accepted.

The winner of each division will race in the final round for the overall championship. There will be prizes for the winners. It will be your responsibility to provide lunch for your family. There will be refreshments sold at the race, but they will by no means qualify as a nutritious lunch. Also, please know that the race is very time consuming process and is not something that can be done in an hour, so please plan accordingly. No cars will be worked on in the Church.

PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU READ OUR PINEWOOD DERBY RULES!!! Due to the information that can be found on-line, we have made some minor rule modifications that may make your car ineligible, especially if you build it according to what you see on the internet. Our rules will be strictly enforced and any decisions made by the Race Committee will be final. Please click HERE to see a copy of our Pinewood Derby rules.

There will also be an open race for older Scouts, Frontiers, and all other family members. If you would like to get a car, the cost is $7.00 per car. Please make sure you have the correct change on hand. There will be prizes for the winners of the open race.

For those of you who have basketball games or other sporting events during the race, the Race Officials will run your car while you are at your event provided you get your car registered during the registration period. If for some reason this is not possible, then you will need to contact the Cubmaster in advance so that other arrangements can be made. Each scout and frontier must register his or her own car.

PACK CLASS B UNIFORMS (SHIRTS and HOODIES):
Shirts have been ordered. We will let you know when they arrive.

INCLEMENT WEATHER POLICY:
It is time for bad weather to come. Just remember that all Scouting / Frontiering functions are canceled if the weather does not support the activity. If school is canceled because of weather the day of a den meeting or Pack meeting, so will that meeting be canceled. Because of the planning involved in the Red, White, Blue and Gold Banquet and the Pinewood Derby, they will not be canceled except for extreme bad weather.

UNIFORMS:
Just a reminder that Class A uniforms are required for all our scout and are to be worn in their entirety to all scouting functions unless otherwise noted. For more information about Scout uniforms, see the “Uniforms” page under the “About” tab on the main menu bar. For those who have just joined, we understand that uniforms are purchased at the Scout Store in Roanoke and that it may not be convenient for you to travel there before the first scouting function. So, there is no rush for you to go out and purchase one today. However, please do not let your lack of not having a uniform prevent you from coming to any of our meetings, events, or functions.

FAMILY OF SCOUTING PROGAM:
In case you did not know, Christiansburg Presbyterian Church (CPC) offers a Family of Scouting program that consist of Boy Scout Troop 141 (11-18 years old), Cub Scout Pack 141 (5-10 years old), and Frontier Girls Troop 377 (3-18 years old and mothers can play too). Most of you are aware of the BSA scouting programs, but what is Frontier Girls? Our Frontier Girls Troop 377 was started in January 2016 as an alternative scouting-type program for the highly active and spirited young girls who wanted to experience a program that mirrored one that many of their brothers, who had joined the BSA scouting program experienced. Because the “Frontier Girls” program itself permits a seamless integration with the local BSA programs, the program is the perfect complement to the existing BSA scouting programs already sponsored by CPC, but one that would cater specifically to the young girls in the community. If you have family members or friends that you think would be interested in any of our Family of Scouting programs, please share this information with them. We each have websites as well as Facebook pages. Should they have any questions, they can always contact us.

WE NEED YOUR HELP:
It is “Not Too Late For Scouting” and we could use your help spreading the word. If you know of a young boy who would benefit from the Scouting program, please invite the entire family to your next Den meeting or to our next Pack meeting.

This would a great way for them to see firsthand what the Scouting program and our Pack are all about. Please share this information with your family and friends because they may know someone who could benefit from these great programs. If they have any questions before the meeting, please have them to contact our Cubmaster. Once again, we thank you for your help.

WEBSITE UPDATES:
It has been a few years since our new website rolled out and became live. Since that time, our website team has been diligently working to build a more user-friendly website that will grant access to information about our Pack as well as updates and news from our Pack. Most websites have what is referred to as “a site map,” which is very similar to the “table of content” one finds at the beginning of a book. This table of content lists the pages of the particular website with active links. This map is designed to help visitors to easily navigate through the website and help visitors easily find the exact content they are looking for on the website. While our site continues to be a “work-in-progress,” we believe this addition will be beneficial to all who visit. You can find our “Site Map” under under the “About” tab on the main menu bar.

EVENTS FROM THE COUNCIL:
For information or information about online registration, go to the Blue Ridge Mountains Council website and look under the Activities & Training on the main menu bar.
