Make a costume for one of the characters from your favorite story. At the pack meeting the boys can perform some of their favorite stories and share some of their adventures with the pack. Take part in Pedro's "Say Yes to Reading" program in Boy's Life. This might also be a good month to work on the Communication or Computer belt loop and pin.

Helping others gives the boys the opportunity to see the bounty produced by spreading many small seeds of kindness and encourages compassion. The boys can discover that just as the large strong oak tree came from the small acorn, big things can happen from spreading small seeds of kindness and charity. Conduct a food drive or collect coats and gloves for those in need; report your hours to Good Turn for America. Work on the Citizenship belt loop and pin. We will be collecting toys for the Toys for Tots program. Please bring in new, unwrapped toys to our meeting.

Share your holiday traditions with your pack and den: lights on a Christmas tree, candles on a Menorah for Chanukah, or on a Kinara for Kwanzaa. Boys can be stars this month by brightening someone's holiday season with a gift of compassion. As a pack or den, visit a nursing home, preschool, or children's ward and sing holiday favorites. End your outing by sharing cookies that the boys decorated. Help those less fortunate with a service project or toy drive. How about a holiday campfire at your pack meeting? This is great month to work on the Language and Culture belt loop and pin or the Heritages belt loop and pin. http://www.pack002.com/event.php?EID=2460 Woodruff Scout Reservation - For 41 years Scouters' Winter Campout (SWC) has been an annual event for Cobb County Scouters.

The pinewood derby is a good opportunity to learn about rules and good sportsmanship. Why not work on the Chess belt loop and pin. http://www.pack002.com/event.php?EID=2533 More details to come. http://www.pack002.com/event.php?EID=2490 Kennesaw Elementary - The Blue & Gold Banquet is a an annual banquet and party held by each Cub Scout Pack. Traditionally, its held in February to coincide with the month of Scouting's birthday. In our Pack, the Blue & Gold replaces the February Pack meeting, and includes a catered meal, door prizes, a dessert contest, and the "crossing-over" ceremony for the Pack's Webelo II scouts. The "Crossing-Over" ceremony recognizes the scouts who are leaving the Pack and possibly moving on to Boy Scouts. They receive their Arrow of Light, which is the highest award possible for a Cub Scout to earn, in a very impressive and solemn ceremony. Tickets are $15, and one ticket covers an entire family. You do not need to purchase a ticket for each person, just one for you entire family. Tickets can be purchased at the Pack meeting preceeding the Banquet. See your den leader for tickets. http://www.pack002.com/event.php?EID=2538 http://www.pack002.com/event.php?EID=2467 Legacy Park Circle - http://www.pack002.com/event.php?EID=2539 Woodruff Scout Reservation - http://www.pack002.com/event.php?EID=2536 http://www.pack002.com/event.php?EID=2466 Legacy Park HOA Conference Room - http://www.pack002.com/event.php?EID=2537 http://www.pack002.com/event.php?EID=2234 Kennesaw Elementary - Explore career possibilities of the 21st century this month. Host a pack career fair, inviting several adults to share what they do for a living and how these career opportunities might change as you grow up and technology advances. Discover how having a positive attitude is essential in reaching career goals. Den meeting plans could include field trips to learn about different occupations of interest to the boys and playing games centered on different jobs. This would be a good month to work on any of the Cub Scout Academics and Sports belt loops and pins - let the boys vote on the one that fits best with what they want to be when they grow up. For those future astronauts this month is a perfect time for a space derby! http://www.pack002.com/event.php?EID=2468 Legacy Park HOA Conference Room - http://www.pack002.com/event.php?EID=2471 Legacy Park HOA Conference Room - http://www.pack002.com/event.php?EID=2469 Legacy Park Bandstand - Yes!

Imagine living in a time when dinosaurs roamed the Earth. What have paleontologists learned about the great beasts that roamed the Earth millions of years ago? Did any dinosaurs live where you do now? Find out what they ate, where they lived, and how they moved. What could we learn of these creatures that lived so long ago? Make a model of a dinosaur or visit a museum where dinosaur fossils can be seen. Make your own "dinosaur footprints" or "fossils" in plaster. Take a "dinosaur" scavenger hike by going on a hike and looking for things that might have been found during the Jurassic era. This would be a great time to work on the Geology belt loop and pin. http://www.pack002.com/event.php?EID=2474 Legacy Park HOA Conference Room - http://www.pack002.com/event.php?EID=2236 Kennesaw Elementary - Warm weather is a perfect time for outdoor adventure, complete with den hikes in the neighborhood, park, or on local trails.

Have a contest to see who can take the best wildlife photograph. Earn the Cub Scout Leave No Trace Awareness Award. Do your Good Turn and leave these areas cleaner then you found them. Remember to record your service with Good Turn for America. The end of the month has all dens moving up the Cub Scout trail. You might want to consider working on the Wildlife Conservation belt loop and pin this month. http://www.pack002.com/event.php?EID=2475 Kennesaw United Methodist Church - Attention Pack 002! It's time to make some plans for your cub scout for the upcoming summer. It will be here before we know it. Cub scout day camp is June 1-5 at Kennesaw United Methodist Church on Ben King Road. For our Tiger parents or parents whose child has not been to day camp, it is a blast for the kids. Each day is full of different activities and crafts. It takes place Monday through Friday from 9:00am - 3:30pm. The boys will be doing fun activities all day long. They have a schedule that is followed and each activity is a lot of fun. Some of the activities include BBs, archery, cooking, story telling, games, working with tools, knots, knives and, last year, a rock wall. The boys have a terrific time!! In addition, they begin earning lots of requirements for their promoted rank! The cost of day camp is as follows (FROM LAST YEAR, THIS WILL BE UPDATED IF NECESSARY): * $80 per cub scout * $60 per scout if their parent is a volunteer for the whole week * $50 per pixie (pixies are sisters and younger brothers of a scout but they must be potty trained and 3 yrs old and the parent must be volunteering at Day Camp) Not to leave out the older sisters or brothers- they can be den chiefs or teen apprentices. Den chiefs are boy scouts and teen apprentices are girls that are 12yrs and older. They will work the day camp and help out where needed. In order for our scouts to go to day camp and have a great time, we need adult volunteers also. For every 3 cub scouts who want to attend day camp, there must be one adult volunteer. You can work all week at day camp or find someone who will split the week with you. We will have the applications and health forms to fill out at pack meetings or they can be dropped off at your house. The applications must be turned into the district in April. Sneak-A-Peek will be Sunday, May 31st, 2009 from 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm at KUMC. Parents & Scouts are invited to meet their Den Leaders, pick up their camp shirts and carpool tags, and check out camp. To register your scout for day camp, click on this link http://www.mountainlakedistrict.com/csdaycamp.htm and fill out and print the application at the bottom of the page. All applications and fees need to be turned in to Barbel Woodard by our March Pack Meeting. http://www.pack002.com/event.php?EID=2476 Legacy Park Amphitheater - We need your help. We need to know how many of you are seriously planning on attending this event. They run 4 at a time and the elimination chart has to be carefully planned. Please send an email to your leader to RSVP for the event. If you decide not to attend for some reason, and have not worked on your rocket, we would appreciate you returning the kit. The pack has paid $4 for each kit and without the string track they really don't work. The pack will be happy to return them. We will need help with the setup and take down of this event. Setup will start at the amphitheatre at 8 am. It takes a while to get the strings attached, properly tightened, level, etc. Here is the help we will need: Setup - 3-4 people beginning at 8am Awards - We need someone to help make design awards. We will be ordering medals for the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd overall. There are no rank place awards for this event because of the typically lower turnout. This may change if we get as many entries as kits ordered! Judges for design awards - 3 people Registration help - 2 people to come a few minutes early and help with registration. Registration will start promptly at 10am. Rubberband winders - we will need 4 people (one for every track) and we may need to switch off if they get tired. Each rocket gets wound 100 times. Breakdown - 2-3 parents to help take down the track and load it back into the truck for transport to storage. Your help will be greatly appreciated and make for a fun event for the boys. If you are willing to help, please email your den leader. http://www.pack002.com/event.php?EID=2477 Legacy Park Circle - http://www.pack002.com/event.php?EID=2478 Legacy Park Main Pool - All Scouts are invited to attend. This is a recruiting event, so if you or your Scout knows a boy entering first through fourth grade this year, please invite them to come along. Boys who invite a friend who joins the Pack will earn the Recruiter patch, which they get to wear on their uniform. Webelos I Scouts should be sure to attend, as they will be completing the requirements for their Aquanaut activity pins. This is a great way for a new Webelo to get their first pin under their belt right away. Also, please remember that your scout can submit a t-shirt design in the Pack's search for a new class-B t-shirt. The winning design will earn the Scout who submits it a great prize: their very own camping tent! We also need two adult volunteers for the Pool party: one to bring popsicles for the boys, and one (usually Webelo I parent) to run the Aquanaut Activity Pin exercises in the pool. We will need between 50 and 100 popsicles (whatever size box is available; you can never have too many of them). The volunteer will purchase the popsicles (you will be reimbursed for the cost) and bring them to the pool party in a cooler. Running the Aquanaut exercises is also very easy, as its just a matter of following the requirements as laid out in the Webelos Handbook. Lisa and I will be there to lend a hand should you need it. If you can help with either of these important positions, please let me know by emailing secretary@pack002.com. http://www.pack002.com/event.php?EID=2491 Lockheed - Lockheed Martin and the Lockheed Martin Leader’s Association volunteers are happy to be hosting the Sixth annual Scientist Webelos Advancement Program.
