Cub Scout Pack 497 in Eden Prairie

Our December pack meeting is Monday night, Dec. 14. Because our theme is “Works of Art,” our pack meeting will be held at the Eden Prairie Art Center (7650 Equitable Drive)!!! (Thanks Ann Rorem for setting it up!) As usual, our gathering activity will be at 6:45 and our meeting will begin at 7:00

We’ll have a uniform inspection (get those shirts, etc. looking nice), a special speaker from the EP Art Center, an art show from our own cub scouts (den leaders: remember to have your dens bring next stuff to share!). Here are the den assignments for the meeting.

(1) Dragon Patrol: Uniform inspection
(2) Raven Patrol: gathering activity
(3) Cobra Patrol: Flag ceremony
(4) Den 6 Jr. Webelos: Jokes
(5) Bears: Skit
(6) Wolves: Song

Here are directions to the Art Center from Ann Rorem:

I think the easiest way to the art center from Cedar Ridge is for the families to take County 4 north to Valley View and turn right. They will stay on Valley View and cross Mitchell/Baker and take the first right after that interection into Equitable Drive. The art center is well marker and located at 7650 Equitable Drive. Some of the families may have to pack in the street out front. When they enter the building please have them turn left throught the door and down the hall. Thanks we don’t want to disturb the clay class in progress.

Pack 497 — The calendar has turned to December and all your holiday greenery (and extra popcorn) should have been delivered. If not, please do that just as soon as possible.

Also,
1. We still have a handful of extra wreaths, living trees, etc. If you can help sell these for the pack (even to yourselves at discounted rates!) please contact Ann Rorem asap. annrorem {at} gmail(.)com

2. Attached is a sign-up for bell-ringing. We still lack 6 spots (and can accommodate more than that if needed). If you haven’t signed up please email Beth Witherspoon bspoon01 {at} aol(.)com or we’ll fix it at the Dec. 14 pack meeting.

3. Finally, the Pinewood Derby is coming up on Sunday, January 24 at 1:00. We’ll send more info to the boys about it, but our theme is “Winter Olympics.” We’ll have prizes for best cars in theme and best cars not in theme. We’ll also have a car-cutting day at the EP Senior Center if you’re interested. It looks like this will likely be the morning of Sat., Jan. 9 (and possible Jan. 16). I’ll let you know when I get confirmation about it.

Have a great day!
