The Busiest Week Ever

Three things to remember for this week:

1. Wednesday @ 7:00 - Youth session of Stake Conference.  This is Sunday dress and will be held at the Stake Center (the one out at the Cove).
2. Thursday @ 6:00 - Winter camp shakedown.  No uniform required, and only boys going on the Friday camp need attend - they must bring the following:
• Your gear, which should follow winter camping guidelines (see below).
• Completed permission slip
• Fishing pole and lisence if you plan on fishing
• A scout tent, if you still have one from the last campout.
3. Friday @ 3:00 - Pineview Reservior Ice Fishing campout.  We will leave from the Church at 3:00 pm and return by 3:00 pm to the Mack's house on Saturday.

The winter camping guidelines and permission slip can be found on the server in the guidelines and forms folders respectively.  I have also posted the guidelines on the blog here (Nov 23 post):

Parent's Night

Parents, we have a great night planned for you and your boys.  Please arrive promptly at 7:00 pm at the Church tomorrow.  We will be meeting in the rooms at the South end of the building.  We have special guests from the District and the LDS church and an agenda that will take the full hour and a half. 

I look forward to kicking off the new year with you and sharing all the exciting things your boys have planned, as well as answering any questions you may have and taking your suggestions to help this program be the best it can.

We have child care available on site for all ages of children, so please come as a couple and don't forget to bring your Scout! 

Pow Wow Continues - Parent's Night Incoming

The Pow Wow will continue this week, with no Wednesday meeting planned.  Like last week, however, we will be meeting on Saturday at 7:30 am for the Pow Wow.  Its important to complete any homework that was assigned to you.

Next week (Wednesday the 19th) we will have our 2011 Parent's Night.  There will be child care available, so parents please come as a couple.  The boys will be working on creating their class B uniforms, and we will have district leaders on hand too - it's a must come for everyone!

Lastly, the 2011 calendar has been filled out, so browse away at the bottom of the blog for a sneak peek.  While the calendar may need a few adjustments due to pending Ward events, you should feel pretty confident in it. 

Pow Wow Incoming - ADDRESS UPDATED

First, a thanks to all the boys and parents who helped out with the Christmas Service Project.  We would like to do this annually.

Second, we will not be meeting on Wednesday this week.  Instead we will be meeting on Saturday at 7:30 am at the Stake Center (ADDRESS CORRECTION - 7079 West Rose Canyon Road)
