Saturday, Nov. 17 - Presidential Fitness at 9, Food Drive at 9:30

Dear Wolf Parents,

Great job to all of the Wolf Cubs who participated in the first round of Presidential Fitness trials on Wednesday!

Presidential Fitness Info!

• boys can keep doing the trials until the Blue & Gold dinner I believe, which is February plenty of time to improve those scores
• I'm pretty sure we were miss-measuring the pushups all of our boys are already "Presidential" in that category and while I think they could handily beat our Commander-in-Chief (with one hand!), I think we probably need to emphasize form a bit more
• I've attached the spreadsheet here with their current scores also posted it here
• Presidential Fitness Guidelines are here. (I'm sorry if that's an old version if I get a new one I'll update you)
• everyone gets a patch for participating... the National and Presidential levels are nice goals to strive for

Calendar stuff!

• We will meet at 9AM on Saturday, November 17 at Tam High Track the boys will be able to run the mile (or half-mile) trial for Presidential Fitness
• Immediately afterwards, at 9:30AM on Saturday, November 17, we'll go to Sycamore Park to gather for our Food Drive pick-up Pete Gilmore already sent out information about this, which I'll repeat, below:

9:30 amWe will meet again at Sycamore Park to set out and collect the food.
Please make sure you cover the entire same area where you distributed the door hangers.
Perhaps each den leader can delegate a driver in their group to follow behind the Scouts as they collect. Maybe a wagon to pull along for each group would be a good idea too.
When done collecting, immediately bring the food to the Scout Hall located on East Blithedale. The Boy Scouts will transfer it to the Food Bank from there.

Again, a parent or guardian must accompany each scout. Please be courteous to anyone you may meet along the way. Please wear your scout uniforms and feel free to enlist the support of your friends and families.

Hope to see you Saturday! No need to RSVP!

Best,

Dave
