Pack 34 needs two families to bring their red wagons and coolers filled with water bottles for the scouts in the parade. In years past, it has been hot and the scouts have needed water to make it through the parade.
Pls let Israel know if you can help out Pack 34.
Thank you,
Israel B. Rosales
I was informed Saturday that due to the above normal precipitation in the Sierra's this past winter the dam operators will be forced to increase the water flow in May, June, and July. This increases the water level and speed of the American River. White Water Voyages (our raft company) has decided for safety concerns, to increase the age limit for the next couple of months up to 10 years old. This obviously won't work for us but am grateful for the raft companies concern for our safety.
Not to worry. This just requires a little more patience. I rescheduled the trip for August 27 and 28. This is the first weekend the kids are back to school. The plan will be the same as before, just different dates. I was assured the water levels will be receded by August and the river will be safe for all.
Any Scout family that couldn't make the first date is welcome to join us in August. If a family that has signed up for the raft trip in June can't make the August trip, they can get a full refund. Just tell me by June 1st.
Cancel our pre-rafting meeting this Wednesday at the deuce. We will reschedule in August.
Please make sure signed up families get notified.
Thank you,
Joe Hiti
Hey Scouts,
Have you ever had a dream about shooting a BB gun at targets to your heart's content? Thought so. Well your dream has come true!
On Sunday, June 5th, from 1-3 pm, Pack 34 has reserved the BB Gun Range at Camp Tamarancho. Our own Pack 34 Safety Officers Dave LaDuke, Joe Hiti, and myself will be showing scouts how to use the BB guns/rifles safely and with accuracy.
WHERE TO MEET: TBA
NEEDED:
Depending on the turn out, we will need parents to drive.
WHAT TO BRING:
(1) Bring clear plastic containers (gallon or quart milk containers are the best);
(2) food dye (not red). At the range, we can fill the containers with water and color with dye; they make great targets.
(3) Any kind of target, but it cannot resemble or depict, in any way, an animal or human.
SAFETY NOTES:
(1) Safety is paramount! The safety officers will not tolerate any behavior that could jeopardize the safety on any scout. Unsafe kids, unfortunately, will have to be removed from the Range.
(2) All parents must abide by the same guidelines as the scouts. Kids learn best by example.

This is going to be fun. I hope you can make it.
Thank you,
Israel
Saturday, May 28th, 9 a.m. -- Flag Planting, San Francisco National Cemetery (Presidio)
Monday, May 30th, TBA -- Mill Valley Memorial Day Parade
Hey Webelos! (I like the sound of that!)
Two great events are scheduled over Memorial Day weekend. Saturday's Flag Planting is one of our most meaningful scouting events. As you probably remember, the National Cemetery covered with American flags truly makes us feel we are on hallowed ground. It is a moving experience that scouts and their parents can share together.
On Monday, we get to ride our razors or scooters in the well-orchestrated (just kidding) MV parade. Scouts, in uniform, should bring their scooters and a bag of candy they can pummel (I mean share with) the crowd. The pack needs two families to bring their wagons filled with water bottles for the scouts; some years have been pretty hot.
These two events are great scout traditions that you don't want to miss. Please call me if you have any questions.
Thank you,
Israel
Here is an interesting link from Mill Valley Pack One Cubmeister Terry Grant.
As Terry says:
"This link has some, as usual, corny stuff... BUT it also has some great take-aways on managing boy behavior in your den meetings… I actually find myself re-reading it about once a month!"
Enjoy.
Greetings from Terry Grant of Mill Valley Pack One!
Time for my FAVORITE cub scout activity of the year -- the Memorial Day Flag Ceremony at the Presidio on Saturday, May 28th at 9 am. Couple of Highlights:
As for me, I like to share with my boys that although I am personally against this War with Iraq (and most wars), that we should be thankful for the American's who serve our country and who have died in arm's way. We should also be mindful that our community includes many people whose lives have been affected by war in many ways. We should always be respectful on Memorial Day.
Regarding directions, the map is hyperlinked below for those who don't know where the cemetery is. Basic directions are:

Next Friday, May 13 we will have our bridging. Below is the plan for the night.
Date: May 13, Friday
Place: Scott Valley Swim and Tennis Club (map)
Go to Clubhouse at the top of the hill, above the swimming pool.
Time: 7pm sharp
Event: Bridging all scouts to the next level/rank
Sequence of events
| 7 pm | Color guard (Webelos) |
| 7:04 | Each den lined up |
| 7:05 | Cubmaster KH hands each scout his parent pin (at entrance of bridge) Cubmaster elect WC stands with parents at exit of bridge Each parent has "new rank scarf" at the ready |
| 7:07 | Webelos walk one by one across the bridge. Den Leader gives scout his new badge/patch and achievements in a baggy. Will Shakes each hand, parent puts scarf on scout, scout hands pin to parent. After Webelos 2, Webelo 1, Bears, Wolves. Each den walks back to designated area. |
| 7:20 | Pictures with groups... |
| 7:29 | Dens line up (Webelo 2, Webelo 1, Bear, Wolf and walk single file to the pool. Pool location per den:
|
| 7:31 | Scouts take off all garments except swimming trunks |
| 7:32 | Will, the new Cubmaster will perform his first official act. Calling out each group, to jump into the water. |
| 8:20 | John Smeltzer will hand out Raffle prizes to the boys and parents. |
| 8:30 pm | Depart |
I would highly recommend that families feed their kids prior to bringing them to the bridging on Friday. No food will be served at the pool, so we don't want to have low blood sugar melt downs.
There are no segments for this meeting.
But, there is a family fiesta patch for each boy that went there.
Also, make sure all achievements have been met. You will need to order rank badges and parent pins via Tish. Tish may already have all the pins, but, just in case, send her the total needed.
Also, each den member should have his new rank scarf for the bridging. The parent will put it on the boy during the ceremony. Scarf's are not funded by the pack, so you will need to pick it up before next friday. Also, each boy should wear his swimming trunks along with his scout shirt.
May 13 is the last meeting of the year, it should be a great one!
