For those who have not been to Tamarancho ever or in the past year there is a new way to get there so print out the attached map and follow the instructions.
The code for the gate is (a secret! call Will).
We are going to be at the Twin Lakes Campsite (8 on the second page).
I'll be there from 2 pm on and my cell is four one five - three zero two - two nine eight eight. Reception is spotty so I'll also have walkie talkies set to channel 34 (get it? Pack 34).
See you there!
Dear Tigers,
So much going on - everybody busy with baseball - Spring is in the air... and high winds! Well... I'll try to make it easy on you.
Here are some upcoming Cub Scout Events that I hope your Cub can join:
Friday (that's this Friday), April 20 - 8AM - Park School
Be there in uniform to raise the Earth Day Flag! It will only take about 15 minutes.
Saturday (this Saturday) April 21 - 9AM - 12 noon - Earth Day/Boyle Park Clean-Up
Come by before or after a baseball game - spend 20 minutes cleaning up the park!
Saturday (yep, this Saturday again) April 21 - starting at noon until Sunday April 22 at noon
Tamarancho Campout - overnight in Fairfax - let me know if you're attending - you'll need a tent, camping gear, warm clothes. Food is provided (free!) Weather forecast is cold, but no rain on Saturday.
Friday, April 27 - 4:30PM - Baseball - Tom Baldwin Organizing - Redwood @ Tam
Wednesday, May 9 - 7PM - Pack Meeting, Scout Hall
I'll catch up on all your Tiger's awards - so let me know what they've earned. See the achievement tracker, here:
http://www.mvpack34.org/files/tiger_den_2006.xls
So I hope you can make one or all of these events! Let me know.
Camping at Tamarancho is not to be missed if you can make it. You can come up late, leave early, whatever. The place is a slice of heaven.
There's more coming up on Memorial Day... Tom Baldwin is organizing a baseball game... Barb Sobel is organizing a bike safety meeting... great stuff! More details on that to come.
Best,
Dave
Message to Webelos from Mike Burkett, Scoutmaster, Troop 1 (courtesy of Tish Rosales):
Here is the advancement plan that Troop 1 finds works very well for new scouts.
1) Attend Summer Camp 8-Jul through 14-Jul:
-Earn the Swimming and 1st Aid Merit Badges
-Attend Trail to First Class at summer camp
-Have fun
- Make a 1st Aid Kit when they return home to complete the 1st Aid Merit Badge
2) When the scout returns from camp they are able to earn sign-off on all Swimming and First Aid requirements for:
-Tenderfoot
-2nd Class
-1st Class(note they still need to make a 1st aid kit).
3) Attend Traditional Campouts in the Fall to earn:
-cooking requirements
-pioneering
-identify 10 plants and animals
-etc.
The scouts are then well on their way to becoming a 1st Class Scout by this time next year. If some of the scouts just want to have fun and advance a a slower pace that also works. Some scouts take it easy for a while and advance quickly later on.
Parents are always welcome to attend Marin Sierra Camp and/or our campouts.
I look forward to having all of the Webelos attend our troop meetings at 7:30pm on Thursdays at Scout Hall, Mill Valley. You have a great group of scouts!
Best regards,
Mike Burkett
Troop 1 Scoutmaster
Hey Pack 34 Parents,
I'm sorry if this messes up your calendars but we are changing the date of the campout to Sat. April 21. We did this because the Marin Council has given us 2 exclusive hours on the archery range on Sunday 4/22 from 11:30 to 1:30.
If your son has never done archery before they have professionally trained instructors whose number one priority is safety. Plan to come up on Saturday afternoon, eat dinner, enjoy smores around the campfire then Sunday we'll have breakfast, fish in the pond, and enjoy some archery. Details to follow.
Sat. 4/21, 9 am to 12 noon. Earth Day/Mill Valley Beautification Day Boyle Park Cleanup
Come when you can before or after baseball. Please wear scout uniforms!
Sat 4/21 12 noon to Sun 4/19 12 noon. Tamarancho Campout
One-night campout at Camp Tamarancho in Fairfax. Details to follow but plan to spend the night or come for the evening or on Sunday.
Wed. 5/9, 7 PM, Pack Meeting, Scout Hall
Awards and more!
Saturday 5/26 8 am, Memorial Day Flag planting at Presidio Cemetery in SF
Did you know that only scouts and veterans are allowed to plant flags at the national cemeteries? This event makes you look at Memorial Day as much more than a 3-day weekend.
Monday 5/28, Time TBD, Mill Valley Memorial Day Parade
We're marching/scootering en masse with all MV Cub Scouts.
Wed. 6/6 7 PM Bridging Pool Party at Homestead Valley Pool
This is our end of the year blowout.
Sat 6/9 9 am to 12 Noon, Fishing Derby at Marin Rod and Gun Club
The club opens its pier (north of Richmond SR Bridge) to all Marin cub scouts for fishing.
If you have any questions e-mail me back or ask your respective den leader.
Yours in Scouting,
Will
