Cub Scout Roundup!

For general information on the Roundup, click here.  For individual Den information, click here.

If your interested in joining the Cub Scouts you can contact Karen Janiszewski. You can see some of the “highlights” from our Program this past year in our Album.

Tiger Cubs - 1st Grade Boys

Tiger Cubs are Cub Scouts who are in the first grade.  These boys learn new things together and have fun experiences with their friends.  As a Tiger Cub, you will earn your Bobcat and Tiger Cub Badge.  You will enjoy five achievement areas and, with your adult partner's help, you will complete 15 requirements.  Along the way, you'll have great fun.  Tiger Cubs do lots of things together.  You may go fishing.  You might visit a museum.  You could tour a fire station.  You might go to a movie or take a ride on a train.  You can play sports and build things.  It's up to you and your leaders to decide exactly what you'll do.  Whatever you do, you'll learn new things, see new places, and soon become a Cub Scout.

Wolf & Bear Cub Scouts - 2nd & 3rd Grade Boys

Being a Cub Scout means doing.  You join a den - a group of friends who share your interests - and together you explore many exciting things.  You may be building Pinewood Derby race cars or exploring a cave.  You could be camping in a forest with your friends and family or playing baseball or soccer.  You might have a picnic or you could go fishing.  You might be playing games or building a tree house.  The list of things Cub Scouts do is huge!  You'll work with adult leaders who will help you earn awards.  You can get a Cub Scout uniform to display the badges and recognitions you'll earn.  Plus, all the while, you're having great fun.

Webelos - 4th & 5th Grade Boys

Webelos are the Cub Scout members who are preparing to step up to the adventure and excitement of belonging to the Boy Scouts.  While you still get to do all the things Cub Scouts do, as a Webelos, you'll enjoy more special activities - including challenging outdoor adventures.  You'll be looked upon as a leader.  You'll get to work on advanced projects, earn activity badges, and become familiar with the Boy Scout requirements - all leading to the Cub Scouts' highest rank, the prized Arrow of Light Award.

Dues are to be paid by 10/15.  Make your check payable to LBI Cub Scout Pack 18 and please pay your Den Leader promptly.  Your dues money is used to finance and offset the cost of project materials (arts and crafts, for example) and field trips.

Thanks.

September 2008: NEW UNIFORM STYLES WERE INTRODUCED!!!

If they wish, scouts can wear their uniform proudly to school on days when there are meetings.

BSA has changed the style of the shirts and pants on all of the uniforms.  You can still wear the old style or you can purchase the new style from the Toms River Scout Store at 732-473-1796 or online at www.scoutstuff.org.

We run the Pack with a scout-friendly casual attitude. We don't do uniform inspections or count attendance and although we'd like your scout to participate in all events we know how busy all kids/families are. If your scout can only make Den meetings or only the monthly events - it doesn't matter - everyone is welcome.

This is what you need:

• Blue Short Sleeve Shirt (Webelos 1 can still wear blue shirts until they earn the Webelos badge (by Dec 2008).  Then they will need the tan shirts.  
• Wolf Cub Neckerchief and Slide
• World Scout Crest Emblem
• Cub Scout belt
• Jersey Shore Council Badge for the sleeve
• Pack Numbers 1 and 8 for 18 
• Optional - baseball cap, socks, pants. They sell Badge Magic that allows you to iron on the badges rather than sewing them on.

You can refer to the virtual uniform & insignia handbook, the Cub Scout and Webelos Scout uniform inspection sheet (pdf 87KB), or store guidance in where to sew the numbers, etc. Remember you received the Bobcat and Tiger Cub Badges (in the Spring) that need to go on the shirt as well. They are very helpful at the store....just ask them. They wear this shirt until they become a Webelos/4th grade so size accordingly.

For those who are not sure how to get to the Scout Store here's a map (150 kb jpg).

The Pack has funds for any family who can not meet the financial obligations of Scouting (uniform and/or dues). Please see Karen.

The Pack supplies their handbooks.  See your Den Leader if you did not receive one.

Dear Scouting Team,

Thank you all for offering to help out by attending our monthly 7PM Council Meetings at the Methodist Church in Manahawkin. Attached is the list of volunteers and the dates they have agreed to attend. If for some reason you can not attend, please find a replacement and pass along these instructions.

The objective is to simply attend and represent our Pack. That means to be our eyes and ears about what is going on in the Council. Be on the lookout for upcoming activities and opportunities for us to do things. After the meeting kindly collect any important handouts. Please send Karen an email with key notes from the meeting and bring the handouts to our next meeting to share with the leaders.

Directions: United Methodist Church 116 Strafford Avenue, Manahawkin 597-7666. Take 72 West to Rt. 9 – Go North (right) thru 1st intersection (old bay ave) and proceed straight on Rt. 9. It’s the next right (Stafford). Church is on your left across from the Firehouse about .25 mile down the road.

The schedule for the Friendship District Roundtable.
