Popcorn
We are into the final push of the Popcorn Sale! All popcorn orders and money have to be turned in at the Halloween Pack Party on October 27th at 6 PM at the American Legion.
This is the big fundraiser of the year. We don't do another. This has to carry us all year long. When you realize that each belt loop costs the pack more than a dollar you can see how fast it all ads up when we have about 30 boys in the pack. Several boys earned more than six awards each from summer camp alone. It adds up quickly. If your son has not sold anything, please set a goal of selling four or five items in the next two weeks. It will make a world of difference.
Congratulations to the following Cubs for their Popcorn Salesmanship:
Reese St. Pierre won a Dairy Queen gift certificate two weeks ago and followed up with a gift card to K-Mart for having sold the most items overall. Joseph Beaulieu was our top seller last week and also received a K-Mart gift card. I know we have several Cubs who are going to sell big this week as they want a shot at a prize next week. We will give out a big prize at the pack meeting. These prizes were donated to the Pack by my wife and I to help encourage the boys to sell more popcorn. They will also be able to order prizes at the end of the sale based on how much they sell.

Rocket Launch
Nice job at the rocket launch on Tuesday. In support of that outstanding program, I have found a link to NASA and their information model rocketry programs. http://www.grc.nasa.gov/WWW/K-12/rocket/rktparts.html and some information about astronauts who had been scouts:http://www.usscouts.org/eagle/eagleastronauts.asp Feel free to incorporate any of this stuff in your next den meeting if you like to cap off the rocket launch program. Again, thanks to Chris, Paul, Gary and George for organizing the launch! Here is some information about what is happening in the skies overhead the rest of this month:
Oct. 16. Saturn and Venus will be 7 degrees north of the waning crescent moon this morning.
Oct.18. New moon is at 1:33 a.m.
Oct.25. First quarter moon is at 8:42 pm and the moon is also at apogee, or farthest from earth.
Oct. 27. Jupiter will be three degrees south of the waxing gibbous moon tonight.
Oct. 28. On this day in 1971 Britain becomes only the 6th nation to launch a satellite.

Halloween Party- Tuesday Oct 27 6 PM at the American Legion. Kids (Cubs and Siblings) come in costume. Each den will run a station (ideas are pumpkin bowling, eating mini donut off a string, etc). Den leaders, please shoot me a note what stations you will run for this event. Thanks. Kids will travel from station to station and do the fun things at each station. We will have a costume parade. Kids will leave with a little candy bag. Parents are welcome to bring in some candy to help fill the bags :)
Scouts in the News
The Capital Weekly ran an article about our Cubs attending summer camp and getting their awards at the September meeting. Here is the link. http://capital.villagesoup.com/place/story/scouts-blast-off-to-new-adventures/201508 The paper is now free and distributed at most supermarkets, etc around town.
Religious Emblems
I would encourage everyone to work with their son on their religious emblem. Scouting does not advocate any particular religion but it is one of those cornerstones of life that lead to a well-rounded adult. There are links on the pack website.
