Monster Mash 2006: Muddy but Fun

Tiger Cubs learn to use a compass at the orienteering station

Muddy is an understatement. After a week of on and off rain, Parma Town Park was very soggy so once the Monster Mash activities began, the ground became oozing, sinking, sucking mud. But the scouts had a great time doing crafts, games, stilt races, tug-of-war, using a sling shot, and orienteering. They completed many elective, achievement, or award requirements.

Reminders

Hello all,

Just a quick note to remind you all that our pack meeting will be at Green Acre Farm on Latta Road at 6:00 pm this Thursday, October 19. We will be doing a hayride, eating donuts and cider, and enjoying a bonfire. They want us there a little early so that it is not too dark when we are parking. Also, please remember that there is a cost of $2.00 due that night for anyone who hasn't paid yet. The pack will cover the scout only all others need to pay the $2.00. Your den leader will be collecting the money there for anyone who hasn't paid already.

Also, a quick reminder that Saturday is Monster Mash and the cost for that is $5.00 per child for those that made reservations for this. The pack is paying for scouts. Parents have to pay for siblings. We will be collecting for that Thursday night for anyone who hasn't paid for this yet either. Please do not forget this.

Also, please remember to bring your popcorn order forms and money for those who sold popcorn. For those that didn't, remember there is a $30 buyout for this which is also due that night.

If you have any questions, please feel free to call either me or Wayne or email me.

PS. also, attached you will find a link for the "scouting healthform". We really need these filled out and brought to the hayride for all children attending, siblings included. Thanks again. We will make copies of these and keep them on file so that you don't have to fill one out EVERY activity. Click here for form

Thanks
Melanie

update: the cost is $3.00
