Space Derby 1/11/2018

Our January pack meeting will be an indoor space derby.  All scouts can build a rocket and blast off. 
Please RSVP now in scoutbook for any scouts that wish to participate.  If your plans change we understand.  Please also add a note about any other siblings that wish to participate.  We need this information so that we may order the correct amount of rubber band/ propeller race kits and not over purchase and have to return surplus. For any kids that did not sell $300 in popcorn we ask for a ten dollar activity fee to cover the cost of the kit, awards and track.  See Mr. Killgore with money and to pick up a kit.  We would like to get the kits to you in November so that you and your scout can work on it together over the holidays.  This is a balsa wood kit that does not require the use of any saws, knives or power tools.  Sand paper, elmers glue and tempra paints are about all you need to complete this fun craft.  Lions and Tigers will need some assistance but can do this craft and participate.

Sled Riding & Ice Fishing: 1/27/2018

On Saturday, January 27, 2018, the Webelos and AOL scouts can attend the Ice Fishing outing with Boy Scout Troop 794 for the day!  There will also may be some sledding and wind sledding.  

RSVP to scoutbook

Date: 1/27/18
Time: 7:30 am to 4:00 pm
Location: Tahosa Scout Ranch
Address: 173 Co Rd 96, Ward, CO 80481

We will meet at Mission Hills Church at 7:30 am with the Troop, and will drive to Boulder.  In Boulder, we will meet for breakfast at the McDonalds on Baseline Road off 36.  From there, we will drive up to Tahosa for a day of ice fishing, sled riding and winter fun.  We will drive up boulder canyon from the middle of town.

We will have access to the heated dining hall where we can put on snow pants and boots as well as warm up and eat lunch.  A complementary lunch will be provided by the Troop.

This is a great opportunity to participate in an outdoors event with the Troop, and for the Arrow of Light scouts to complete their Scouting Adventure requirements.  While the Boy Scouts will be camping there that night, the Webelos scouts can only attend during the day.  We will need to return to littleton by 5:30 that day.

Scouts and leaders must travel in uniform shirts and pack their snow gear in a bag they can cary into the building.  Helmets are required for sled riding and active games on the ice.  A bike helmet will be fine but ski helmets are warmer.  You will want to bring a sled.

Unless prior arrangements are made with leadership, parent participation is required for Webelos and AOL scouts and the scouts will need to ride with their parents.  A waiver is required for each scout.  We will also need the medical forms submitted to the pack.  All Webelos scouts and adults attending will want to be prepared for very cold winter conditions for this outing.  Do not wear cotton clothing as a base layer but a wicking layer instead.  Here are some tips: Winter Camping

We also have a few BSA travel rules that we need to follow.  You may only have someone else's child in your car if they are in the back seat and your child or another parent is in the car.  Our day trips are limited to 10 hours.  ( no sleepy tired leaders driving)  We do not convoy/ caravan.  Instead we meet up at way points for food and restrooms.  Do not follow each other with you lights on. (Keep your eyes up watching traffic and drive the speed comfortable for your vehicle or trailer rig obeying all traffic laws.)  The short camp road and parking lot will probably be snow pack and is on a slope.

794 Food Drive for MHC: 11/11/2017 8:30-Noon

Event: 794 Food Drive For MHCWhere: Coffee Shop and Fireplace MHCWhen: 11/11/2017 8:30-Noon  Pack 794 Families,I hope all our scouts are able to support T794 and MHC for all they do for us. This is the only thing we do for them every year. The food collected will go to the food pantry for mission Hills church to help feed needy families. It's a great way to help Mission Hills Church. This also fulfills a Duty To God required adventure point for most ranks in that we are supporting our faith community or charter org. through service. We will be walking through neighborhoods with two or three adults in each group and a car to put the food in. All scouts should be accompanied by a parent partner. If you are not able to come with your scout, talk to your den leader to find an adult that the scout will be assigned to for the entirety of the event and leave a message here in scoutbook. If you bring another scout with you to the event make sure your scout is also with you in the car and that your guest is not riding in the front seat. Please RSVP through scoutbook so T794 will know how many to expect.Hope to see you there,
Sean

2017 Pop Corn Sales

Greetings parents of Pack 794,

The pop, pop, popcorn season has arrived. We rolled out the popcorn program during our August pack meeting and scouts can start to sell now. There are some great prizes and opportunities for your scout to pay their way for the 2017 scouting year. You will find attached to this email a sales log, prize form and sales incentive award tiers unique to our pack. Selling popcorn is a great way to build confidence and a sense of ownership in your scout.

If door to door sales is not your scout’s comfort or if your new to your area and would rather reach out to your family, take advantage of the much improved Trail’s End website for online sales. Your scout can build their own page, including a video, that you can send out to family, friend and those in your social network. The online store is full of popcorn and unique items only found there.

https://www.trails-end.com/

This also happens to be our pack’s biggest fundraiser this year and hoping that each scout can sell enough to reach $700 that will pay their way for this coming year. If your scout needs motivation and is a football fan, there is great Bronco’s experience that can be earned. This experience will last all season long and includes meeting current players, exclusive access to the stadium and holiday parties that they can attend.

If you have any questions, would like to discuss the program or would like to have your scout talk to our Popcorn Kernel for some one on one  sales coaching, please contact Jason Crew at 720-361-3443. His scout is in the Bear Den and he will be available at all Thursday meetings with forms and support.

Spring 2017 Recruiting at MHC

Mission Hills Recruiting: May 6 & 7

Summer is the best time for scouting and we want to invite boys to join us for all the fun we have outside!  We will be starting the new year of Cub Scouting in May with Cub Scout Sign Up night.  In preparation for that, we will be doing some recruiting at Mission Hills on May 6 & 7.  As well as some schools in the area.  If you can help, please let me know.  Check back here for more details.

Our wonderful chartering organization allows us to hand out flyers in many of the Sunday school classrooms but we need an adult for each room in order for this to happen.  The teachers are too busy checking out the kids.  I need some adults to help.  The boys are welcome to help or go to Sunday school. The boys should come in their best full uniforms. Adults please wear new pack t shirt if you have one.  If not, a light blue shirt.   This will let them know we are a part of what they are doing. Please let me know if and when you can help even if you normally go to church elsewhere. We will meet in the Rahaplace hallway on Saturday evening at 5:15  for 45 minutes and Sunday morning at 9:30 and 11:15. I hope everyone can make it to one of the services to help. No one is expected to attend all of them. One is great. Check back here for updates.
Yours in Christ and Scouting,
Sean West
