Optional: Pinewood
Derby Early Weight check, track preview and Car Talk.
Bring your
completed cars (just kidding!) or all your parts and what you plan to use
for weights to the school cafeteria between 6 & 7 pm to check your
weight on the official scales and to see why the ground clearance specs in
the instructions are so important.
Pick up some tips for either faster cars or
faster paint drying times, ways to hide the weights, what you can/can't do
to wheels, etc. You can pick up
extra cars there too for the "open" race or to replace ones that
are broken already. Will have 6 or so. |

Pinewood Derby!
Sharpen those tools, get your drafting boards out! If you're
the "eager beaver" type, check out the Publications
Forms & Maps page
for rules, hints, and details from previous years.
Mr. Sevcik is putting the event committee
together. If you have a desired position, get on the committee so
you won't get assigned to something different. |

Ask Mr. Behringer about it!
On Saturday, Jan. 25, '03, St. Basil's Pack
652 and probably another pack will be renting the "Skate
Station" facilities for a scout outing at a roller skate
facility. There will be a small charge per skater ($3) to help
cover the facility and DJ. Add skate rent is $3 for inline and $1.50 for
regular skates. We'll be gauging interest at the next few meetings. This
is the day after our Pinewood Derby. |

Christmas Pack Meeting.
The Webelos 4 Den is making the arrangements. See
the newsletter.
We'll meet in the Independence Old Elmwood
Recreation Blg. for our Christmas Meeting. This is the older
building next to (north of) the pond.
Please bring a non-perishable food item that
we'll take to the St. Catherine's Food Bank.
We'll have the regular meeting and then lots
of activities - crafts, caroling, drinks and snacks. We've even put
in a request for a visit from Santa!
Signups for Breakfast in Bethlehem Service,
Skating Outing, and Pinewood Derby planners.
Come prepared to nominate someone for
Cubmaster, Ast. Cubmaster and Committee Chair! Don't be caught
without an idea of who you're going to point at when the time comes.
(It was in the spring of 1996 that Mr. Noble nominated Mr. Bellmore to be
Ast. Cubmaster.) Your nomination doesn't commit
the nominee but it's a vote of confidence that the nominee is the kind of
person you want setting the example and helping to lead your son in
scouting. Remember, there are plenty of high quality packs with
women Cubmasters and Assistants.
We all have busy lives which largely revolve
around our children and scouting can be a rewarding activity for
families. Do you part to nominate your leaders and then support them
in their positions.
The "By the Book" position
descriptions are available in our "Publications" section.

Breakfast in
Bethlehem.
Once again we'll be "Doing our Duty"
by serving the pancake breakfast at this parish event.
The "shifts" are 9-10:30 and
11-12:30. You will be able to make the masses at the ends of the
shifts.
We need scouts to serve (in uniform), do place
settings, and cleanup. Not all parents need to stay but we need some to
serve coffee. The scouts are eager to show what they can do, guests
are pleasantly surprised at the behavior of the wholesome young men, and
event organizers are impressed with the boy's dedication and abilities.
Sign up for your preferred shift at the Dec 13
mtg. or you can just wait for Mr. Bellmore to call you! |

Brecksville Christmas
Parade and Tree Lighting. We're group 36. We'll meet between
3:30 and 3:45 - we'll be given our location later but it will probably be
on Crestview Drive across from the Brecksville Library. Park
at the Library.
The Brecksville
web site has details and maps.
The hardy few braved the elements to bring
back the gold! (We were rewarded with a gold trophy presented by the
Mayor.) I don't know if anyone stayed for the tree lighting
ceremony - We grabbed some donuts and hot coco and then headed home.
It was great fun though.

Show up - in uniform or not. We sit in
the left-front section with our families but you can sit in your usual
place if you'd prefer. Spread the word - Deacon Bob usually does a
very nice ceremony during the mass - might motivate your scout or bring a
tear to parents and grandparents.
