Join us for a fun-filled day at the

Camp Indian Trails Climbing Walls

Sunday, May 6th

9:00 - 3:30

5801 N River Road

Camp Indian Trails has two climbing walls - a 25 ft Cub Wall and a more challenging 50 ft. wall. Most of our day will be spent at the Cub Wall and the 50 ft wall will also be available in the afternoon for those interested. We will be joined by a group of trained and experienced climbing instructors who will work with us in small groups. The day will begin at 9:00, we'll break for lunch (bring a sack lunch) and finish by 3:30.

For more information on the climbing program at Camp Indian Trails, see www.climbingtower.org

Cost: 
$7.00 per scout (Rate is $15.00 per climber - Pack 443 will be picking up the remaining $8.00 for each registered scout).

Parents are encouraged to join in and climb and there is no fee for adult climbers.

Directions to Camp Indian Trails can be found here: Camp Indian Trails 

What to Bring 
Loose clothing (dress for the weather), Sack Lunch, Sunscreen, Water bottle, Camera, Rain gear, Hat & Sunglasses, Closed toe shoes/boots (No Sandals) 

There are a number of forms that must be filled out for each climber (adults included). I will have these forms available at the April 19th Pack meeting. If you won't' be attending the Pack meeting or would like the forms emailed directly to you, please send me a request at rdodson@frontier.com

Return the completed forms and payment (checks made payable to Pack 443) to Rebecca Dodson (126 Waldorf Court) by Monday, April 30th. 

Next Pack Meeting Thursday March 8 (6:30 p.m.) at Royal Oaks

Hello Families,

The next Pack meeting will be held next Thursday (6:30 p.m.) at Royal Oaks.  The topic will be a health presentation from the UW Med School, including actual preserved human organs to look at.

Please email if you have any concerns about your scout being squeamish about this and we'll do whatever we can to accommodate those scouts, as the organs will only be part of the presentation / meeting.

Thanks!

Rain Gutter Regatta delayed until Dec. 1st, the Sun Prairie Police K-9 unit will attend the Nov. 10 Pack Meeting

After we originally scheduled the Regatta for next Thursday, the school scheduled an event on top of it that will take away many or all of our Webelo II's.  So the Regatta will happen at our December 1st Pack Meeting.  Also, we realize that many families have not done the Regatta before, and we will be sending additional details shortly on how to build the boats.

At our November 10 Pack Meeting next Thursday, we are fortunate to have the Sun Prairie Police K-9 Unit attending.  Note that they are unable to arrive until 6:45 or 7:00, so next Thursday's Pack Meeting may not end until 7:45 or possibly 8:00.  I'll send another reminder of this early next week.

Thanks!

Scouting for Food a Big Success!

Thank you to all the scouts and their families who helped with our service project, Scouting for Food.


As a result of your hard work and the generosity of the Royal Oaks neighborhood, we were able to deliver more than 500 food and personal care items to the Emergency Food Pantry at Sunshine Place.


As we learned during our short tour of the food pantry, the shelves are very bare - especially considering the upcoming holidays - and the donations we delivered today are very much appreciated and needed.


Thank you again for your volunteer effort and your commitment to Pack 443!

Scouting for Food - Part 2

Saturday we will be completing the second half of our service project for the Sunshine Place Emergency Food Pantry.

Please meet in the parking lot of Royal Oaks at 1:00 p.m. where we will distribute maps for food pick up. This process should take 30 mins to 1 hour. 

Once the food is collected, we will count the items donated and deliver them to the food pantry.

Please return unsold popcorn to Mark this weekend or Monday morning

The sale ends today!  Congratulations and thanks for your work.

Per my email below, please return unsold popcorn this weekend

(or Monday morning).

I have to return it to the Council office before the end of the day Monday, or else we are stuck with it!

I'll be around most of this weekend (afternoons and evenings are best, Sunday morning is booked), or feel free to call (my cell phone is working again) and set up a time for this weekend, or Monday morning if you are out of town this weekend.

Also please bring in your money and order forms, and let me know what PRIZES to order for your scouts. I'll email the prize information again in case you don't have it.
I have to make prize orders to the Council by end of day TUESDAY.

Also by the end of day Tuesday, I have to order any popcorn

that you sold that either you didn't have in stock,

or I don't have in my garage.  So let me know if you need

anything along those lines.

I think that's it.  Thanks again!

Mark

Again we'll meet in the Royal Oaks parking lot at 1:00 pm to begin the food pick up. This process goes much faster and should take no longer than one hour.
