San Ramon Art & Wind Festival-Volunteers Needed!!
It’s that time of the year again! We are asking the entire Pack 1776 Cub Scout family to participate in the sales of our Cotton Candy Fundraiser at the 2012 San Ramon Art & Wind Festival.
Last year, in addition to having a great time, we were able to raise enough money to keep our annual dues at the same low rate in previous years, while earning extra cash to present fun, new events, like the Raingutter Regatta and the Chabot Outdoor Pack Meeting.
In an effort to ensure that everyone has an equal opportunity to participate, please note the following guidelines:
1.) At least one parent is required to be with their participating scout in this fundraiser but the entire family is most welcome to join and have fun.
2.) Each shift must have at least 1 Scout Leader present. There will be no more than 4 scouts present inside the booth during any shift.
3.) Try to remember to maintain a Scout attitude while participating in this fundraiser. Don't forget that you are all perfect 1776 Gentlemen. We should always thank those who we have asked and always wish them a good day, to encourage proper attitude demonstrating good manners and conduct. Class A uniform.
LOCATION: Central Park-Booth#4 Alcosta Blvd

Memorial Day Weekend Flag Planting – RSVP by tomorrow
As a reminder, we are participating in a Memorial Day grave decoration this year at Golden Gate National Cemetery in San Bruno on Saturday, May 28th. This is typically one of the most meaningful events of the year, given the importance of the holiday and direct involvement the scouts will have in honoring our nation's fallen heroes. The ceremony will begin promptly at 8:30am and we will likely be completed with the flag planting by 10:30am.
Please take a moment and RSVP for this event so we know how many patches to order for our pack. You can do so through the evite link below:

Raingutter Regatta Pack Meeting Tonight…Class B uniforms
Sending a quick reminder the Raingutter Regatta pack meeting is tonight at 7:00pm, and class B (pack t-shirts) are the attire. Usual location...Coyote Creek MPR. Boys will probably get a little wet, so no need for the full class A uniform.
The event tonight will be a lot of fun, and our goal is fun and SAFE! With water comes some risk. Our priorities are safety first, then fun, and we will have both! Most of the leaders will be busy running the races, so please help us keep the boys safe by monitoring the boys and areas around the tracks for spilled water. If you see water on the floor please help keep the floors around the track dry. There will be towels and a mop.
Looking forward to seeing everyone tonight!
Thanks,
Steve

Pack Meeting – Tomorrow in the MPR April 18
Don't forget, we have a Pack Meeting tomorrow, Wednesday evening at the MPR, 7:00.
Many of you will be advancing to the next levels of scouting. You have worked so hard this year in your den meetings under the guidance of our World Class Den Leaders and parents, that you have completed your achievements.
Awards Chair Ammy Pluth picked up all of the necessary awards. (She loves to shop, by the way).
Tigers are graduating to Wolves
Wolves are graduating to Bears
Bears are graduating to Webelos I's
Remember at our last meeting, Webelos I's graduated to Webelos II. Pretty cool, now it's your turn.
We will sing a couple of songs. Since you guys are grown up, I say we pull out the Marshall Amp and Gibson Les Paul, save the acoustic for camping.
Plus, Committee Chair Steve and I have a surprise graduation present for you. It's a surprise. That means you have to see it for yourself! You'll need it for our last pack meeting of the year in May.
Get Ready to Rock and Roll Forward Tomorrow!
Pack 1776 Spring Camping
Pack 1776 Families,
Come join us for some spring camping at beautiful New Brighton Beach State Park!!
The campground is located about one mile from downtown Capitola and is a short walk to a half mile long beach backed by bluffs that offer amazing ocean views and is forested with cypress and Monterey pine. Raccoons, deer and other animals inhabit this wooded upland as well as the park’s grassy coastal terrace where the campground and picnic area are situated. Migrating monarch butterflies winter in the park’s groves. The campground has ample bathrooms and showers and the average high temperature in May is 72° and the average low is 49°.
As always, the cost is minimal - $15/person/night which covers the site, food, and all activities. If you decide to stay only one night, please let us know which night you are staying.
** All scouts who sign up will receive their very own mess kit to use during the trip and to keep as their own **
We also highly encourage all other family members to bring their own reusable dining sets for meal times to reduce our trash and our Pack footprint.
Payment MUST be received BY May 1st to secure your spots! This is to allow for proper planning and selection of helpers. No excuses please. A standard policy of No Refunds applies. We are limited to 33 campers for this trip so get your payment in early.
Please feel free to contact me with questions via email.
