Re: Meeting tomorrow?

The Shutterfly calendar looks correct.  For me it was defaulting to a
list-of-events view instead of the calendar view for some reason, but
once I changed to the regular calendar view I could see tomorrow's
meeting.

It will send out an email to all members 24 hours before the meeting.

I added a note about dues and uniforms (dues any time this month,

uniforms encouraged by next week's meeting.)

Note that I put three meetings on the calendar for this month (14th,
21st, 28th) so there won't be an off week at the end of the month.
If anyone objects, speak up!

I don't have the main activity planned yet, I'll think about that tonight,

suggestions and help welcome!  I do have a few small things planned

and a few format changes based on recommendations at the Cubmaster

training I attended.  But we do need a primary activity.

Will the site send a remainder email? Can you force that?

Is there a meeting tomorrow? There was a pack meeting scheduled for 9/14, but it's not on the shutterfly schedule anymore. The general info page says there's a meeting tomorrow. 

Mike - can you confirm if there is a meeting and whether it will be a pack or den meeting.

Thanks!

The kids love to build stuff. I did some searches for building pack activities and found the idea of a mini battle.

The basic premise would be that each den can create some targets (of a specified size) and some catapults or rubber-band canons. Then we give the kids the same amount of ammo and they get to fire are the other team's targets. Whichever has the most hits wins.

While the kids are building, we can talk to the parents about volunteering and schedule of events.

Did anyone volunteer for the Tigers? What's the status of the Wolves this year?

[Jason Wendling]

Another option is to have the leaders bring a bunch of junk - tubes, cardboard, string, rubber bands, dominos, kitchen utensils, wooden blocks, etc - for each den to construct a Rube Goldberg contraption. Then, have them demonstrate and compete for most number of steps on a given goal like "move a golfball up 4ft and over 6ft".

However, this may take a lot more parent involvement and the full time. It may be disappointing for any teams that can't finish in time.

[Mike Ditto]

Those ideas both sound good, I'll think it over later tonight (more
ideas still welcome).
​
We have at least two wolves.

I'll cajole the Wolf and Tiger parents for den leader volunteers
tomorrow.​

[Wylie]

I can help with the Tigers if needed since I'll have a tiger this year. Ideally I would like to have someone else take the lead as I want to be open to help my other sons in bear and webelos II. I'm flexible to do what is most needed. 

Thanks!

​So let's do the Rube Goldberg machines.

We can group into 3 or 4 teams.
I'll bring some parts, everyone bring something you think could be
useful - string, rolling toys, blocks, sticks, balls, paper, masking
tape... Jason, do you have the giant Jenga set?  That would be
a good source of blocks.

The goal will be to lift the designated object off the table - the
highest final position wins.
