Welcome! Join Pack 227!

Pack 227 is sponsored by the St. Bonaventure Men’s Club located in Huntington Beach, CA. We have spring and fall recruitment events, but new scouts may join at any time (hint — get in on all the summer fun!). Many of the scouts come from St. Bonaventure School, but not all.  We encourage any boy who wants to have a fun time to join our pack wherever you are from, and adult leaders, too!

Queen Mary Sleepover

Den leaders and parents, we are pleased to announce that we have
made reservations for an overnight “camp” at the Queen Mary in Long
Beach from Saturday early evening, March 10th to Sunday morning, March
11th. This schedule should hopefully not interfere with any Little
League baseball games.
This event is open to all Scouts and their
families. The cost is $35 per person (adults and children are the same
price). The price includes 2 tours (the Educational Tour and the Russian
submarine “Scorpion”) and an all you can eat buffet breakfast on Sunday
morning (breakfast includes, cereals, oatmeal, scrambled eggs, sausage,
bacon, waffles, pastries, juices, milk, coffee, etc). The cost does not
include dinner on Saturday night. You can either bring sandwiches, etc
with you or eat on board the ship (Promenade Cafe or Hollywood Deli).

Also, there are other tours available if you have time but you would
have to pay for them separately. Additional information can be found on
the Queen Mary website (www.queenmary.com). We will be sleeping as a
group in the spacious “Capstan Room” with its own private deck located
at the stern of the ship. You will need to bring a sleeping bag, air
mattress, etc.
To guaranty yourself a spot, please e-mail me the names of each
person in your family that will be attending and mail or drop off a
check, made payable to “Pack 227″. For those of you with scouts that
attend St. Bonaventure, you can drop off your check (in an envelope marked
“Pack
227″) to the school office. This event will probably sell out so make
your reservation early.

Cake Auction 2012

Monday, Jan. 23 is the first Pack meeting of 2012. This meeting will be
our 2nd Annual Cake Auction also known as “Parent/Scout Cake Bake”.
This event will be hosted by Den 6.

All scouts are asked to bake a cake, preferably with their parent and
bring it to the pack meeting to auction them off.

This is an opportunity for you & your scout to design, bake and
decorate a cake together.

The themes/categories are as follows:

Most Patriotic
Best Cub Scout Theme
Best use of Decorations
Most Original Cake
Most Colorful Cake
Biggest Cake
Tallest Cake
Flattest Cake
Best “All Edible” Cake
Judge’s Choice

The Pack meeting will start at 6:30pm and Ramon Perez will be there at
5:30pm if families want to drop off their cakes early. The scouts will
place their cakes on their respective den tables.

Each den will pick the best cake from their table to be placed on the
live auction table and these cakes will be auctioned off during the last
half of the evening. All the other cakes will be part of the silent
auction and there will be bid sheets for this on each den table. There
will also be slips of paper for the scouts to identify their cakes.

Winners will pay for their cakes that night by cash or check and will
take their cakes home that evening.

We would like ALL cakes to sell so please keep an eye on bid sheets
and consider bidding, if a cake looks like it might not sell.

This is a fundraiser for the pack so please “Do Your Best”.

Feel free to invite friends and family to see & bid on the cakes.

If you have any questions, please contact your Den Leader.

Thanks,
Ramon Perez

Dues, Health and Medical Record Forms

Wolf, Bear & Webelos 1 & 2 Dens have dues due by the September Pack
Meeting. The dues is $50 & is payable to Pack 227.

All Tiger Dens & new scouts (new since Spring 2011) have paid their
dues for this year. All Tigers & new scouts will pay dues at this time
next year.

Health & Medical Record forms are also due at the Pack Meeting. All
Den Leaders should have parents turn in 2 copies, one is for you, the
Den Leader & the other will go to me, Dani the Pack Secretary. I will
keep this on file so that in case of an emergency all records are
together.

You should have your records with you at all Den Meetings, Pack
Meetings, Go See It’s & any overnighters you are at.

The forms can be found on the Council website under “Resources” (top
red border), then on the right click on the Health & Safety Resources.
Parents need to fill out Parts A & B annually. Last time forms were
filled out were last year at this time for most of our scouts. This is
to protect, you the Den Leader & the scout.

Please make this easy on all of us & collect these before the Pack
Meeting.
