March Upcoming Events

Dear Tiger Cub Akelas,

First, congratulations to all the boys for achieving the rank of Tiger, and congratulations to you, their adult leaders, for helping them along the way! Don't forget to keep working on those electives in the back of the handbook with your Tiger Scout, so that he can continue to earn Tiger Track beads to put on his totem.

Next, I'd like to thank Brian C. (Elliott's dad) and the Erik F. (Joshua's dad) for planning our February den meeting and Go See It.  I think we all had a lot of fun!

The fun will continue in March!  Here are some dates to put on your calendar:

March 9: Go See It - Lowe's Build and Grow Clinic
501 S. Hurstbourne Pkwy
10:00 AM

March 13: Pack Meeting - K-9 Unit
St. Albert Courtyard
7:00 PM

March 25: Den Meeting
Hendricks Hall
6:30 PM

The build and grow clinic on 3/9 is free, but you do have to register ahead of time to reserve a spot.  I have already registered our entire den (so you DO NOT have to register yourself again), but do please let me know if you will NOT be able to attend.

I'll send out reminders and more details as the dates get closer.

See you all on the 9th!

February 23 - Go See It: Slugger Museum

Dear Tiger Cub Akelas,

Our next Go See It will be this Saturday, February 23, at the Louisville Slugger Museum, located at 800 W. Main Street.  Our scheduled tour time is 10:00 AM.  Please arrive early!

The cost is $5 per person (adults & children).  Erik F. (Josh's dad) has made our reservation for us and will be paying for our group in advance.  Please bring cash with you to reimburse him for your tickets.

Also, because we have a set reservation for our group, we need to know in advance how many will be coming.  Please RSVP to me no later than Wednesday, February 20!  I need to know if you're coming or not, and how many people you will be bringing if you are.

See you all then!

February 12 - Den Meeting

Dear Tiger Cub Akelas,

Our February Den Meeting will be held next Tuesday, February 12, at 6:30 PM in the basement of Hendricks Hall.  Brian C. (Elliott's dad) will be organizing our activity.

As a reminder, all of our boys should be on track to receive their Tiger Badge at the Blue & Gold Banquet on February 24.  In order to receive his Tiger Badge, each boy must complete all 15 of the achievements described in the 5 chapters of the Tiger Handbook. 

Before our den meeting on Tuesday, please work on completing the 5 at-home family achievements and catching up on any of the other den activities or Go See Its you may have missed.  For a complete list of the achievements, you may refer to your handbook or the Achievements and Electives page on our den website:

Also, I need to know which belt loops your scout would like to receive at the banquet.  As I mentioned at our last meeting, the Pack will pay for 5 belt loops each year.  You may send my your list via email. For a list of the belt loops and to see the requirements for each (click on the picture of any specific belt loop to the requirements), you may follow this link:

Finally, I've been informed that your Blue & Gold Banquet reservations ($10 per family) must be turned in by the 19th.  You may turn your money in to me at the meeting next week, or you may send it via kidmail per the flyer that was emailed previously.

As always, if you have any questions, please let me know.

See you all at the Den Meeting on Tuesday!

February 9 - Go See It: Courier-Journal

Dear Tiger Cub Akelas,

This is a reminder that our next Go See It is this Saturday, February 9th, at the Courier-Journal. Our tour will start at 10:00 AM. Please arrive at least ten minutes early! If you arrive late, you may not be able to join up with the rest of the group once the tour starts.

We will meet Phil White, Press Operations Manager, in the security lobby of the Courier-Journal building, located at 525 W. Broadway.

Thanks to Renee R. (Nolan's mom) for setting this up for us!

See you all there!
