Thanks to everyone who joined us tonight at our 'magical' pack meeting! I hope you and your scout(s) and siblings had as good a time as we did!
The January newsletter is available for download here. In it you will find information on our upcoming Pinewood derby, the council redistricting project, a little known achievement your scout can easily earn, and dates for upcoming events. I hope you enjoy it!
As a reminder, the January Family Camp is almost here. Spaces go fast, so don't wait too long to sign up! The camp itself will be January 28th and 29th. This will be at Camp Soule, which is right in our own backyard (Soule road is between Sunset Point and McMullen Booth off of Union) so we highly encourage the entire pack to attend. To register, click the register link on this page.
Cub Scout Pack 43 is chartered with the Holy Spirit Episcopal Church of Safety Harbor, Florida. Most of our members attend Safety Harbor Elementary or Eisenhower Elementary Schools, but we welcome other boys in the area who are interested in joining Cub Scouting. Our pack has been in existence for 59 years, servicing the families of Safety Harbor with safe, fun, character building activities for boys between the ages of 7 and 11 and their families.

CUBMASTER'S MINUTE: Do Your Best in 2012
by Andrea Drennen, Pack 43 Cubmaster
Hi everyone, it's the first meeting of the new year, and that means that myself and Mr. Drennen are now officially the cub masters for Pack 43. Please rest assured that we are as dedicated to Pack 43's success as Ms. Bonnie, and we will be working closely with her to keep the pack running smoothly! I promise we will work hard to help the pack go!
Speaking of promises... Because of the new year, the topic of New Year's Resolutions has been popping up all over the place. This has got me thinking - what is a resolution but a promise that you make to yourself? How is it then, that these promises are the ones most often not kept?
In Cub Scouting, we make a lot of promises to our boys. We promise to teach them new skills, to help them build character, to become more independant, to introduce them to experiences that are not as common in today's digital age, and to help them do their best in everything.
I think it's time we start pushing ourselves as parents and as adult leaders to make good on these promises. It's so easy to let time slip by without getting out and doing something toward these goals. There's a lot there! But Cub Scouting provides us with a framework to achieve all of these things, and more.
Remember Cub Scouting is built for family involvement, not just meetings and pack events. Whenever you have an opportunity to provide your scout with a learning experience, like helping out in the kitchen or reading a map to navigate to a new location, take it! Your Scout will be enriched with the new knowledge, and chances are he can be rewarded for it with an achievement at the next pack meeting!
I am so proud of our pack. We have dedicated adult leaders, eager scouts and supportive families. There's nothing more we could ask for as a group. So let's promise to get outside more this year, bring our boys together toward our common goals, and work together to keep our promises to the pack, the scouts, and ourselves!
Happy New Year Pack 43!
