May Newsletter
The May pack meeting was great! The Bears kicked off the meeting with a solemn flag ceremony, then the Tigers showed us the food pyramid poster they had made in their Den Meeting. The WEBELOS 1 gave us a skit on just saying no, and the WEBELOS 2 gave us a hilarious show for their Showman badge. A great time was had by all!

SCOUT STORIES: From Tiger to Boy Scouts
by Hunter Wurtz, WEBELOS 2, Arrow of Light
When I joined Cub Scouts as a Tiger, I made a lot of new friends. I also built things, like my first derby car. It was a little blue car that I named Speedier. We also had a boat race, which I won.
I went with daddy on my very first camp out. I helped my dad set up the tent, it was big and blue. Daddy and I had a lot of fun that day: we cooked hot dogs and hamburgers and sat around a big fire. We had hot chocolate and played games, like tag and hide and seek. We made skits like:
When I was a Wolf, we went on trips to the dinosaur dig where we dug for fossils and found really cool things. We did nature hikes, and my first Coastal Clean Up! We made up den songs, and went camping with our friends. I made another Pinewood Derby car that looked like an Army tank, and I won that year! I also went to summer camp again and learned to fish with bamboo poles. I also got shoot marshmallow shooters!
As a Bear, I learned how to tie knots, how to grow plants from seeds, and how to take care of my self. At camp I learned how to play Jedi Ball, Which I really liked that game, it's FUN!
My first year as a WEBELOS I learned first aid, and how to use my pocket knife. This is when I met my new best friend, Marcus, and my Mom met Mr. and Mrs. Drennen, they are the nicest people I ever met, they are like a family to me. I met a new friend Jonathan too.
That year my mom became the Cub Scout pack leader, and she was special, and my dad too. I got to make another derby car, it was a tank, it was really fast, I won 1st place, and again went to Cub Scout camp.
As a WEBELOS 2, I earned my whittling chip badge, and in three weeks, I will have earned my Arrow of Light! I will miss all my friends, but I have had alot of fun as a Cub Scout, The only sad part is I don't get to make derby cars anymore. I'm looking forward to being a Boy Scout.
Goodbye everyone, I'll see you when you come to Troop 43!

"We are the Tigers, the mighty mighty Tigers.
Everywhere we go, people wanna know...
who we are.. so we tell them:
We are the Tigers!"
That was also my first year of Cub Scout Family Camp. We had a lot of fun! I got to shoot a BB gun for the first time, and bow and arrows. We also learned about safe swimming. My Mom was our den leader.
