drinks (Eric), ice (Eric), cups (Sean), plates (Coleen?) and eating utensils (Chris – from
Chilis?).

Tentative schedule
Mark Pease (with grill [and charcoal?]) and Chris Waldron (with burgers) to
arrive at 10:30 a.m. to set up, with the goal of starting the charcoal at 11:00,
putting the burgers on the grill by 11:30, and eating at noon. Heather McAuslane,
and any other helpers, will show up at 10:30 to put out tables and help with setup.
Activities for the cub scouts and siblings - 11:00 till 12:00
Lunch – 12:00 till 12:45
Graduation ceremony – 1:00 till 1:45 p.m.
Games, water slide (tentative – Jennifer Waldron is checking on price and
availability) – 1:45 till 3:00 p.m.

Head count – Connie needs a headcount of all family members attending by Wednesday,
May 14th. Please make sure to indicate if you want veggie burgers rather than
hamburgers or hotdogs.

Den leaders:
1. Please recruit parents in your dens to help serve food, pour drinks, help run the
games, and cleanup. Den leaders will be busy organizing their boys for the
graduation ceremony.
2. Please arrange to get new neckerchiefs and slides for your Tigers, Wolves, and
Bears. Scrubs by Design in the Oaks Mall Plaza should have them but act quickly
as they often run out of stock at this time of year.

Pack-wide summer activities – The first activity will be to meet for a day at the beach on
Saturday, June 21st at Frank Butler Park, north of Crescent Beach. More details will be
supplied later. As many leaders as possible (however, only those that know their BSA
member number) should take the Safe Swim Defense online course
(http://olc.scouting.org/). Print out your certificate once you have successfully completed
the test and bring it to the beach.
