Attendees: Tom Kale, Paul Waldrop, Pam Harrison, Kathy Rapport.
Recharter
- Re-registering 34 scouts and 16 adults for 2008 for a total of $880. Amount is down from year's past due to large number of 5th grade Webelos (17) that are moving on to Boy Scouts.
Pine Wood Derby
-Location is the First Christian Church in Plano at 813 15th St. on Sat Feb 2. Look for the race flags.
-Tiger scouts can start checking in at 8:15am and all other ranks can check in at any time but it has to be no later than 15 minutes before their race. Once a car is checked in, it CANNOT be taken back to add anything more to it. Be sure it is ready when you hand it in.
Each rank races on the hour:
-Tigers at 9am
-Wolfs at 10am
-Bears at 11am
-Webelos 1 at noon
-Webelos 2 (Den 8) at 1pm
-Webelos 2 (Dens 10 & 11) at 2pm
-Grand Champion Race (1st, 2nd, 3rd place winners from each rank)
Sibling races will be fit in where there is time. First race may be around 9:30am since there are only 7 Tigers. Second race will be around 11:30am.
There will be a food court at the PWD with food for sale. Please bring individually wrapped baked good items that can be sold. (IE.... a couple cookies bagged together, brownie squares, rice krispie treats, cupcakes....)
We still could use some help in the Race Support area as well as the Food Court. Please email Pam Harrison at tul.time@tx.rr.com so you can get on the list. Remember every den has a time slot that needs to be filled in order to pull off this fun event.
