Service Opportunity - Houston Food Bank

We would like to give the boys a chance to help serve and are asking they each bring some canned goods that will be donated to the Houston Food Bank. We would like to fill a big box full if we can. There is a list below of items they are in need of.



THE HOUSTON FOOD BANK NEEDS OUR HELP!

The Houston Food Bank is working hard to provide relief to families and individuals who were affected by Hurricane Ike. They are supplying food and other necessities to partner agencies and to temporary shelters in and around the Houston area. We are asking ward members to bring non-perishable food items to the church this Sunday. We will have boxes set up at each side of the chapel for you to drop off your donation. Sister Carolyn Gardner has volunteered to take food donations to the warehouse.

Most Needed Food Drive Items

The following list includes the food items most needed by the hunger relief agencies served by the Houston Food Bank. Please choose plastic containers or canned items rather than glass.

Protein:

Canned tuna or chicken, packed in water
Canned stews and pasta with meat (easy on salt and fat)
Peanut butter
Canned fruits in light syrup, natural applesauce
100% juice in cans or boxes (no glass, please)
Canned vegetables, tomatoes, tomato sauce
Soups with meat and/or beans, meal-in-a-can (easy on salt and fat)
Cereals and cereal bars (easy on sugar and fat)
Pasta, spaghetti, macaroni, noodles
Packages of dry beans

For the safety of those we serve, the Houston Food Bank is unable to accept open packages, baby food, homemade food items, perishable foods, or items with expired dates.

To keep up with the growing need for food, they need funds to purchase truckloads of urgently needed, high-demand items. They are also in need of volunteers to process and distribute these items. To donate money on-line, you can go to www.houstonfoodbank.org and click on the "Donate Funds" link in the left-hand menu. They can take your donation on-line. If you are interested in volunteering, click on "Volunteer" in the left-hand menu to sign up on-line. Their warehouse is at 3811 Eastex Freeway (at the corner of 59N and Cavalcade).

Thank you for your compassion in this time of great need.

If you have any questions or want to contact the Houston Food Bank, their contact information is below.

Ashley E. Estes, J.D.

Change of Plans

It has been awhile and I hope everyone survived the Hurricane with little damage if none and I really hope everyone has electricity again. Due to this natural disaster, our special guest for tomorrow night will not be able to be with us as he is working overtime to help those in need.

SOOOO, we are going to work on our Basketball Loop tomorrow along with memorizing the Scout Motto, Scout Promise & Flag Ceremony. The boys will have to be able to pass most of this off before they will be able to participate in basketball.


Belt Loop
Complete these three requirements:

Explain the rules of basketball to your leader or adult partner.
Spend at least 30 minutes practicing basketball skills.
Participate in a basketball game.

No Pack Meeting This Week

Due to Hurricane Ike, there will not be a pack meeting this Wednesday, Sept. 17, 2008. Hope everyone is safe and surviving well.

Cub Scout SNACKS

We have assigned boys to bring snacks throughout these next couple of months. It will actually take care of the rest of 2008.
If they make something special to bring as a snack it will pass off A9b.

Bear Scout Denner

The Cub Scout denner is a den member elected by the den for a short period, usually one or two months. His responsibilities are determined by the den leader and den chief. This might include helping to set up the den meeting place and cleanup; helping with games, ceremonies, tricks, and puzzles; leading a song; or acting as den cheerleader. He should be given meaningful responsibilities and recognition to help him learn how to be a leader, so all boys will look forward to their turn as denner. (The short term of office is to give all boys the opportunity to serve. The shoulder cord is worn on the left shoulder.)

Pack 1094, 1078 & 780 Denner Requirements:
Call Role
Ask someone to give opening prayer
Help as needed
Be a good leader

Our Denner for September is Daniel Boyer.

Welcome Back Den Meeting

Here are a few pictures from the First Den Meeting of the 2008-2009 year. I think we did pretty good at getting to know each other a little better. We had 11 out of our 14 boys here tonight. We are off to a great start.




We will be having a scout of the Week every week.

Here are the 3 requirements:
1. Be here on time.
2. Wear complete uniform.
3. Good Participation.

David recieved the Scout of the Week Award, a prize out of the Scout Goodie Bag.


We will also have a Scout of the Month Award, which will be given out at the Pack Meetings. The Bear Den has a special trophy to be given to the Scout of the Month, which they get to keep for a month and then return it at the next pack meeting for the next Scout of the Month. The boys all loved and wanted the trophy, so let's see who gets it first.
