Directions for Saturday

The cubmobile building workshop will be this Saturday, we will start around 10:00, but will be here all day. Take Hwy 50 south (towards Delta) go approximately 7 miles past Whitewater, to Kannah Creek Rd, (this is also Land End to go up to the Grand Mesa). You will turn right onto Kannah Creek Rd and go 2.5 miles to Whiting Rd (on the right). We are the third house on the right. If you have any questions, give me a call.

Cubmobile's

Last year the Bear Den made cubmobiles and had so much fun they wanted to do a race. So we have signed up to host a district Cubmobile Race on October 10th. We are still searching for that perfect hill, so if you know where it is, please let us know. A couple of workdays have been scheduled on September 5th & September 26th for anyone needing help. Scott will be at our shop at 169 Whiting Rd, if anyone would like some help. You will need your own supplies, but we have all the saws, drills etc. I have posted a list of the supplies we used, but feel free to come up with your own design and remember recycled parts work great!

Popcorn

We are in the middle of our Show & Sell Popcorn right now. Popcorn is the only fundraiser we do, and there are two parts: Show & Sell and Take Order. We sold popcorn at Walmart & Sportsman's Warehouse on August 29th, and did OK. Now we are going to try the OM Bowling alley on a couple of league nights, September 9th & September 19th. We would really like to have a lot of boys there, so if you can make it we would really appreciate it. We try to just do this one fundraiser and then coast the rest of the year.

New Blog

Hello, Cub Scouters. Well, I thought we could try this to help get information out to all our Scouters. Hopefully this will be a spot to help with questions and get resource information.
