We'll be having a uniform inspection at the December 16 (Friday) pack meeting.  Be sure your Scout is ready by looking at the uniform inspecion sheets in our documents area.  
    Scouts should be present in as complete an uniform as they own. We don't expect you to go out to buy things specifically for this inspection.  Note: You may use the inspection sheets to make sure that patches are placed correctly. 
    We'll inspect the Scouts, then the Scouts (selected by the Cubmaster) will get to inspect the adults. It should be fun.

Tuck those shirts in, please.

Spots are still available for our Pack's Ecotarium sleepover on January 7-8 (Sat-Sun).  Information on the event is here. 
The Cost of the event is $50 per person. Siblings are welcome (min. 6 yrs old).  Please pay when you sign-up.  You may sign-up with your den leader or with Jen Walsh (ferwalsh(at)comcast.net)

Activities include: 
 • A digital planetarium show
 • Exploration of the exhibits
 • hands on activities (based on chosen theme)
 • sleeping amongst the exhibits
 • meeting & learning about a live animal.

The Ecotarium will provide a healthy evening snack, and a continental breakfast.  Dinner is not provided.

All Scouts will receive a souvenir Ecotarium Patch and a child’s ticket for a free visit to the museum.

Pack 13 will be participating in a caroling/sing-along excursion to the Village at Willow Crossing, an elderly assisted living facility.  We would love for as many Scouts (and their families) as possible to join in the fun!

    Time:  3 P.M.
    Location:  The Village at Willow Crossing, 25 Cobb St. Mansfield

The cost is $12 per participant.For those unfamiliar w/Epsionage,it is a live entertainment venue. Actors lead groups through an hour-long interactive action/adventure mystery to be solved by the group using logic,science,math and ingenuity.Some who have done this adventure have compared it to being "a character in a video game or spy movie." Appropriate for ages 7 and up.(Nothing scary) (and in case you are wondering there's no Pats game on Sat. 12/3)
If interested please mail Betsy Nazar at betsynurse(at)comcast.net by Sun 11/30 so a headcount can be given.

 All are invted to attend the monthly Parent/Committee meeting on Tues. 12/13 at 7pm in the committee room of the church. 

  Please get your completed Pack Registration, Medical forms (Parts A & B) and Pack dues ($85) in to your den leader as soon as possible.  Checks should be made out to "BSA Pack 13".

 Have lunch, dinner or take out from the Chateau Restaurant in Norton (48 Bay Rd) on Thurs., Dec.15th, and 20% of food & beverages will benefit the Angle Tree District Friends of Scouting campaign.  This campaign directly and indirectly helps our Pack by supporting our local Council. Help out by munching!
All you have to do is present the coupon to your server.  Tell your friends about it. The coupon may be copied! 

  If you are planning on purchasing a freshly cut Christmas tree, please consider supporting local Boy Scout Troops while doing it.  Troop 17, who is also chartered by the OCC and has many former Pack 13 members, has been running a tree lot directly across the street from the church for over 50 years.  Consider helping them (or one of our town's other troops) out by buying from their lot. Note: you may even see some of our own Webelos there.

Just as a Cub makes the Pack go, so do adult volunteers.  We have many positions to fill, and are asking for parents' help.  Many positions are "non-uniformed", and require just a little of your time.  You'll be rewarded with the knowledge that you helped our Cubs get he most out of their time in the pack. Details are here.
