Cubmaster's First Blog.........

Welcome to the Pack 153 Cubmaster Blog........

I have been hearing so much about this blogging that folks are doing and decided to look into it a bit more. What I discovered is that this might be a great tool to add to the website to foster more communication between the scouts, parents and leaders in order to enhance the quality of the program for the boys. I am unsure how this part of the site will evolve over time, but hope that you find it useful knowing what is happening with the pack and offer an opportunity to give us feedback on making the program better.

I want to congratulate all the scouts for advancing to the next rank and appreciate those that came out last Friday to support our Tiger Cubs in their advancement ceremony. They showed that the glow of the scouting spirit is alive inside of them. I hope all of you keep the spirit alive throughout the years to come.

Also, thank you to all who came out in support of the "Good Turn for North Ridgeville Day" on May 10th. The boys assisted some of North Ridgeville's senior citizens in cleaning their yards for the summer and sprucing up flower beds and mulching. They were extremely appreciative and commented on how well behaved the boys are. The Webelos den also assisted in cleaning the water shed area behind St. Peter's of trash and debris.

As we look forward to June there are many opportunities for the boys to get out and enjoy the outdoor activities that the scouts offer. We had a tremendous amount of interest in the camps this year with our biggest participation ever in Day Camp and Resident Camp. In addition, it looks as if we will have a large group going to the Progressive Field Indians Overnighter. If you are interested in either of these it is not too late. Please reach out to your son's leader for more information.

Lastly, I want to welcome the new Tiger Scouts and families to the pack. We had a great start to the recruiting year and I am excited to get the den going. As we see them around this summer at camps please join me in welcoming them to Pack 153.

Well I think this is a good start to my career as a blogger so until next time......
