Hi Scouts and Parents,
Two messages for you:
CROSSOVER CEREMONY POSPTONED (message from Den Leader, Michelle Hill)
School is closed on today, Wednesday, March 24, and we need to postpone the Arrow of Light & Cross-Over ceremony. Tentative date is Thursday, April 8th, but this has not yet been confirmed. We'll let you know once the date is confirmed.
MAGNESS CAMP SIGN UP INFO (message from Committee Chair, Sheri Collier):
Due to the snow day we will not be able to meet on Wednesday....and that was also the magness Camp deadline. WELL we need to change our plans a little. SO here is plan SNOW :) or plan B.....
IF you are going to Magness Camp, please fill out your papers and mail them with a full check into the address provided on the forms. Paperwork was passed out to parents, but here is the link in case you need it: http://www.denverboyscouts.org/openrosters/DocDownload.asp?orgkey=51&id=49045
Once you have mailed your forms and check (1 form per person) PLEASE send me an email and tell me how many people you reserved for.
I will be in contact with Dewey and make sure we are still close together in the camping area.
I will be out of the country from Thursday morning until the end of the month.
If papers are not in with a full check by the 31st of March, the fee goes up and you are also NOT eligible for the jeans day dispursement. Of course, we still have scout tickets to sell too!!!
I hope that this helps. Once I am back in town I will verify the kids going through Dewey and we will work on the amount that will be divided amoung the boys.
I hope you all have a safe and happy spring break!

MARCH 2010 NEWS POST
Hi Scouts and Parents,
I'm Don Miller and I'll be the Cub Master for Pack 13 this year. My son is a Tiger Cub and we've had a great time scouting this past year. I'm looking forward to meeting all of you and working with you to move our pack to the next level. If you have any questions please give me a call at 303-704-7082 or email me at tres_millers@yahoo.com. And now for some March News:
This month we'll have the Arrow of Light and Cross-Over ceremony for our Weblos II group. The boys in this group have spent the last month visiting area Boy Scout troops, considering which group would be best for each of them. We wish all of these Scouts the best as they continue on with their selected troops.
The Cross-Over ceremony will be on Wednesday, March 24th, at our monthly Pack Meeting.

The Webelos 1 are gearing up for their fitness achievement. Many of the boys will be working on individual pins.

Thankfully we have the time change!

The Arrow of Light and Cross-Over ceremony on Wednesday, March 24, marks the end of the Cub Scout trail for the boys of Den 5. Four of the boys started as Tigers when Pack 13 first formed.
