CUB-O is an event that teaches your youth to think for themselves while learning to read a map and hiking in the woods. It’s fast, exciting, and FUN. And it’s all Cub Scouts. The locations of 40-50 orange and white orienteering flags are marked on the map and you and your team will go hiking in the woods to find them – or most of them! Each flag now has a code that you’ll write your scorecard. Flags are worth 5, 10, 15, 20, or 30 points, depending on how hard they are to find. Your Den team will get a Cub-O competition map 20 minutes before the race starts. Then you plan a hiking strategy to find the most flags and score the most points in just 2.5 hours! You’ll stay warm ‘cause you’ll stay moving!

Cub-O is a team event for teams (Dens) of 3-6 Cub Scouts plus at least 2 adults. Each team must have at least two adults registered for Cub-O. Be sure to dress warmly in layers and bring lots of water! Bring a compass and a watch so you’ll finish on time. All registered participants will get a Cub-O patch, our latest 5-color competition map, lunch and a great day of orienteering. Maximum team size is 8 people.

We will be having our Impound from 7pm-8:30pm. Please have the paint dry on your cars and *most* of the weights already put on and the glue dry. Also- please upload an updated picture of your Scout to Scoutbooks. If you need help doing it please reach out to your Den Leader, myself or our Cubmaster Todd. The pictures will be used when we issue the Scouts their racing “license” at Impound, so having that already uploaded will ease the time it takes to Impound the cars.

We will begin set up about 7am on Saturday and the Derby itself will begin at 10am! We will need volunteers from strong Leaders or parents willing to meet at our storage unit at 7 to pick up the track. Someone with a truck would also be appreciated. We have a covered trailer that we could use, but it would be bulky to drive around the storage unit facility.

Attendance at the Derby on Saturday is not strictly required, we will have a zoom option for those who may have gotten sick over the holidays or for those who have out of town family who want to watch. You will need be present at Impound or have a representative bring your car for you/your scout. We’re fairly flexible on this, especially since Covid, as long as the car can make it on Friday, we will run it on Saturday.

*If you are not present at the Derby* please make sure you make arrangements to pick up your car on Tuesday January 11 at your den meeting.

Our Monthly Committee Meeting after Den Meetings! We will try to keep these short and sweet as we need to be out of the church by 8:30.. but that also means that we will be starting right at 8!

All parents are encouraged to attend. If you want to be more active, please request to join our Pack 620 Leaders Group! We always need more help from parents and the facebook group is where we do most of our discussion and planning https://www.facebook.com/groups/420057578950247

This is the awards deadline for our February Pack Meeting! Please make sure to run the "Needs Approval" report and approve anything that the scouts in your den have worked on.

How to run "Needs Approval" report to make sure you get all of your Scouts' activities and awards approved:
Using the Scoutbooks computer browser window-
From "My Dashboard" go to the right hand side where it says "My Units" and select "Pack 620"
In the "Dens" list select your Den(s)
At the bottom of the page will be a list of options("send message", "Quick Entry", "Den Reports", "Print Roster", "Edit Den") Select "Den Reports"
"Den Reports" Will bring up a side window with more options select "Needs Approval Report"
This will take you to a page that has all of the Scout(s) entered activties and awards from that den(and that Den only) select "Approve All" and you are done, or you can select the scout and manually approve each one.. but everything needs to be approved unless there is good reason otherwise
Rinse and Repeat until All Dens under your purview have had the "Needs Approval" report finished.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask myself(Becky H.) or Amy H. We are happy to help and want to make sure that all scouts have their accomplishments recognized.
Thank you!
