16TH ANNUAL CUB SCOUT LOCK-IN
Friday, January 15, 2010 – Saturday, January 16, 2010 6:30 pm - 7:00 am
Linn County Fair & Expo 3700 Knox Butte Rd, Albany, OR (I-5 exit 234)
WHAT IS LOCK-IN?
It is a supervised, indoor, overnight themed event (Jungle this year) with Physical Skills, Crafts, Games, Displays, Archery, BB Guns, Snacks, and Movies from midnight until dawn!
WHO CAN COME?
Any registered Cub Scout accompanied by a parent or adult chaperone. A Tiger Cub Partner must accompany each Tiger Cub. Cub Scouts & Webelos must meet the 1:4 ratio of Chaperones to Cubs. Non Cub Scout siblings cannot attend due to insurance regulations. Boy Scouts cannot attend as a participant or spend the night. However we encourage all Boy Scouts and their Troops to provide an activity booth for the Lock-In. Remember, those Webelos are going to be Boy Scouts next year.
WHAT DOES IT COST?
The cost this year is $12 per participant if you pre-register by January 8, 2010. After January 8, 2010, your cost will be $20 per participant and you will need to register at the door. Each paid participant will receive a ‘2010 Lock-In’ patch and each Cub Scout will receive a Lock-In segment. Yes, chaperones must pay also because they get to do all the fun stuff along with the Scouts, except BB Guns, Archery and Fly Casting. All participants must fill out an Annual Health and Medical Record, parts A & C. This form is being used instead of our Lock-In medical form that we have used in the past. This form can be found online at www.cpcbsa.org.
REMINDERS:
****Please bring 1 or 2 cans of food for our first food drive of 2010**** Help us reach our goal of 1500 cans of food****

Participants will need to bring a sleeping bag, pad or air mattress (it is a cold concrete floor), and a pillow.

Once gear is stored, it will not be accessible until bedtime so keep personal items with you!

BEARS – 4:00 @ Saari’s home

Scouting For Food
Scouting for food will kick off Saturday morning (12/5). Scouts will begin going door-to-door asking residents to donate canned and packaged foods for hungry people in their community. Last year Scouts in Oregon and southwestern Washington collected nearly 361,000 pounds of food to benefit local hunger relief agencies.
We will meet at the Grange Hall @ 10:00. We will stop for lunch around 11:30. Then, we will gather at the Scout Cabin @ noon to drop off food and begin collecting food in Mill City. We will need several adults to help weigh and sort food at the Scout Cabin. We will make a final delivering to the Scout Cabin between 1:00 &1:30. After all of the food has been weighed and sorted it will be boxed up and delivered to the Mill City Food Bank. We will need several people to help deliver the food to the food bank. At the food bank, we will need help taking the food into food bank and sorting it on their shelves.
Remember:
• Dress for the weather. Dress warmly and plan for rain!
• Bring a lunch and a drink.
• All activities are for families. Siblings are welcomed. Adults, plan to participate with your scout. All activities (except den meetings) are designed for your scout and you. If you (the adult) are unable to attend you must make arrangements for another adult to be responsible for your scout.
If you have a bathroom scale that we could use for the day please bring it with you.
Monthly Dues
Monthly dues ($5) are due at Pack Meetings. Look for the Treasurer’s Table at Pack Meeting. To help ensure accurate tracking of money turned in, most of our payment deadlines will be different than those set by the district, council, or other event organizers. This is to help us make sure our records are accurate and registrations are turned in on-time, without late fees.
Monthly dues pay for boys’ awards. Awards will be withheld until dues are paid. Dues must be back paid. Dues can be paid for the entire year in one lump sum.
December’s Pack Meeting
Following a 5 year tradition, we will go Christmas caroling to local families. We will meet at the Scout Cabin @ 6:30 and carol to 3 families in Mill City. Then, we will travel to Lyon’s and carol to 3 more families. Finally, we will gather at the Grange Hall for awards, cookies, and hot chocolate. Please bring 2 dozen cookies, muffins, or other tasty treat. We will supply the hot chocolate. Dress warmly!
Pinewood Derby
Pinewood Derby (PWD) has been a favorite activity for our Cub Scouts. In December, boys will receive their PWD car. It will come in the shape of a wooden, square block. Slots for the wheel axles are pre-drilled and cannot be altered. The shape of the car, however, is up to you to design and shape. There is a lot of information online. So much that it can be overwhelming. The most important aspects to pay attention to will be:
• Weight: cars can weigh no more than 5 oz.
• Wheels: Wheels cannot be shaped. They can be sanded and polished. Once the wheels are in place, don’t play with the car.
• Axles: Axles cannot be shaped. They can be sanded and polished.
• Lubricant: Used between the axles and wheels. We have had the most success with graphite powder (sold where you buy keys). We will provide more info on this in Dec.
We will provide more useful tips and websites when we distribute the cars. We want all of our scouts to enjoy this event and feel success throughout the process. We don’t keep “Secret Tips” and will gladly share our experience and ideas with everyone.
We are trying to put together a Pinewood Derby Clinic where boys and adults can go to get help and use tools. We will let you know where and when as soon as we can.
