SHAC Jam

Have you heard about SHAC Jam yet?

The Sam Houston Area Council (SHAC) will be hosting a 100th anniversary Jamboree to celebrate this centennial year. They are anticipating somewhere near 40,000 Scouts to attend. It's going to be big, and fun.

SHAC JAM

October 8-10

Texas World Speedway, South of College Station

Just an idea of some of the fun...

Enjoy Model Rockets? Water Rockets? Join the new world record Rocket launch! More info at this link HERE

Cub Scouts are going to be able to attend the Saturday activities, with the exception of the Webelos II boys who have been invited by our troop to go camping Friday night. It's going to be a super fun event with thousands of activities. For more information, go HERE.

We will be sending out a sign up sheet for parents to help drive and chaperone Cub Scouts!

This will give you the final segmant for your special Star patch we have been working to earn.

Visit to KSTAR Country 99.7

Do you know where the term "Disk Jockey" comes from?  A long, long time ago radio stations had a seperate music room.  Before they would play a song on the radio, they would have to run into the music room and grab the right record and bring it to the production/live sound room.  Because they were constantly running for disks, that's where the term "Disk Jockey" was born.  Thanks to Outlaw Chris, we now know this!

The boys really enjoyed the tour of Radio Station KSTAR Country 99.7 this afternoon in Conroe.  They got to meet two of their DJ's and see what it's like to work at a Radio Station.

The boys weren't sure what to expect when we got there, but quickly understood how the radio station is run after our amazing tour.  They even had a chance to go live with DJ Tim Towers! 

When we asked how quick people called in for a prize, the DJ gave away tickets to the drive in right in front of us so we could see.  It was pretty amazing to see how quickly those callers won!  Next time you tr to win, realize it only takes about 25 seconds to get to caller 9... so give up after a minute!

Thanks to KSTAR for giving us a tour of their great studio! We had a great time and loved every minute!

Pine Wood Derby Video

Well here it is, folks! The moment we have all been waiting for-pictures and video from our Pack's Pinewood Derby last month! Enjoy!

Scout Fair Photos

Our Pack and Troop worked together for the 2010 SHAC Scout Fair at the Reliant arena. People estimate that over 24,000 people attended the Scout Fair this year. It was quite the success! 

How Wolves Fish

While the Bears were shooting marbles, the Wolf Scouts went fishing to see what they could catch. Nothing beats live worms for bait!
This was slightly smaller than the monster he had on the line that, "got away!"

Our Cub Master stopped in and joined in on the fun. They caught a beautiful bass!

The boys were so great at fishing, and very brave with the worms and unhooking. Sometimes those slimy fish are gross to grab, but they didn't mind one bit.

Some of the fish were so tiny and they would go after these giant pieces of worm! It was pretty brave, I thought.

A big thanks to our professional helpers!!!!

Wolf Scouts and Jungle Bunnies

It was craft night Thursday night! Following the Jungle Safari theme, the Wolf Scouts made "Jungle Bunnies" out of wash cloths. If I knew more origami, we might've been able to make more Safari-like animals, but sadly, my terry-cloth folding skills have only learned the way of the bunny. So, we decorated them and gave them spots and stripes and turned them into real wild creatures. The boys got to make one for themselves and one for a friend!

Maps and Compass

Last night two of the boys earned their Maps and Compass belt loop! Now you should be able to hand your boys an area map, drop them off and let them find their way home.

To earn the Map and Compass belt loop, you must complete the following:

• Show how to orient a map. Find three landmarks on the map.
• Explain how a compass works.
• Draw a map of your neighborhood. Label the streets and plot the route you take to get to a place that you often visit.

Patriotism

The Wolf scouts passed off one of their requirements for their badge. They had to learn where and how to display the American flag properl and how to fold it. Brother Scott helped them and shared some very good stories.
