Cub Scouts vs. Seniors Wii Bowling Event

This weekend, the St. Bede Cub Scouts went to a Senior Center in Monroeville for some multigenerational bonding over Wii bowling.

It was a really neat event.  The Pittsburgh Post Gazette also picked it up so you can read more online or on the front page of the Region section of today's Sunday paper.  A big thank you to Matt Hartman for organizing it!

Pack Newsletter - Winter Camping Edition

We have four exciting events in this Special Edition newsletter AND there's an updated schedule too!  Items 1 and 2 require action so please read carefully. 

1. Cyber Monday Deal:  Sign up today for a 2 night Getaway Weekend in a cozy lodge near Nemacolin Woodlands Resort AKA "Winter Camping"--Space is filling up fast so sign up now for January 16-18!  If you don't feel that "Winter" and "Camping" sound like fun together, I'm with you, but bear with me because this is worth it.  Despite the name, you stay in a warm house with beds, toilets, running water, etc. but get all the benefits of Heritage Camp.  Dave and Andrew went last year and had a blast with all sorts of winter activities (broomball, snow tubing, sledding, klondike games, etc.)  We signed up this year for Winter Weekend I but if that weekend doesn't work for you, feel free to choose a different weekend.  Register for yourself and your son online: http://www.heritagereservation.org/winter/winterc.php  "District" is "Fort Pitt".  Private rooms are already sold out for our weekend so sign up quickly (but common rooms aren't bad either).  Our pack is 646 and the cost for a shared room is $58/per person.
   
2. Harlem Globetrotters are coming to Pittsburgh on December 26.  If you are interested in purchasing tickets, we will need a final head count at Monday's meeting (12/8)--please bring your checkbook.  Tickets are around $20/person (final price TBD).
   
3. Mark your calendars for the First annual Pack 646 vs. Beatty Pointe Village UPMC Senior Center Wii Bowling tournament next Saturday, 12/13 at 2:30!
   
4. Christmas Party/Winter Recruiting on 12/15:  We will have our Pack Christmas Party on 12/15.  New this year, we're inviting our Scouts to bring a buddy who might be interested in joining Scouts (no obligations). It is not too late to join.  We're also looking for volunteers to help with food and activities.  If you're interested, please contact Darrell or Mary at cubmaster646@gmail.com.

Yours in Scouting,

Darrell & Mary
