Cuboree is an action-packed day for newly registered Cub Scouts. Cub Scouts will enjoy a day of fun games, prizes, crafts, treats, shooting archery and more. Cub Scouts ages 2nd - 5th grade can also participate in BB guns. Only registered Scouts can participate in shooting sports (no siblings).
Boys and girls who join Cub Scouts this year will receive a rocket that they can design, build, and launch at cuboree. Youth in kindergarten through fifth grade who are interested in joining Scouting may also attend. We will help you find a pack near you and get signed up for Scouting. New Scouts can attend any Rocket Launch Day event in the council that fits their schedule. Returning Scouts can bring a rocket to launch.
Option 1: Cuboree and Rocket Launch. The cost is $11.50 per Scout and $5 per sibling. Siblings under age 3 are free. Patches are guaranteed for the first 150 Scouts registered. The late fee begins October 27, 2018, and is $14.50.
Option 2: Rocket Launch. Scouts who only want to shoot their rocket and not participate in the Cuboree activities can sign up to attend the rocket launch. There is no charge to shoot your rocket. The launch will be held from 11:00 am - 3:00 pm.
Training is an important part of learning to become an effective leader. Trained leaders impact the quality of programs, leader tenure, youth tenure, and a whole lot more. A trained leader is better prepared to make the Scouting program all it can be! Every Scout deserves a trained leader. See the council training schedule for a list of additional trainings offered around the council. For more information about training, contact Tamela De Maranville.
Hazardous Weather Training
Effective April 30, 2018, NEW Direct Contact Leaders must complete Hazardous Weather training as part of the requirements to be considered trained for their position. Direct Contact Leaders currently trained in their positions will not be required to complete this training although it is highly recommended. This training is available online at any time from My.Scouting.org. Further information can be found here as well as frequently asked questions here.
Two registered adult leaders 21 years of age or over are required at all Scouting activities, including meetings. There must be a registered female adult leader over 21 in every nit serving females. A registered female adult leader over 21 must be present for any activity involving female youth. Notwithstanding the minimum leader requirements, age- and program-appropriate supervision must always be provided.
All adults accompanying a Scouting unit who are present at the activity for 72 total hours or more must be registered as leaders. The 72 hours need not be consecutive.
One-on-one contact between adult leaders and youth members is prohibited both inside and outside of Scouting.
You should all have received access to the pack1999.org website. It is important that you add members@pack1999.org and eblast@pack1999.org to you safelist or as contacts in your email, to avoid our emails being sent to your junk folder. We use the website and weekly emails to facilitate signup for events and to keep you informed about activities in the pack.
As covered during the signup night, we encourage you to pick up these items : (i) Handbook for your child's rank (ii) Cub scout uniform shirt - also known as Class A shirt (iii) Neckerchief (iv) Neckerchief slide (v) Any council emblems/patches (vi) Den number patch. You will not need to get the unit numeral patches - a 1999 patch will be given to you, along with a Pack 1999 t-shirt.
These items are optional - a cap or hat, official pants/shorts/skorts, belt, socks etc.
The Scout shop is on FM1960 (6512 Farm to Market 1960 Rd W, Houston, TX 77069), near the "Pump It Up" indoor playground. Note the store is difficult to see - it does not face the street. Just tell them you have a new scout and mention the rank (Lion, Tiger, Wolf, Bear or Webelos) and they will be able to help!
For Lion and Tiger dens, we have sent out a separate email to get a first den meeting organized. Please respond to the email so we can get the dens organized and help you get started.
We are always looking for adults to help the keep the Pack running smoothly! If you would like to help as a den leader or in the commitee, please send an email to commchair@pack1999.org.
There will be a parent orientation at the first Pack meeting on 9/20/18 at 7pm, Hassler Cafeteria.
