E-Newsletter January 2012   "Where Eagles Take Flight" We are quickly approaching our annual Blue and Gold Banquet.  This is a catered dinner where our boys receive their rank badges.  This night is all about making our scouts feel special so please bring your whole families.   Please note, we have had to move the date back to February 18th due to a scheduling conflict with CrossPoint.  Your Cub needs to be done with all their requirements before that date so please work with your den leaders to make sure that gels done.   Tickets for meals are $8.00 per plate.  We will start selling those tickets next week at our meetings.  The final date to purchase tickets will be February 9th.  We need you to get photos of the scouts to Jacob Givens for the slideshows as soon as possible.  Please email your 10 best pictures of your scout taken at scout activities since last years banquet to "photos@etowah777.com." Thank you. Let's Get Ready To Race! Pinewood Derby season is in full swing!  Each of our Cub Scouts gets their cars for free so ask  Mr. Dana if you don 't have your car yet.   Saturday, Jan. 14th is our annual derby workshop.  This is only if you want help building your car and is not required.  You can bring your car anytime from 9:00 to 1:00 and we'll do most of the hard work for you.   Our Pack race is February 41h.  We will be awarding trophies for speed AND DESIGN,  so spend some extra time on making that car look sharp!  We also have an "Outlaw Division."  Any non-Cub Scout can purchase a car for $5 and can enter to race their car for $5 the day of the race.  We also award trophies for speed and design in this category so let's see what you've got parents!  The District Race is March 17th and all cars are encouraged to enter and race for bragging rights for 777.  (Cub Scouts only, SORRY parents.) We host that event and we want all of our Scouts to he there.  (Racing that day is $7 per car.)  The Pack will provide a concession stand at both races as a fundraiser.
