Minion Blue & Gold

Everyone loves minions and they made the perfect theme for our Cub Scout Blue & Gold Banquet. The evening was a little rushed with a funeral luncheon right before. In fact part of our set up was actually luncheon take down. So grateful there were plenty of people to help. With that being said I didn’t have any time to go around a take pictures of everything before the party started. It is hard to be in charge and take pictures at the same time. Luckily a few other people shared their pictures with me – but I’m still wishing I had more pictures, C’est la vie!

 Our scouts helped by making minion center pieces at their den meetings. I loved how different they each were. They made the tables look fabulous.

Of course every party has it’s rules!

After dinner, awards and an Arrow of Light ceremony the kids went wild with our minion games. One of our den leaders made this amazing Ba-na-na toss game, while I got to get crafty and sewed the banana bean bags.

The kids made their own Squid Launchers also. With the force from a rubber band these little things flew about 30 feet. The project definitely need another seamstress and more helpers as the kids flocked to this table, but everything was cut and prepped beforehand. I eve sewed all the head parts – we only needed to sew a straight line across after the kids stuffed them with beans and tentacles.

We had our missing minion game. On the wall was over 50 minions with a twin but a few were missing. The kids had to figure out which 3 minions didn’t have their twin.

And lastly, Minion Bowling.  This isn’t a picture of our game, but similar.

Amy did a fabulous job with the photobooth. One again I’m lacking pictures of any of my scouts here – but what can ya do!

These things are always a lot of work but oh so fun. We had an easy dinner of lasagna, bread and salad with a smorgasbord of blue & gold desserts.

December Pack Meeting

This pack meeting was a little more frazzled for me because I didn’t plan it until a couple days before with most of the prep the day of, but it came together and was a wonderful night of service.  After our pack meeting last month where the boys learned about veterans we decided to do service for the Fisher House in SLC. Similar to a Ronald McDonald House, the Fisher House is for the families of hospitalized veterans.  The scouts made these cute finger print Christmas cards. We also made  motivational water bottles,

Merry Kissmas goody bags,

and bags of Elf Pillows.

The highlight of the night was sewing heating pads.  The boys and all the kids loved having the opportunity to sew.  I’m so grateful for those willing to sew with these kids.

I love working with these boys and planning fun pack meetings that teach them the importance of being good scouts, good citizens and good kids. We have a great bunch of Cub Scouts.

Calendar Freebie

With life getting busy I’m not scrapbooking as often but I thought I’d still share some freebies today. Here’s a set of calendar pages for your holidays.  They make the perfect gift.  These are designed for a 8.5x11 calendar and do not include the date part of the calendar – images only, plus a cover. Here’s a few samples.  Happy Scrapping!

November Pack Meeting

What an incredible Pack Meeting tonight. Our cub scouts are the best - they were so respectful and well behaved as we got to hear from 4 local veterans. It was fabulous. And a big WOW and THANKS to the SHS ROTC cadets who provided our color guard and did an awesome Cub Scout Boot Camp. It was amazing to have such a military presence with us as we learn about responsibility and service. We owe so much to those willing to sacrifice for our freedoms.

Boot Camp Calisthenics

Boot Camp Obstacle Course

They started with a ladder run, army crawled under barbwire (yarn), went across a balance beam,

and did some over unders, followed by nerf gun target shooting and a final zigzag sprint to the end.

It was a fun night.  We had every single one of our scouts there.  The boys were able to hear experiences and see memorabilia up close. A wonderful and fun night learning about our military.
