Pack 210 rides again!
Well a new Cub Scout year is off & running, and we're still running with Pack 210 here on the south side of Pittsburgh! Our first two meetings, were Roundup/Fast Start Training nights, so Zachary didn't go to those, as I wouldn't have been able to stay with him anyway (I supplied the Fast Start Training materials, but I had to go to an Eastern District LC-MS Pastor's conference in Buffalo THAT week, so we BOTH missed that meeting!).HOWEVER, we had our first Pack Award Ceremony of the fall last Monday, as all the boys who earned awards over the summer received them. Zachary was recognized as being a new Tiger, plus, he got his first activity patch - the patch from Cub Scout Day camp!
Many of you who have knowledge of - or experience with - yo
ur camp's summer woodcraft projects, probably know the name, "Bob Rietmeyer." We like Bob here at Pack 210, because he's our committee chairman! As a woodcrafter/carver extraordinaire, our Pack - as you might expect - NEVER has a shortage of things 'woodcrafty' to do!

Ergo, Zachary got to make a nice little toolbox for mommy's garden tools that night, as our Pack activity for the meeting. He's actually getting better at this already, as the pictures will attest (I still start the nails, and let him finish them).
We're having lots of fun so far, and mommy was quite happy with her toolbox. October 22nd is the next Pack Award Ceremony and our Halloween party (as a diehard Lutheran, we do not celebrate "Halloween," per se - I celebrate either, the Festival Eve of the Reformation, or, All Hallow's Eve, but I detest 'Halloween... '
), so maybe I'll dress him as Luther or some such... unless MOMMY gets her way...

You know you're Lutheran when for Halloween, you dress up as your favorite person from the Reformation......
Ok, one more... How many Lutherans does it take to change a light bulb? NONE Lutherans don't like change(at least us LCMS'ers)...This is most certainly true.
OK, on to the serious stuff.....
Sounds like you are having tons of fun with your Cub Scout son...Oh the joys of building stuff with your young son...It has been awhile since I've done that with my boy, he's off at college now but my youngest daughter is chomping at the bit to turn 14(she just turned 11)...I keep telling her that together, we will join the local Adventure Crew that does high adventure...She says the Girl Scout Troops in the area are too namby pamby for her liking. Till then I'll just have to be content with being a SM...
Take Care
IHS and YIS,
Greg P.
p.s. The next Eastern Dist. meeting, see if you run across Rev. Alan Bauch of Lockport, NY; he is a former ASM(pre Seminary) from my troop here in Easton, PA
Did you hear about the school in the news lately for its banning of Halloween and Christmas because ONE parent complained. It seems it could be objectionable to MUSLIM students!
So instead, they celebrate "Fall Festival" and "Winter Festival"... Yet the school is still allowed to celebrate Ramadan! I wonder what they did around Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur... were those days objectionable to Muslims? ;)
But getting away from that...
Glad to hear he's having fun with Cubs. Enjoy it while you can!
Dress him up like J.S. Bach. Not only would you be paying homage to a Lutheran but everyone will get an education in good music. ;)
