Next pack meeting (April 17) will be at 6:30pm -- not 7pm. Scouts should be there at 6:15pm.
Jen suggested using Enchanted Learning for a resource to grab Jurrasic Pack theme printouts and games. We could start these activities at 6:15 to encourage Scouts to settle in early. Randy will pick up little prizes to offer up as incentive to complete said games.
Crossover will last 30 minutes max; we will still have a bake sale (Tigers). Bob has been in contact with both 333 and 327 regarding the crossover ceremony. Webelos will do the opening.
Larry shared with us his experience of going to the Kent Bog with the Tigers for a Jurrasic Outing.
Spring Campout to Hocking Hills State Park
Leaders need to remind their members to make up a mess kit to bring on the campout:
One side note regarding Spring campout. Once again remind dens to either purchase mess kits (Wal-mart, Target, Kamper City, Dick's etc) or make up their own before the campout. Remember everyone will be on their own for meal preparation (food will be provided). The following is Ed Kennedy's suggestion for making up your own "homemade" mess kit:
Here is a list of what the scouts can use for a simple mess kit:
-a low, flat Tupperware or other plastic bowl that serves as both a plate and a bowl (you only need one item to eat from)
-a plastic mug for drinking, or just use the canteen or water bottle that you should have brought on the campout
-an old fork and/or spoon
-a small dishcloth to wash and/or dry everything
-a Ziploc bag to hold all of the above
-if you are going to cook over a fire, bring a small skillet or frying pan and a spatula from home
-Bears and Webelos should have pocket knives to use; for Tigers and Wolves, the parent/guardian should have a knife
Randy volunteered to go down early to campsite if needed for registration.
John Kozar will fill out the tour permit.
Meet at church at 7am Saturday morning, May2, for departure soon thereafter.
Physicals: Make sure ALL people (adults and cubs) bring a Class I medical form.
All den leaders: All dens should plan to have a shakedown meeting before the campout. This is where the Cub Scouts should show up with EVERYTHING they plan to take on the campout.
Helpful hints:
Bug sprays disable the waterproofing on the tents.
Questions:
1. What time does the registrar open?
2. What are our acitivities? Hike after lunch somewhere there... Den leaders, provide any scheduled activities your own den would like to do.
Next Committee Meeting will be April 26 to finalize campout details.
P.S. From Jennifer Morris:
John asked the Den leaders to have activities ready for their dens for the gathering time for the pack meeting. Have the kids arrive at 6:15 and begin at 6:30pm. During this gathering time - the kids can do printable pages/puzzles based on the theme of the meeting. (this on is Jurasic Pack) For ever two pages they complete - they can turn them in for a small "prize" - Randy's getting a barrel of plastic dinos for incentives. I would suggest having 5-6 different puzzle pages ready for your den. This way the kids can choose what they want to do - and can have friendly competition for who can get the dinos from the den. You will want to let the dens know this - so they can get there on time to start the activity.
Here's some dino printable pages for ideas:

I made the suggestion at our meeting that each den leader have a small first aid kit (dollar store) , an instant ice pack (dollar store) and Gold Bond First Aid Spray in their day pack for the Hocking Hills Campout. This spray covers infection, insects bites, and burns. It's the only thng that works with my boys because it doesn't sting at all and smells good. Here's a picture of it:
