It's getting to be that time again - to start thinking about...
design, color, weight, wheels.... I'm talking about the PINEWOOD
DERBY!
The
North Country WoodShop (in Burnsville) is opening its doors to Cubs and
family members in it's 1st annual Pinewood Derby Building Days
"We will setup our woodshop and classroom with all the tools needed for your
pack to make their pinewood derby cars from start to finish! Our instructors
will help with cutting, drilling, sanding, painting and more! We will also
have our Wooden Widget Kits available for brothers and sisters to make.
These include tool boxes, picture frames, recipe holders, bird houses, and
more, and can count toward activity badges!"
WHEN: By
appointment on: o January 8th from 12 pm – 8 pm (Sunday) o January
9-13 from 4 pm – 8pm (Monday - Friday) o January 14th from 8 am – 6 pm
(Saturday)
The combination of a challenging economy, concern for better
stewardship of paper/resources as well as the opportunity to
utilize technology for more timely communications have converged
to make for some upcoming changes to our Navigator newsletter.
The number of paper issues will be reduced from nine to eight
per year.
This reduction in print will be more than offset
by an increase in electronic communications with the debut of an
e-Newsletter Version of the Navigator this summer. It will be
more than a PDF of the paper version, but instead will have
brief news items with links to details that readers can select
based on their interest. It will have a number of versions and
readers will have the opportunity to subscribe to the categories
they choose.

Help Wanted.
Are you interested in getting involved in a different level of Scouting?
Do you have organizational skills you are dying to use? Do you have ideas
for campouts or activities that you would like to see used? Do you love
Scouting and want to help out wherever needed? Or do you just like to get
involved and contribute? If the answer to any of these questions is YES,
then we are looking for you. The district is a place where many things in
Scouting happen and we are in need of some people to take on some of these
important roles. Extensive Scouting experience is not required, only a
desire to help make some great things happen! Contact
