new Eagle Scout Service Project Workbook has been created. Through Dec. 31, 2011, Scouts have a choice to use either the
new workbook or the one it is replacing. Scouts whose Eagle Scout service project has already been approved by the council
or district under the former wording of requirement 5—and using the former workbook—should continue with the same
workbook. If their project has not yet been approved by the council or district, they may elect to use the revised requirement 5
and the new workbook. Starting Jan. 1, 2012, Eagle Scout candidates—unless they have already submitted a plan for
approval by the council or district under the former requirement—will be expected to fulfill the revised service project
requirement 5 using the new workbook.

Tips for fun Cub Scout pack!!!!!!!!
One of the key tool in having a successful pack is keeping the cub scouts interested. Boring pack meetings will only lead to bored
scouts. Here are several ideas to bring some excitement to your next den meeting or pack meeting
• Skits - What is a scout meeting without a scout skit? Every meeting should have one skit prepared by a different den. The skit can be
elaborate or only last a moment. These are fun to watch and help prepare the scout for speaking in public.
• Halloween - The Halloween meeting can be most fun of all. Scouts can dress in costumes and have a parade around the room. The
month before, ask each den to create a Halloween display for the October meeting. They can create a "haunted house," a game with a
Halloween theme - anything they want! The display can have candy for each visitor. Then have a time during the meeting for everyone to
walk around the room enjoying the displays.
• Toilet Paper Mummies - Another good break for a meeting! Each scout has a partner. One will be the mummy, one will be the wrapper.
Each wrapper has one roll of toilet paper. When the leader yells, "Go," the wrapper must wrap the mummy with as much toilet paper as
they can. When time is called, the winner is most wrapped. Now comes the "clean up" lesson! Make sure you have a big trashcan, and
see how fast the group can clean up all that toilet paper!

Guys, I hope that everyone has wrapped up their popcorn sales and I do hope that you all had a successful effort. As of last Friday, we
were at just over $53,000 sold with 6 more units waiting to report. It is going to be close and I should know by today whether we made it
or not. Regardless, we had a heck of a sale and I am very proud of all of the units and their efforts. Every unit either matched last year
or had an increase in sales. That is huge in itself given these times. You guys have made Choccolocco District a proud district with what
you have accomplished. Let's keep it up guys and finish out the year strong.
On another note, we matched last year's attendance for Cub Scout Haunted sending 180 youth and families through the camps. That is
a great effort by the district and a tribute to your efforts as leaders for providing the program. Great job, guys.
The Round Table and District Committee Meeting will meet this week on November 3rd at our usual location. This is at the Anniston LDS

guys there. We will have a presentation dealing with NYLT so make sure that you guys show.

Pack 4010. Please see the attached flier. BALOO training will also be conducted that day. Please see the attached flier and registration
form for it as well.

will be $7 per session. We will have a patch available for everyone who participates. The system is set up for individual registration per
scout. We cannot group scouts by troop. Sorry for this. Just do the best you can, guys.
The Pinewood Derby is on February 18th at the Quintard Mall. More information is to come on this event.
Make sure that you are paying attention the the Journey to Excellence requirements for year end awards. Remember to log in your
service hours. We will have a brief refresher training on this on Thursday night. We are entering into the last months and we need to be
prepared to make this award as units and as a district. Go to http://www.scouting.org/scoutsource/Awards/JourneyToExcellence.aspx to
look at the pack, troop, and crew scorecards. You can find these at the links at the bottom of the page.
Guys, that about covers it. Please continue to strive towards excellence in everything that we do. Serve the youth. That's what we are
signed on to do. Thank you for all that you do.
