Tusca-Roarer January 28, 2016 TREASURE TEAM Tonight’s FOS Kick-off and Training has been postponed due to sniffles, bad weather, car trouble and unit conflicts. Kathie Terry is working on the master schedule for us between boxes of tissue. If your unit has not scheduled their 2016 FOS presentation, which usually occurs at the Pack Blue and Golds or Troop Courts of Honor, please send an email to her with a preferred date: [email protected] University of Scouting – Congratulations to all the graduates and participants of University of Scouting. We know that the content of the classes is the real reason you attend, and earning a little bling is icing on the cake! Here is a quick word on the pin placement from UoS President, Nell Colbert: “Thestarsforthe AssociatesandBachelorsdegreesgoontopofthestarsonthepatch.

Kristine Campanelli-Priori and Anita of Pack 420 and Eric Cerbulis of Pack 340 and his daughter worked the first half of Sunday. Thank you everyone. As a result, we distributed almost 200 teaser flyers for our April 30 Derby Fest (see attached) and spoke with more than 20 potential venders. Kids did crafts and took home manatee coloring books. Parents learned about Scouting and those with Cub-Scout age boys received a placemat with Cub Scout Daycamp dates. Webelos vs Monsters February 26 – 28, 2016 Tuscarora District will be holding an exciting camping event for all Webelos February 26 – 28 at the Highbanks Recreation Area, DeBary FL. Friday night campfire program will include complimentary Cracker Barrel for Webelos and their parents/guardians. Saturday will begin with skill training and demos transition to compe- titions between patrols and conclude with a meaningful campfire program including an OA Cross Over Ceremony. Sunday will start with Awards and end with a Scouts Own Service. This event is for Webelos, their parent/guardian and Webelos Leaders. Attendees will also receive a commemorative patch! Mark your Calendars for these two District Events! April 1 – 3 Spring Camporee for all Boy Scout Troops. Webelos are also invited for their own special program. Location will be near Spruce Creek Airport in New Smyrna Beach. April 30, 2016 – Tuscarora DERBY FEST! All Tuscarora Units are strongly encouraged to host a booth that features a game or activity to showcase for the public. Cub Scouts will be able to participate and watch the District Pinewood Derby. Boy Scouts will be able to participate and watch a Blast Car Derby (a small registration fee will apply for the races). Also at this public event will be Camp Card Settlement. DeLand location and details are TBA. Spring Recruitment at Community Fesitvals Attention Cubmasters – Since recharter time, your youth and adult membership might not be a strong as it was in the fall. Have no fear! Spring is a great time to recruit new youth and parents to your pack. In addition, district needs a few of your parents or adults on the promotion team for Derby Fest. You can kill both birds with one stone by helping to staff a craft booth at three community events: Manatee Festival – January 23 - 24, 2016, Valentine Park, Orange City Gateway Festival of Youth Arts – March 12, 2016, Gemini Springs, Debary Wildflower and Garden Festival – April 1-2, 2016, Earl Brown Park, DeLand Please ask your parents to help- email Norm Salveson at [email protected] ® Scout Day at Universal Orlando Resort Saturday, April 9, 2016 Group Discount available to Scouts and their Families (see flyer attached) $78 one day, two park passes is a great deal if you haven’t seen the Harry Potter World. You’ll get your money’s worth if you ride Gringots in Diagonally, the train and Hogwarts in Hogsmead and see nothing else all day. Say hi to your D.E’s son, Kenny at the castle. Good Turn: Information From Chris Beehner of Pack 560 Many of the Packs purchase arrows for their Webelos II Arrow of Light and crossover ceremonies. I have found Pueblo Direct to have fine quality, genuine arrows at a reasonable price. The high end arrows are usually discounted to $27 each for multiple purchases.
