May 1st, 2012

Hi Cubs,

This week we will be working on our scripts to finish our movie.  Also you will be learning about "Blocking" which is how to turn your story into an actual movie with scenes.  Also, remember it is banana split night - make your own ice cream treat night.

May 9th, 2012 we will be meeting at the movie theater at 5pm (that is the latest they can do the tour as they have to get ready for the 6:30pm showing).  Parents please be prepared to attend with your children, or be prepared to pick them up from the theater no later then 6:15pm.

See you soon,

Matt & Dianne

April 25th 2012

Hi Cubs,

We will meet at the church again this week at 6:30 in the gym.  We will continue to work on our movie.  I hope you have spoken to your group this week!  If you haven't then it's not a problem we will be spending time working on the plot after finishing many of the story boards last week.

See you tonight,

Akela (Matt)

Hi Cubs,

Just wanted to let you know that tonight we will be working on our movie.  Most likely we'll get to some test shots to show you what you look like on camera as well as finishing the script for all of our different parts.

We look forward to seeing you there and invite any parents who would like to attend to come.
We'll be meeting at the Church from 6:30-8:00pm.

Hi Cubs!

It's car painting night.
I will have your cars, some sandpaper, a large drop cloth, some rags, brushes, and the paint.  You will need to show up with some old cloths and an artistic mind.  (For the parents, Diane is sick tonight along with her kids so it will be a smaller group)  Please be prepared to stay and help out if you can.

Matt, Akela

Our Next Star and Badge Quest.

Hello Pack and Parents!

For the next little while we are going to be working on our Tawny Star and corresponding Badges. We are excited to start that this week with out Kub Kar Designs and such. We are so grateful to Brother Towers for donating his time to the cubs to help cut out and create their racing master pieces. It is always exciting to the see the cars race and win or lose everyone has fun.

We will be including in this set of badges our Pack Specialty Badge which we have decided will be a Cinematic badge. We are in the process of arranging trips to the movie theatre to see how things runs back stage and possibly even a trip to PG TV station to watch a show being filmed. It will end with the Cubs making a movie of their own starting from writing a script all the way to presenting a movie night with their families invited.

As with most of the cub badges there is work at home to be done for the badges and we will post the homework as needed. Please take a look through this list and see what your cub has already done and what he can do. These are always a fun set of badges to work on as it brings out every ones creative side. We look forward to having a lot of fun for the next couple of months :) Please note there are a couple of badges, like the collectors badge, that is completely up to the cub to do.

Have a Great Time
Akela and Bagheera :)

Good Morning Cubs!

We're excited to announce that your cub cars have arrived.  Also, all of the badges that we have been working on are here.  That means that this Wed March 14.12 we will be designing our cars and receiving badges (parents are welcome to attend), Wed March 21.12 is spring break (no cubs), Wed March 28.12 we will be meeting at the church then going to Brother Tony Towers house to cut out and shape our cars.  We may need to meet on Saturday the 31st of March to finish our cars, that is unless parents would like to spend time that week with their cubs to finish the cars on their own.  The city wide cub car rally is held in April/May (information to follow).

Best regards,

Matt & Dyanne
