MEETING TIME/LOCATION
The Mohawk Cub Pack meets every Monday from 7:00 PM to 8:30 PM at the
Red Barn, 20609 Lakeshore Road, Baie
D'Urfe - except for
special events such as camping, hiking or outing ventures.
There will be a leader at the Barn by 6:45 pm every Monday. Inspection and the
collection of weekly dues begins at 7:00 pm sharp. Cubs who arrive late
will not only miss out on some of the activities, but may cause their Six to
lose points. The initial newsletter to new Cubs and Parents to start off
the season is found at this link.
INSPECTION
A key component of each meeting is pack inspection. Each week the Cub Sixes
earn points, the winning Six receiving a prize at the end of two months. A grand
prize is awarded at the end of the season. The most current standings by Six -
earned when cubs pass inspection, earn badges or win team games, is posted on the Cub Points web page. Gizzles
can be used as an alternate reward system.
The requirements for Cub
badges can be found on the Badge web
pages. Cubs are supposed to know the Wolf Cub
Promise, Law, Motto and Grand Howl - in either English or French. These can be found
on the Wolf Cub Promise, Law, Motto and Grand Howl web page.
Various statements about the Spirit of Scouting can be found on the Cubs'
Own page.
Inspections are worth 60 points/Six (prorated depending on
number of Cubs in attendance that week). During inspection each Cub can loose one
point each for not bringing in their dues, Cub book, paper, pencil, not having a clean
uniform, shoes untied, scarf put on poorly, undone buttons, dirty paws/fangs/fur and not
standing at attention.
A drawing of the uniform can be found
on this web page.
Games; 20 (1st place), 15 (2nd place), 10 (3rd place), 5
(4th place).
Badges; 15
(Stars), 10 (Award Badge), 5 (Achievement Badge).

WHAT
TO DO ON THE FIRST PACK MEETING
Notes to New Cubs and Their
Parents
Refer to the attached drawing depicting the
official Cub uniform. Cubs must wear the
full uniform to all meetings and Cub outings, including travel to and from
camps. Parents must provide the shirt, woggle, belt, buckle and navy blue
pants. We will provide the pack neckerchief, epaulettes, six badge, Town,
District and Province Town crests. The diagram shows the correct placement
of badges, etc. If you have any questions, just ask any of the Leaders.
Cubs should always come prepared to spend
part of the meeting outdoors. The middle letters of Scouting
spell out, and we will often go outside. This means that they must
have the appropriate clothing (including hats, gloves, boots, etc.)
according to the season. Please ensure that your Cub also brings appropriate
indoor footwear. No wet outdoor footwear (i.e. snowboots) will be
allowed in the meeting hall. Cubs without running shoes, (or others
appropriate for indoor games), will not be allowed to participate in any
indoor games involving running - it’s simply too dangerous.
Each Cub must also have his/her own copy of The
Cub Book, in English or in French. This book describes the program
and all the associated badges, stars and awards. Parents should spend some
time looking through the book with their Cub.
Check out the Tenderpad requirements. Help
your Cub practice the Motto, Law and Promise in preparation for investiture.
Which badges interest your Cub? For new Cubs, some Badges that can often be
earned quite easily include: Team Player, Collector, Cooking, Reader and
Language Strip (for testing in languages other than English, French and
German we will need some help). Cubs can also get parts of a Badge or Star
signed off as they complete them, without having finished the whole thing.
At most meetings, and at camps, we will have activities that tie in with
Badge work - sometimes we will explicitly tell them, other times it will be
up to them (perhaps with your help) to make the connection.
The uniform items and book can be purchased
at the Scout Shop. The staff are very helpful. The shop also carries
a lot of other interesting merchandise including craft supplies, backpacks
and camping supplies, etc. Be sure to inform them that you are with our Pack
- a tally is made of all monies spent by the group from now to the end of
December, and the Group Committee receives a percentage back. This little
refund helps to finance some of our activities.
At weekly meetings we also collect $1.00 in dues
from each Cub. The purpose of this is to help teach responsibility. If the
Cub receives an allowance, it may be his/her responsibility to pay the dues;
but all Cubs have the responsibility of remembering to bring their dues.
At the beginning of each meeting there is an inspection
to see that Cubs are wearing their uniforms properly. Each Cub must also
have his/her Cub Book, paper and pencil, and pay the $1.00 dues at this
time. Points are deducted for missing items.
Parents are always welcome to stay and
observe the meeting — of course you may be asked to participate, but that
only adds to the fun for your Cub! Your comments and suggestions are
welcome; just speak to Akela or one of the other leaders.
Scouts Canada Baie d’Urfé is open to all,
regardless of financial situation. This refers to Registration fees, uniform
and book costs, and the fees associated with camping trips. For more
information, speak to Akela. Your inquiry will be handled in confidence.
