Bring the King to Your Next Pack Meeting

Over the past 4 months, King Arthur has visited a lot of pack meetings.  The most recent one was a visit to Pack 2877 at Chester Presbyterian Church on Tuesday night.  The king forgot to have his picture taken at the Pack meeting, but here's a shot of him at his Winter Retreat, planning Adventure Camp for this summer:

Two fun facts about King Arthur:
1. Loves Diet Coke.
2. Has a tough time keeping the crown level on his head.  It's just a tad awkward.

So, has King Arthur visited your pack meeting yet?  No?!?  Why not?  Here's what usually happens if you invite the king to a pack meeting...right after the opening ceremony, the Cubmaster says, "Folks, we have a special guest with us tonight to talk about Adventure Camp."  King Arthur appears, brandishing Excalibur, and invites everyone to attend Adventure Camp this summer.  He gives a short, 5-minute presentation about Adventure Camp and then departs immediately so you can get back to skits, songs, and awards.  He brings a few hand-held visual aids (very low tech), and leaves a few handouts behind.

There is no excuse for not inviting King Arthur to a pack meeting.  Send an email to bill.givler@scouting.org to bring the king next month!

Early Bird Gets the Worm!

The "early bird" also gets a substantial discount on the cost of attending Adventure Camp.  If you know that you will be attending, now is the time to register and pay half your fees, because the "Early Bird" rates end on March 18.  After that date, regular camp fees will apply.  Check the Leader's Guide for full details.

OK, for bonus points, can you name the type of owl in the picture?  At night, it is not uncommon to hear this owl's call at Adventure Camp...a reminder that we are just visitors in a place where wild things live.
