Who? Boys in grades 1 – 5 may join Cub Scouts. Families are always welcome and encouraged to attend.
It’s Fun! You’ll make new friends, and learn new skills.
The annual Pack 313 Fishing Derby will take place on Sunday, June 2nd from 8-11 AM, rain or shine, at Horn Pond in Woburn! We will meet in the grassy area along Sturgis Street, which is at the northern end of the Pond. If you are using a GPS or MapQuest, I suggest you enter 53 Sturgis Street as your destination. There’s a small parking lot on the left hand side as you come down Sturgis St. from Arlington St., and there’s also parking permitted along the Street, which is fairly quiet. Here is the link to the Google Map: Horn Pond Map
The Pack will provide worms and some extra tackle. You should bring your fishing rods, and tackle. For anyone who does not have fishing gear, we recommend a simple, inexpensive (i.e. $10 or so) rod and reel package from Target or Arlington Bait & Tackle at 84 Mass Ave in Arlington (just before Alewife Pkwy on right hand side heading towards Cambridge). Their tel. # is 781-646-5598. It is also recommended that you take it out of the package before the fishing derby on Sunday morning. Maybe this week you can try some practice casting in your backyard! Our new Boy Scouts are also welcome to join! Hope to see all of you there and GOOD LUCK!

Hi Scouts! Hi Scout Parents!
The Pinewood Derby for Arlington Cub Scout Pack 313 will be held Saturday February 2th, 2013. Five winners; one from each Rank will move on to the District PWD Race, please see the attached District Rules and Regulations which also apply to the Pack 313 race.
The basic specifications for the racecars are printed on the instruction sheet inside all of the BSA Pinewood Derby Racecar boxes (“Official Grand Prix Pinewood Derby Kit”).
This year’s schedule will be similar to last year’s due to the increasing size of the pack (we have nearly 70 scouts registered this year). The idea is to stagger the arrival and check-in process to make it more fun for all.
We have seven classes of races: Tigers, Wolves, Bears, Webelos I, Webelos II, Family & Friends, Masters.
The plan is to run the Friends & Family race (i.e., for siblings, family friends) and the Master’s Race (for adults who are serious about the competition) in the middle of the other racing (i.e., after the Wolves, and before the Bears). Otherwise the racing is happening as “youngest scouts first” and “older scouts later”. Awards are presented after the race for that class is complete.
Racers may leave and take their car after their class is complete. They are also invited to stay and watch if they like (the more the merrier)!
Please bring lunch for you and your family if the schedule has you there during your lunch hour. We’ll make sure that there are tables in the hall set aside for those that need them (Please clean up after yourself).
Once your car passes registration, it may not be touched or handled by anyone except race officials. During the actual race, the person that owns the car will be responsible for returning the car from the bottom of the track to the top of the track. (And they get front-line-seats during the race as well!)
SCHEDULE FOR SATURDAY FEB 2nd, 2013
8:30 – 9:00 – Workers arrive to setup
10:00 – 10:45 – Registration for Tigers and Wolves
11:00 – 12:00 – Racing of Tiger and Wolf classes
11:30 – 12:15 – Registration for ALL OTHER CLASSES
12:30 – 2:00 – Racing for ALL OTHER CLASSES
Racing in the first section will be Tigers, then Wolves in that order.
Racing in the second section will be Friends & Family, Masters, Bears, Webelos I and Webelos II, in that order .
We expect to be done racing around 2:00 or 2:30.
After the formal racing is complete, we’ll have “open racing” till 3:00 and then cleanup starts. “Open Racing” means that the racers can line up and race their cars as many times as they want in whatever combination they want (friends racing against each other).
We still need three or four more volunteers. Please call me or send me email if you are willing to volunteer. We are short in all areas (setup, awards, and cleanup). Please volunteer – we need your help to make something like this run smoothly.
If you have any questions, please feel free to drop me an email.
Side Note, Christian Klein said he would bring the rope making machine for those scouts that didn’t have the opportunity to do it at the last Pack Meeting.
