Yorktown Accomodations

Pack 471 has arranged for a good deal on accomodations on February 5, 2010 ahead of our stay on the USS Yorktown.

You can get a room at the Quality Inn and Suites at Patriots Point for $89.00 plus tax. If you want to share a room with another scout and parent, you can also arrange that.

Tiger Scout Electives

Most of the scouts have now completed all the requirements for their Tiger Badges. I just need a couple more parents to report their progress on one or two things. Once the scout has completed all 15 Achievements, they can start earning the yellow disks. 1 yellow disk can be earned for every 10 electives.

Please keep track of your electives and let me know at the Den Meetings how many yellow disks have been earned.
