Lad and Dad Cake Bake: New rules to know about

cakeShipThe November pack meeting is less than a week away, which means it’s time to start thinking about your entry in the annual Lad and Dad Cake Bake!

New rules are in effect this year requiring that cakes be made of predominantly edible materials. They’ll also be sampled, although taste will not be taken into account as part of the judging.

Because they’ll be sampled at the pack meeting, cakes should also include a list of any potentially allergic ingredients. Parents, please assume all cakes contain allergens unless they’re specifically labeled allergen free.

As always, Tigers can enter cakes illustrated any way they and their adult partners please. Other scouts must enter cakes decorated to one of four themes: Scouting, holidays, sports or transportation.

For full rules and inspiration, please visit the Lad and Dad page of the website!

Online registration is now open for the Spring Trip!

registration iconRegistration is now open for the Spring Trip, and we’ve made it easier than ever before to sign up and settle up with online registration and payment!

All it takes is three easy steps:

1. Go to the Spring Trip page and click on the “Register now for the spring trip!” banner at the top of the page.

2. Fill out the form. Don’t forget to enter a valid Cub Bucks amount if you want to use them for this trip (log in to TroopTrack to check your son’s money account before registering).

3. Choose your payment method (you can select from credit card/PayPal, cash or check) and complete your transaction. If you’re paying the full balance with Cub Bucks, you don’t need to do anything. If you’re paying with cash or check, just bring your payment into the December or January pack meetings. If you are paying by credit card or PayPal, you’ll be taken automatically to the PayPal website to complete payment. You do not have to create a PayPal account to use this option. Also note that your PayPal receipt will come from Nathan Stephens, who is the pack treasurer.  You’ll also receive a confirmation email with details of your registration.

That’s it! You’re ready to blast off with the pack at the U.S. Space and Rocket Center!

You can also register in person (using these same online forms) through the January pack meeting. Online registration will continue through the end of January.

If you have questions, please contact Spring Trip Coordinator Christine Pearson.
