It was so much fun to see the boys
proudly displaying their master creations during
our 2011 Annual Pinewood Derby. Held at the
St. Peter School cafeteria, the Pinewood Derby
is one of the most popular events held by Cub
Scouts and Boy Scouts all over the country. The
purpose of the Pinewood Derby is to help the
Cub Scout build a team relationship with their
parent or helper, experience the sense of accom-
plishment and the excitement of competition,
learn Win/Lose good sportsmanship, and to have
fun.
This year, we had 21 scouts racing and
13 outlaws registered to race as well. The race
track was also updated to include a timer which
clocked how fast each car came in. It was a tight
race amongst many racers - and a big hand
goes to our Grand Champion team, Dreyton and
his dad Chad!! We were able to get a moment
with the champs. Per Dreyton, “It is so cool to be
in the Pinewood Derby! My dad and I made the
car together - I actually drew it out on paper
first!” When asked
what his favorite
part of the whole
experience was, he
said “It felt good
winning, and of
course - having a
fast car!!” Going
into his third year of
Pinewood Derbies,
Chad contributed
their success to making sure the car was as
heavy as possible and using graphite to lube
the wheels. However, his biggest takeaway
from this was the time he spent with Dreyton
planning and building his car.
Thank you to everyone who helped out
during this event - those who showed up early
to help setup, those who managed the registra-
tion and check-in process, the boy scouts who
helped with operations, and those who stayed
to help cleanup. A special thank you as well to
the St. Peter School Athletic Department who
graciously agreed to host the open concessions
for us.

Pack 774 will be celebrating Scouting Anniversary
Week in February with a “birthday party” called the Blue &

of the year. It brings families together for an afternoon of
fun and cheer.
We are also looking for volunteer help as
we put together this anniversary event so that everyone
can have a great time. So, please bring your skills and
talent - contact your den leader and let him/her know how
you’re interested to help.
Each den will also be assigned a responsibility to
help as greeters, setup and cleanup. Dens will also be
performing their skits during entertainment.
For all the hard work of each and every scout, we
will also be recognizing the scouts for their achievements.
Awards, trophies and prizes will be awarded to the scouts
who’ve attained top honors in our Popcorn Sale and Pine-
wood Derby.
We will also be holding a
raffle during the banquet. Each
family will donate an item (valued at
$10) to be entered as a raffle prize.
Do not wrap the raffle items.
We look forward to seeing
everyone at this fun filled event.

Hot Off The Committee Table
Committee Chair, Albert Hubl
has accepted a position as Scout Master
of Troop 898 in Clearwater and will be
stepping down at the end of the school
year. We wish Albert the best in his new
venture and thank him for all that he’s
done for Pack 774.
Therefore, the Pack is currently
looking for a new Committee Chair to fill the soon to be
vacant seat. The sooner a replacement can be found, the
better off the Pack will be. The Committee asks everyone
to consider filling a position on the committee to help the
Pack GO!

First of all, I would like to thank
everyone for attending the Pinewood
Derby on January 9th. The attendance
was excellent and the scouts seemed to
have a great time. The creativity shown
by the scouts in their car designs is one
of the the most enjoyable parts of the
derby.
We implemented a new plan for
managing the derby this year, and we
appreciate everyone’s patience while we
worked through a few snags. We want to
make the derby even more enjoyable for
everyone next year, so if you have any
feedback on what went well, or not so
well, please let me or anyone else on the
pack leadership team know. We’ll roll your
suggestions into the plan for next year.
Our next Pack activity is the an-
nual Blue and Gold Banquet on February
20th. This is our Pack’s formal dinner and
awards ceremony where our Scouts should
be receiving their rank advancement. More
details on this event will be provided in the
future.
Finally, the time has come for
summer camp signups. Most camps are
organized around specific dens, such as
Big Bear for our Wolf Cubs who will be
Bears next year. Please work with your
den leaders if you are interested in attend-
ing summer camp so we can attend each
camp as a group if possible. Most
camps are offered more than once during
the summer but the weekend dates usu-
ally fill up fast. If you want to attend a
camp but cannot attend with the rest of
your den, please let me or your den
leader know and we’ll get you registered
separately. The camp staff will assign
you to a campsite with another Pack
which is a great opportunity to make new
friends.
Cris Schroeder Cubmaster, Pack 774
The Bears are getting closer to
accomplishing their rank! We’ve had a few
challenges due to severe weather but we’re
optimistic and the boys should be done on-
time for the Blue and Gold Banquet.
We’re determined to complete our
Nature Walk to achieve the Hiking Belt
Loop, and our Cooking achievement has
been rescheduled due to weather.
We are also considering a den
night out for a hockey game - parents per-
mitting.
On a housekeeping topic - Par-
ents, please send me an updated list of
your boy’s achievements by Jan. 28th so
that advancements (Bear Badge) can be
awarded at the Blue and Gold Banquet.
Chad Pawloski Den Leader
The Wolves had 100% participation
at the Christmas Party and at the Pinewood
Derby! We are very proud of them! Three of
the top four finishers at the Derby were Wolves!
The fastest car in the entire Pack was Drey-
ton’s! GO WOLVES!!
In December, the Wolves made
Christmas Cards that were delivered to resi-
dents at an Assisted Living Facility to provide
some Christmas cheer! We are quickly closing
in on the Blue and Gold Banquet which means
we are working hard to achieve the Wolf Ad-
vancements! The boys are working on their
achievements that have to be done at home
with their families.
We are planning two outings in the
next month. We will be going with a parent to
Home Depot to build a small shelf in February.
We will also be going to a local historical or
government site to see and learn about it. We
are looking forward to the weather warming up
so we can have our den meetings outside
again.
Crystal Iseman Den Leader

The Tiger Cubs had their first
ever Pinewood Derby this month. The
cars looked really awesome and the rac-
ing was great! What a big day.
The Tigers will be working on a
few activities to further their advancement
to Tiger rank which will be celebrated at
the Blue and Gold Banquet.
They will be going on a Go See
It! - to show their support and cheer on
their school girls and boys basketball
teams. What fun and excitement to show
our school spirit!
Another achievement they will be
working on is scrapbooking. It will be
great to see the creativity shown by each
Tiger/parent team. Our next big event will
be the Blue and Gold Banquet - the birth-
day of Scouting!
