POW WOW
Page 24
A Fun-Filled Day of Cub Scouting Ideas, Tips and Information
Saturday, November 15, 2008
Compass Points
Presented by the Cascade Pacific Council
Pow Wow is a day-long Cub Scout leader information extravaganza. It goes beyond New
Leader Essentials Training for Cub Scout leaders, providing tips and ideas in specific areas such as
ceremonies, annual planning, skits, songs, crafts, outdoor cooking, and many, many more topics. Participants
select their topics of interest.
Pow Wow is the biggest one-day Cub Scout training event, and the event of the year to
renew knowledge, learn current policies, and share experiences in Scouting. All Adult Cub Scouters are
encouraged to attend. There’s something for everyone!
More specific details will be available in September at district roundtable
meetings, volunteer service centers, and online at www.cpcbsa.org/register.
The Pow Wow participation fee covers location rental, lunch, course materials (some classes have a small extra
fee for special materials), and an informative resource CD. The 2007 fee was $20 with a $5 discount for
early registrations. The 2008 fee is expected to be similar, and will be finalized and published on
www.cpcbsa.org/register.
Pow Wow is the first opportunity for your Pack to sign up for the 2009 Cub camping
season! There will be more details on how to register and official summer registration materials mailed to Cubmasters and committee
chairmen and presented at Roundtables in October and November. Plan ahead and have forms completed and money collected (only $10
per boy as deposit) prior to November 15th. We will begin accepting camp reservations at Pow Wow. No reservations will be processed
before that day.
Pow wow features a jam-packed resource CD as part of the registration fee. The CD contains a collection of handouts from this
year’s instructors and common Scouting forms. This allows you to take home notes from the whole event in one packet, and is a great
resource for your den and pack!
Not only are there classes at Pow Wow, but there’ll be a number of outside
organizations sharing opportunities for den and pack activities. Visit the Display
Area to get information for activities such as OMSI, Forestry Center, and more
(actual organizations may vary). Also get information here about summer camp,
product sales for fundraisers, and other programs.
You will create your class schedule as part of the online registration
process. You will select the classes you want to take and can see the availability
as you register. You will print out your schedule as you finish the registration process.
Be sure to bring a copy of this schedule with you on the morning of November 15,
2008.
Wear your uniform and comfortable shoes, perhaps a light sweater. Bring
a bag or daypack to carry handouts and other
trophies and trinkets you pick up. Many people
bring cameras or tape recorders. At the very
least, bring a notepad and pencil.
100% Quality Districts in 2010
It is a goal of the Cascade Pacific Council that all
leaders in contact with Scouts receive Basic
Leader Training, and we encourage you to
complete training before Pow Wow if at all
possible; this is not required to attend Pow Wow,
but will enhance the experience.
Sign up beginning in
September at
