RECOGNITIONS
Thanks to Webelos Miles & David – helping with lollipop tree as we ran out of boats
Congrats to Cubmaster Dustin for being awarded the Northern Star District P Award of Merit. His efforts were recognized for helping other Units with recruiting plans this year, this sharing of work and resources with other packs was also what connected him with the Magician we had visit in March at no cost to the pack.  This all also had to do with his Wood Badge ticket (project) that was focused on recruiting, which you all helped with through your support at the recruiting events last year. Thank you all who helped!
AWARDS – going to handle all remaining awards at the May pack meeting. Make sure you have all your required adventures done by the weekend before the final pack meeting.

Song: Baby Bumble Bee
I’m bringing home a baby bumble bee
Won’t my mama be so proud of me
I’m bringing home a baby bumble bee
Ouch he stung me!
I’m squishing up a baby bumble bee
Won’t my mama be so proud of me
I’m squishing up a baby bumble bee
Ick it’s all over me!
I’m licking up a baby bumble bee
Won’t my mama be so proud of me
I’m licking up a baby bumble bee
Blech that’s yucky!
I’m mopping up a baby bumble bee
Won’t my mama be so proud of me
I’m mopping up a baby bumble bee
Hey mama, aren’t you proud of me?
