We will be having a radio station tour at KPCC on Friday, April 3rd at 4pm. I'll send out a map of where you can park. The cost for parking will be $2 if you park on Pasadena City College campus. We will meet at the south entrance to the library building near the double doors marked "New Media Center".
If you have time to arrive early before the tour, bring a snack and let's meet in the Boone Sculpture Garden (south of the library slightly to the west).

Tiger Cubs in the Man Cave (Garage)
The Pack 4 Pinewood Derby is coming up on April 19 so the Tiger Cubs decided to spend our March Den Meeting getting started on our cars. The kits were handed out at the Blue & Gold Banquet a couple of weeks ago that included: a block of wood, axles, wheels and weight.
We started with drawing our basic shape on the block of wood.
Riley and his dad, Kenny.
Brian, Jason and Owen.
Then after a bit of a shop safety lesson we powered up. With all of the boys I helped with the bandsaw.
Ethan.
Nico.
Brian.
Owen, who also got the goggle safety test to see that I couldn't poke him in the eyes.
Then off to the sanding table. Something that hasn't changed for generations is the question while sanding.... "is this smooth enough?"
One kid actually finished their car.. and it turned out looking like an airplane.
Jason.
For rounding corners we used the disc/belt sander.
Owen's dad got into the zen of sanding by hand.
While the only mom present of course said we had to read the instructions.
We ended the afternoon with chocolate chip cookie bars.
Uncle Leo made sure everyone used proper safety.
Everyone is on their own to finish sanding and painting. The suggestion was made to hold off on putting on the wheels... otherwise it will turn into a toy and could get damaged before the big race.
Excellent job guys!

Tigers at the Blue & Gold
Tonight was the Blue & Gold Banquet, the time Cub Scouts gather to celebrate the moving of the 2nd year Webelos to Boy Scouts. Den 1 was quite an impressive group of boys. Congratulations to them all!
We had a great turn out to show our support of the Webelos. The evening started off with decorating our table, we were kinda counting on Owen's mom to step up and win us the award for best table but she wasn't aware of the competition she was up against. We had balloons, ribbons and tigers, quite impressive.
Owen.
Nico.
Riley.
Jason.
Ethan.
Brian.
Apparently the main point of the table decorations was to give the boys something to play with during the event.
Mark and I received an e-mail on Saturday morning indicating that all of the dens would be performing skits. With a little research Mark came up with this.
On the way home Ethan said, "Dad, that was fun." When I asked him what was fun he said, "Being with my friends and watching the Webelos ceremony."
