News and
Updates
Roller Skating and Toys for Tots Review – Wow! We completely filled a
Toys for Tots collection box with our donations of Teen gifts – thank you to
all the Pack families for their generous giving. Roller Skating was a fun night
– 35 scout families attended. Lots of parents got out and skated! Only one
injury – to yours truly, but just a sprained wrist. A convenient excuse to get
out of shoveling all the snow we have had!
Salvation Army
Polar Camp – packets will be available to each family on January 15 at
Pinewood Derby Registration.
Friends of Scouting – pledges are due to Amy Gelhorn by January 15.
Please help our pack meet our goal! If we do, the Pack will receive free
progress toward rank awards and pinewood derby cars.
Scout Credits – Updated Scout Credits will be available on January 15 at
the Pinewood Derby Registration. Thank you, Todd!
Scout Credits for Webelos - The Pack Committee has decided that 2007-8 2nd
year Webelos may carry their scout credits over to Boy Scouts if they are
committed to a Troop. Contact your Den Leader if you have questions.
Cubmaster and Pack Chairperson – the Committee is working very hard to
fill these positions ASAP – they are vital to the continuation of the Pack.
