Scouting Night
Wednesday, September 12

New
scouts and any boys interested in joining are invited to attend this fun and
informational night with their parents. Boys will be treated to some awesome
Cub Scout fun while parents can talk with Pack Leaders about the program and
register their boys with our Pack.
Boy
Scout Troop 111 will be on hand to assist the Webelos and new Scouts. This is a
troop that many scouts from our pack choose to go into after crossing over to
Boy Scouts in 5th grade. Many thanks to Troop 111!!
Current
scouts are asked to wear their Class A or B uniforms (Class B is the Pack
T-shirt) to school that day to show their Cub Scout spirit, and Webelos who
will be helping at the event are asked to wear their shirt that night as well.
Do
you need a Pack T-shirt? They are only $9! Contact Debbie Moege.
