Pack News for Monday Night

posted by admin
Oct 20

Hello Pack 93 Parents!!

We have several activities happening Monday night:
For the dens that will be meeting at other locations – please drop by the church long enough to drop off the posters, sign the RRW pledge and collect your bags for the food drive.  This can be done before or after your den meetings.

Den Meetings – This Monday Night!

RED RIBBON WEEK – Reminder!
Please have your boys bring in their masterpieces!
All four schools (this includes the two private schools) have been contacted and all four have given their approval for the RRW posters to be hung in the schools.
Note – Gwin is allowing the Cub Scout poster to be the poster used for their poster contest, so only one poster is needed if your child attends Gwin Elementary.
In order for your scout to receive the DEA patch:  posters are to be turned in Monday night during the den meeting.  Name, School and Grade needs to be written on the back side of the posters.
Please put your scout’s poster on the designated table in the fellowship hall.

POPCORN MONEY DUE:
Monday night we will be taking up all popcorn orders and money during the Den Meetings on Monday night.  Parents will be called be Dens to go to a particular room.  Please make sure that your order and money balances or are the same.  Also, if possible, please have money in largest denominations or write one check for money for ease and quickness of counting.

FOOD DRIVE:
Don’t forget to pick up the bags for the food drive Monday night. The bags are to be distributed several days before the 4th to neighbors and friends.  On November 4th the  Scouts are to collect all of the filled bags and bring them to Green Valley Baptist Church on the 5th at 6:30. This will be a Pack Meeting which will be held at the church next door to Oakmont Presbyterian Church.
The food drive is one of the Pack’s service projects that we will do this year.  The Scouts usually collect between 3,000 and 5,000 individual units which go a long way in helping Green Valley help those in our community that need help, especially around the holiday times.

Tigers – Your Den Meeting (for both groups) will be at the Fire Station for a tour.
Directions:
On Patton Chapel Road pass the church and you will come to a red light.
Just beyond the red light you will see the Fire Station on your left.
It is located across the street from Gwin Elementary School.
Please be there by 6:15.  Scouts should wear class “A” uniform and don’t forget to bring a light jacket and camera.

Webelos 1s – Don’t forget your binders and “homework” (lists) to be able to complete your Citizen Badge.
Also, W-1s will be starting the Fitness Badge so your son will be outside for a portion of the time.  Please have him dress appropriately.

Webelos 2s – Your meeting at the Hoover Rec. Center.  Please contact your den leader if you have any questions.

Have a wonderful day and I’ll see you Monday night!

Welcome to Pack 93

Sep 19

We had a wonderful time at our first pack meeting Monday night.  Thank you to all of our new and returning scouts and their families for joining us!

Don’t forget to get going on our Popcorn Fundraiser.   Parents, be sure to advise your boys to be safe and only go out selling popcorn with an adult, never alone.

Next week’s den meeting will be all about camping in preparation for our Campout at Brierfield on October 6.   Class A uniforms will not be necessary this week as we will be outdoors and we may get messy.
