Lots of stuff to share this week - some of this is new so please read!

Rank Advancements

Only one week left for our Wolves, Bears, and Webelos I Dens to complete all of your required achievements! These ranks will all be receiving their rank advancement patches at the April Pack Meeting next week (April 28th).

Scout Show

Don't forget that the annual Scout Show will be held THIS SATURDAY, April 25th from 10am-4pm at the National Western Stock Show Complex. This is an amazing day packed with different Scouting activities where the kids can learn new things, earn belt loops, and just have a lot of fun! If you'd like to join our Pack in attending, we are meeting at the front gate at 10am. For more information, click here.

Opportunity to Honor Our Local Veterans

On Saturday, May 16th, the Mountain Resource Center (11030 Kitty Drive in Conifer) is hosting an event from 7am-1pm to honor our local veterans by providing them with breakfast, health screenings, and lunch. We would like to offer our support in the way of fully Class A uniformed Scouts holding the doors for them, helping with breakfast, etc. If you are interested in participating in this worthwhile event, please visit the link below to sign up for a 1-hour shift.

All Awards Turned In By THIS Friday

Den Leaders, if you have any awards that you would like presented at the April Pack Meeting, please have them turned in to Karen Kitchner NO LATER than this Friday, April 24th.

Class B T-Shirts

We are putting together an order for more Class B Pack T-Shirts. If you are in need of one (or more), please reply so we can factor your needs into our count. These shirts are worn by Scouts (and adults, too) when the full Class A uniform is not necessary.

Wanted: Popcorn CO-Kernel

As we approach the end of the school year, we need to ramp up our efforts at securing a CO-Kernel to assist in this VITAL role within our Pack. This is not a year-long commitment... only a couple months. If you have never volunteered for anything with our Pack, perhaps this is your chance to help us out? It takes all of us to keep things running - and our boys are worth it!!

Summer Overnight Camp

Have you registered yet?! Pack 39 will be attending the Magness Adventure Camp on June 21-23. We would LOVE for as many of you to join us as possible! This is a family camp - all ages are welcome. The cost is $100 for adults, $120 for Scouts and their siblings 6+, and anyone 5 & under is free. Each family will be assigned a shelter with bed frames and heated bathroom facilities with hot showers and flush toilets (yay!!). Hot meals are also provided. You may register at the link below - and even if the days we've chosen do not work for your family, you are free to choose another time to go.
