New Families First and foremost, we would like to welcome all of the new families that joined our Pack! Thank you for attending our Join Night, and if you have any questions, your Den Leader, Patrick (our Cubmaster), or I would be happy to answer them. We look forward to another great year of Scouting!

Important message from your Popcorn Kernels Jen and John:

Please sign your kiddos up for a show and sell! The link is below. There are still many slots available and we'd like every Scout to try and do at least one. When it comes time for your show and sell, please call John Hansen at 303-520-3826 or Jen Allbritton at 303-513-3733 the day before your sale to arrange popcorn and supply pickup. Also, don't forget to sell online and to your friends, neighbors, and family, too! In order to meet our deadlines, we need ALL ORDER FORMS turned in by Oct 6th. As that day gets closer, we'll arrange some ways to get those turned in to either John or Jen. Finally, be sure to keep an eye on the Popcorn Stats page on our website to learn which Dens are leading the Pack toward a special Den Party! We'll have this information updated soon. Thanks so much, parents and Scouts!!

Rapidly Approaching

From district: "Do you like sports? Do you like camping? Well, look no further! This event is for you. Join Scouts and families from all over the Council for the Scouts Overnight with the Colorado Rapids! Tickets get you admission to the game, the overnight stay in the stadium, a figt, breakfast, and more! It's the best way to KICK the school year off right!" This is an optional district-wide event on September 12-13th. Click here for more info.

Camporee

From district: "If you haven't heard, the Denver Area Council's Peaceful Valley Scout Ranch is having its 50th Anniversary Celebration this year. Join over 5,000 participants at Council Camporee for a weekend of challenge, adventure, and fellowship. There will even be an attempt at a Guinness World Record! Don't miss out on the event everyone will be talking about." This is an optional district-wide event on September 18-20th. Click here for more info.

Class A Uniforms

Remember that your Scouts can wear their Class A uniforms to school on days when they will be meeting as a Den or a Pack. This helps show pride in the Scouting organization, and helps other kids gain interest. Please be sure your Scout wears his uniform properly, however, which means that it must remain tucked in (and everyone knows I'm a stickler for this!). To help them understand why this is important, perhaps you can draw an analogy of what their thoughts might be if they were to see a police officer with his/her uniform shirt untucked. Or a business man (perhaps even their dad) going to a business meeting with his dress shirt untucked. Encourage them to proudly wear their Scout uniform and positively represent our Pack!

Class B Uniforms & Pack 39 Patches

Class B shirts will be available at Pack Meetings for $15 each. We have an assortment of kids and adult sizes. In addition, we have exclusive "Pack 39" patches for $3 each. Please see a Den Leader or our Treasurer (Ellen Williams) at the next Pack meeting if you'd like to purchase any of these items.
