Kicking Off the New School Year!

Post date: Aug 13, 2015 7:58:30 PM

Hi Pack 39,

I trust you've all had an enjoyable summer! I have just a couple notes to mention, and then my regular weekly posts will kick-off this coming Monday.

Pack 39 will have a booth at Marshdale's Back-to-School Ice Cream Social tomorrow evening from 4-6pm. We would love it if some of the Scouts could wear their full Class A uniform to the event, hang out for a bit at our table, and help encourage their friends to join Scouts! We'll also have our fun, new Hockey Box there, which the Webelos II Den made for us.

Our first Pack Meeting of the year will be on Tuesday, August 25th, starting at 6:30pm (NOTE THE EARLIER START TIME). This is our annual "Join Night," where we hope to have entertainment for the boys so the Leaders can meet with any new families and answer questions. If you know of friends/family who would enjoy our Scouting program, encourage them to attend this meeting - they do not have to attend Marshdale to join our Pack. We should also have our new supply of Class B shirts available at this meeting.

As is the case every year, popcorn sales begin as soon as the school year does. Our Popcorn Kernels, John Hansen and Jen Allbritton, will be sharing some information with us at the meeting on the 25th and handing out packets so the boys can start selling. Show & Sells will begin September 11th, and a sign-up link will be provided soon. Remember that if you meet the minimum popcorn sales goal (amount to be announced), you won't have to pay any Scout dues at recharter time!

That's it for now - we hope to see you tomorrow night and on the 25th!
