Conifer Holiday ParadeURGENT!! We are STILL looking for a couple of enthusiastic parents to head up our parade efforts! This year's parade will be on December 5th with the parade leaving West Jeff Middle School at 2:00pm. The theme is "The Magic of Hollywood." We will be using the same trailer as last year, and we still have the sleigh pieces that were custom-made by the Allbrittons last year. If you are interested in coordinating this year's parade float, please let me know!

Winter Coat Drive by the Tiger Den!

The Tigers are doing a coat drive within their den as one of the service projects for their next belt loop. Could you consider bringing a donation to the Pack Meeting on November 17th? The coats will be going to a Mental Health clinic in Denver and then be distributed to the homeless population that they serve. Adult-sized coats are requested more than children's. Thank you so much for your help with this very meaningful service project!

Popcorn Delivery

Hopefully everyone managed to get their popcorn picked up this past weekend. Please remember that all money needs to be turned in to one of our Popcorn Kernels no later than the November 17th Pack Meeting! Use the numbers below for any questions:

November Pack Meeting - Nov. 17th

Dads (or uncles, big brothers, grandpas...) and Lads... get your CAKE on!! It's time for our annual Dad & Lad Cake Bake! Get creative and bring your best delicacy to this month's Pack Meeting! It does not have to be a cake - brownies, cupcakes, etc. are all acceptable, but please respect our host church's NO NUT POLICY. All cakes will be judged by Den (including a sibling class) on the following categories:

Most Original

Best Looking

Best Scouting Theme

In addition, this is the month where we will be giving out Pinewood Derby kits in exchange for TWO CANNED GOODS to support our local food banks. We will also be doing our final Bobcat ceremony for our wonderful Wolf scouts!! And finally, our top popcorn sellers will be choosing their adult "victim" to take a pie in the face! Be afraid... be very afraid!

December Pack Meeting

As in years past, our December Pack Meeting (December 15th) will take place at Elk Run Senior Center in Evergreen where we traditionally call BINGO for their residents. Please note the time change for this meeting - we will meet there at 6:00pm and call BINGO from 6:15-7:15pm. This is always a fun event and the residents love it! Please plan to bring a plate of cookies to share as well as a couple of BINGO prizes for the residents to choose from. Keep them "senior friendly," which means no flame candles, no candy, and no gift cards. Prizes well received include battery-operated candles (with batteries), large-print EASY puzzle books, socks, etc. Scouts need to be in Class A uniform.
