September 7, 2015

Greetings, Pack! I hope you are all enjoying your 3-day weekend! From BSA: "Labor Day, observed annually in the U.S. on the first Monday of September, was created in the late 1800s as a way to celebrate the accomplishments of hardworking American laborers who built the nation into one of the most powerful in the world, a legacy that remains today. Scouting is built around service to others in one’s community and on a larger scale of national and global citizenship. As you celebrate, remember the value of dedication to hard work that led to this holiday."Popcorn

Please sign up for a Show & Sell shift! There are still several spots open and we need to get them filled. 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. Remember, by meeting your $600 sales goal (which is easy to do with 2-3 show & sell shifts), you will not have to pay Pack dues come February. Plus, the boys will earn all sorts of cool prizes!
