Popcorn, Popcorn and more Popcorn!We’re two weeks in and popcorn sales are PHEOMINAL! As of end of day Saturday, the total is around $8,000. Here’s the break down by den:Tigers: $880 Wolves: $2415 Bears: $1113 Webelos: $2605 AOL: $1060

Updated numbers will be sent out when they are all tallied.

Remember, not only can you sell popcorn through the “Show and Sells,” but you can do it via your popcorn sales sheet you received at the Pack meeting as well as online, and through neighborhood blitzes! Be creative & have fun. If you have any questions about this, please contact John Hanson or Ari Greenberg.

Remember to read the 2017 Show & Sell instructions before your sale time. Please follow the directions on the pages to make the processing part easier on the popcorn kernels. Tally up your orders, count items, and roll the posters. Keep up the great work!

*Special Note: When signing into the square at popcorn sales, make sure you log out (under settings) and then log back in. This will guarantee that you are logged into the correct selling location and all popcorn sales are accounted for correctly.

There are always areas for you to volunteer to keep the pack running smoothly. Right now we have an opening for a webmaster. They would be in charge of maintaining our pack website. If this interests you, please let one of our leaders know.

Youth Protection Training

We take our scouts’ safety seriously. True youth protection can be achieved only through the focused commitment of everyone in Scouting. It is the mission of Youth Protection volunteers and professionals to work within the Boy Scouts of America to maintain a culture of Youth Protection awareness and safety at the national, regional, area, council, district, and unit levels.

More information and links to this training are located HERE.

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. This means the shirt should be clean, ironed and tucked in. 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 at the next Pack meeting if you'd like to purchase any of these items.
