Welcome to the 2017-2018 Scouting Year!!!

Hi Pack 39,

Welcome to the 2017-2018 Scouting Year!!! We trust you've all had an enjoyable summer! There’s just a couple notes to mention and then the regular weekly posts with all your scouting news will kick-off next week.

Pack 39 will have a booth at Marshdale's Back-to-School Ice Cream Social on Wednesday August 16^th from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM. We would love it if some of the Scouts could wear their full Class A uniform or at least their Class B shirts to the event. Have the Scouts encourage their friends to join scouts and bring them by the table to hang out for a bit and play a little Hockey Box!

Our first Pack Meeting of the year will be on Tuesday, August 29th, starting at 6:45 PM (please note the earlier start time). This is our annual "Join Night," where we will 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. This year the Reptile Man will entertain our scouts with slithering animals, fascinating facts, and creepy crawly creatures.

As is the case every year, popcorn sales begin soon after the school year does. Our Popcorn Kernel, John Hansen, and his new Co-Kernel, Ari Greenberg, will be sharing some information with us at the pack meeting. Show & Sells will begin in September, and a sign-up link will be provided soon. Remember that if you meet the minimum popcorn sales goal, you won't have to pay any Scout dues at re-charter time!

That's it for now - we hope to see you at the Ice Cream Social Wednesday night and on the 29th!
