These are the last few days to make sure we step in and have our best selling year ever! There are a lot of exiciting prizes awarded to the boys on a district level, as well as the return of "Cream the Cubmaster" and gift certificates to the highest sellers on the pack level. Most importantly, we as a pack family reap the benefit of great sales. All forms are due to me by Friday the 28th (the day after Thanksgiving) . Prize selections must be listed on the forms at that time. Due to the sale extension we won't get a second chance to order prizes, so please make sure your scout picks what he wants. In this, my third and final year as the popcorn "kernel", I'd like to request that every family get involved, I'm dying for that Blue Bell Ice Cream party!

Due to Hurricane Ike, all schools will be closed in the Klein ISD on Friday, September 12th. In addition, all athletic and extracurricular activities have been cancelled for Thursday night through Sunday night.

Our boys have worked hard this past year and it is time to make sure their uniforms are in check and up-to-date. I, like many other parents, have problems remembering where to put patches on the uniform. So I would like to share with you a couple of common uniform patches.

Common patch placement

1. Outdoor activity patch - Right pocket flap. The same pocket the achievement beads hang from.
2. Arrow points (for Bears and Wolves) - Under the left pocket. Start with gold arrow just under the rank they belong to followed by a double row of the silver arrow points.
3. Service star - Just above the left pocket centered.

I will be posting the full inspection sheet later.

It's a new year but it's never too late to join the Cub Scouts.
