Recharter Due

Recharter is due for this year. If you just joined the scouts you have paid up to next year so this does not apply to you.

If you are a Wolf - Webelos I your dues this year are $41. If you are a Webelos II you dues are $21. If you would like to add Boy's Life please add $12.

Dues are due to your den leaders and must be turned in by December 1st, failure to do so will result in the scout being dropped from the pack.

The Space Place

I had someone at NASA email me the other day and he wanted me to share a new site they have for the cub scouts. Check out this site to find some fun activites to help make getting your rank fun.

Go to the NASA website.

Bring your can goods for a good cause and get some raffle tickets at the next pack meeting.

At the next pack meeting we will be having a raffle drawing for some prizes. Here is how it will work.

For every can good you bring you will get a raffle ticket up to 3 tickets. Pretty easy isn't it.

Bring those can good and we will see you at the next Pack meeting.

UPDATED: Fall Camp out

Find your campsite, download this.

The fall campout is sold out. We have a couple families that have not paid and a waiting list has been started. We currently have a little over 50 families going to the campout. During the upcoming days I will be grouping the dens together for camp assignments. I know that I was not going to do it this year but, because of our numbers I will have to group the families to make 8 people per site.

A complete schedule will is online on the packs calendar page. The day of the camp out Lalen will be going to the park early and getting the sites. As soon as I have site numbers you will be able to come back to the website to get your campsite numbers. We will have them at the headquarters site as well.

Don't forget to do your Rain Gutter Regatta boats in a pirate theme for the contest and there is a pumpkin decorating contest and dens have to supply there own pumpkins for the contest... one pumpkin per den is allowed in the contest.

All of the information about the camp out can be found at ... http://mypack1550.org/apps/calendar/view.php/243/Fall_Campout
