Pack 1550 Rocks Scout Fair Ticket Sales!!

We now have 16 boys going to camp for free!  And 25 earning their salesman patch! 

We have two more sale dates.  The first is March 28 at REI Outdoors near the Willowbrook Mall from 11am until 6pm.  The second is April 4th from 10am-6pm at Gander Mountain.  I am still trying to get a manager at Kroger to give us some time.  If anyone has any ideas or a person contact with someone that has a great location to sell tickets don't be shy, give Sally a call or email her.

We need parents help with our Scout Fair booth.  We will be loading the rounds for our rapid fire rubber band guns (Super Cool), it is difficult for little hands.  The Scout Fair is fun for the whole family and loading those rounds for an hour is a bonding experience for your den parents.  You can work for an hour and then roam the fair with your kids.  You won't beleive the things you'll see and experience!

I know where I'll be June 23-26....Cub World at Camp Strake! Are you going to daycamp? There's no excuse to miss it! For the second year in a row any scout who sells 20 Scout Fair tickets will have the cost of camp covered by the Pack. This is the last year we'll be going to camp as the Polaris district and the directors are working hard to make this last year the best year ever! With CSI as a theme, science, forensics, BB guns, Archery and an alligator, who could go wrong??

If you want to go, let your den leader know as soon as possible because time is running out for early registration. Also, the registration process has changed, so we need to give our den leaders a little time to figure them out!  There will be two other registration dates, but the cost of registration increases with each one.

If you have any questions please contact Kat Amundsen kat@barefootgiggles.com  or Anna Foreman cookwithanna@hotmail.com 

As with most Cub Scout activities, this camp is run exclusively by volunteer manpower. This means we need YOU! Please consider this when you think of what you want to do this summer. I promise, volunteering as Adult Staff or joining your den as an "Adult Walker" is a real memory maker!

Wow! Thanks to dens 10, 17, 2, 1, and 16 (The Thunderbolts) the "Souperbowl of Caring was a great success on Satuday Jan 17th.  We helped HEB sell $2,042 in food dontations to the Houston Food Bank.  HEB actually said that we sold all the bags they made and was the highest sales of the weekend. All the boys should feel very proud to have helped such a good cause.

Sunday, Jan 25th we will have another full day lets see if we can beat it.

If you have any questions please contact Robert Birkline.

Blue and Gold is coming up. We need some help with collecting silent auction items and raffle prizes.  If you know someone or a company that can help in donating items it would be great. Please let Robert Birkline know.

The second thing that we need all dens to do is start getting a basket together for the silent auction.  It went over great last year so we are doing it again.  Please get with your den leaders on the average values of these baskets and details for your den.

Blue and Gold is going to be centered around a "birthday party" so get ready to have a blast.

Congratulations to Bear Den 10 and Weblos Den 16 in placing in the 2008 Polaris District Pushmobile.  Den 10 placed 8th for the Bear Rank giving there den the first win of the afternoon.  Den 16 placed 5th as I remember finishing up the afternoon for the pack. This was a good year for our pack and two of our dens placed, horray!

For those that don't know this is the last year for Polaris and what a way to go out.  Congrats boys and we look forward in seeing you place again next year.
