Early September Notes

Hi Parents:

Fliers Went Home Yesterday or Today. If your boy did not receive an invitation to attend Cub Scout sign up night from your school, please let me know.


Sunday- Show and Sell. I have been working with the district to get my hands on popcorn to sell at the Biker Toy Run on Sunday at the Augusta Civic Center. I don't have the product but it looks like we will be able to get some on Saturday so we should have it on Sunday to sell. I am looking for Scouts in uniform to meet me at the Civic Center at 10 AM or a little before. All the proceeds from this Show and Sell will be used to help cover some of the costs of the rocket launch that will be happening later in the month. We will be there for a couple hours.

Monday- Sign up at 6 PM at Hussey. Everyone is welcome but returning Scouts do not have to attend. We will have a registration table for new signups. Paul and Chris have Masons coming in to run a child identification station and we will need some adults to help with that. All kids can be identified and that will help police if (and hopefully never) they are kidnapped or become lost. We also will have use of the gym and the playground outside so I will need parents to help with those areas. My goal is to be free to talk to parents at the sign up part with the kids entertained inside.

Tuesday- Go See It. Paul Jerzombek has set up a visit to the Bangor Street Fire Station for the entire pack. This includes all of our new and returning Cubs. This is at 6 PM. This will be in place of our regular meeting but with the restart of school and all of the return to school activities we thought it would be a good idea for us to start off out of Hussey. Boys should wear uniform if they have them. I would suggest parking across the street at Rite Aid.

Tuesday Sept 22- Regular Den meeting at Hussey Elementary School at 6 PM
Sept 26- Popcorn Push Day and Rocket Launch
Sept 29- 1st Pack meeting at the American Legion on Eastern Ave at 6 PM. Leaders should get me the list of awards they need by the 24th.
