Mid-March News and Notes

Hi Everyone,

I just wanted to share some Cub Scout notes.

Everyone should have received information about Cub Scout camp in the mail. If you have not, please let me know and I will get it to you.

The next meeting is our pack meeting. I am asking each den to be prepared to run a station. The meeting will be held Tuesday at 6 PM at the American Legion. The stations can be an activity or a game

If you have awards, I am going shopping on Monday so please let me know on Sunday!

March is our annual recharter month. That means it is time to pay our membership fees. Please bring $11 for each youth you are registering and $12 if you want them to have Boys' Life Magazine to the pack meeting. This will cover your registration costs through next March.
