March Highlights
-Flag Ceremony for City Council Thursday, March 4th. Meet at City Hall in full uniform or as close as you can come at 6:30. The mayor will meet us at 6:45 and take us in. We will do a flag ceremony and make the city council honorary cub scouts. Not required to take part but we hope to have good scouts who are eager to show how well our Pack can represent Cub Scouts to the citizens of Augusta.
- Den Meeting- 6 PM at Hussey Elementary School on the 2nd, 9th, 16th and 23rd unless your Den Leader has made alternate arrangements. Remember the policy- no school, no scouts. Parents bring boys to the lobby and wait for the leader to take the boys to the classrooms. Thanks
-Pack meeting at the Legion March 30th at 6 PM. Leaders get me awards list including names by March 23rd. Each den to do song, skit and cheer at the meeting. This will be the big crossover for 2nd Year Webelos into Boy Scouts and awards presentation for other cubs as well.
ITS RECHARTER TIME
Our Pack has an annual charter from the Boy Scouts of America to run as a pack owned by the American Legion. This charter is the registration for all of our adult leaders and youth members. Typically, we charter from March to March. Boys who join in September (new Scouts not returning Scouts) pay a reduced registration at sign up and that covers them until charter time in March. None of this money stays with the pack. All of it goes to the Boy Scouts of America. There is a change this year. Council is changing recharter after this year to DECEMBER for all units. So, Pack 603 will be rechartering for 9 months instead of 12. The recharter fee will be for nine months.
Re-charter Deadline - March 31, 2010
Re-Charter length - 9 months - Expires 12/31/2010
Re-Charter Cost per Cub - $11.25 (Pack 603 pays for the fee for our adult leaders)
Boy's Life Renewal per subscription - $9.00
Chuck will be collecting the recharter fees at the March den meetings with the idea that we will turn in our charter at the March 30th Pack meeting.
Remember: one of the requirements for Centennial Honor Unit is to Recharter on time!
