Monster Truck Bash

Thank you to those scouts and families who signed up to attend this fun filled event scheduled for Saturday, August 16th at the Lowe’s Motor Speedway.   Our registration has now been submitted.  As this is still part of the summer schedule program; fees paid by the pack (including each scout ticket) will need to be reimbursed to the pack the night of the event.  The full package including the Sleepover is $22 per adult and $15 per child 12 and under.  Ticket only options are $18 per adult and $9 per child 12 and under.  Please keep in mind that if you register yet are unable to attend; you are still financially responsible for the tickets.

District Program Launch

The District Program Launch will be at Belk Tonawanda Park on August 21, 2008 starting at 6:30pm.  This event is encouraged for all leaders, assistant leaders, and committee members and is also open for interested parents and adults.   They will be providing us with district calendars, program support materials, den leader kits, a hot dog cookout and much more. 

 

After this meeting we should know the dates for our school roundup sessions which will also determine our scout year start dates.  We expect to begin den meetings in early to mid-September and will be planning to have a returning parents meeting and kick-off event for the scouts prior to this.  We will post more information on the website and in the newsletter once we have details!

Book Collection

As a community service project this year, we would like to have our scouts collect items to donate as a pack to Sun Valley Elementary and Shiloh Schools.  SVE has requested new & gently used books.  We hope to have a request list from Shiloh by the next newsletter and more details to come soon!  J
