Den Meeting Notes

Yes, we do still have a den meeting scheduled tonight! Wolves and Bears: please wear pack t-shirts again this week.

Dues & Payments

Just a reminder that dues are to be paid monthly through April at $10/month. There are several accounts which I am still showing an open balance for. If you are not sure about your account status, please email me or come and see me after the parent’s portion of the meeting. Any accounts with an open balance after this week’s meeting I will email statements out for. Regrettably, if an account is not current by our next Pack Meeting it may result in awards being held back for your scout.

Cub Scout Day Camp

“Cub Scouts on the Move” is the theme for the 2009 Union District Day Camp. The camp will take place from June 15-19^th at the Union County Agricultural Center and runs between 8am and 3:30pm each day. Boys will build and race everything including paper airplanes, rockets, boats and cars. A bike rodeo, roller skating and skateboarding will also be part of the adventure. Program Fee is $55 and the fee and registration must be turned in to Mary Stewart no later than April 18^th. This is your last week to register with Mary at the Den meeting. If you cannot make the meeting Tuesday, please email Mary to make arrangements for her to collect your form and payment or you can visit www.uniondistrictdaycamp.org
