Back to school Shiloh students!!  Just think, in a little over a month, we’ll be starting our new scout year.  Hooray! 

 

For those of you who sent in your surveys, thank you!!  Your input and suggestions were greatly appreciated and so helpful during our planning meeting this past Saturday. 2009-2010 is sure to be a fun and exciting year for Pack 97!


CPCC TRAINING FOR LEADERS AND COMMITTEE MEMBERS

Future and returning Den Leaders and Committee Members  - please mark your calendars!  CPCC Levine Campus in Matthews will be hosting their annual all day “Scouter Success Seminar” on Saturday, September 26th, 2009.  This is a wonderful opportunity for those who might be interested in advancing their scouting knowledge and leadership skills PLUS, it is loads of fun.  More information will be available at the Leaders Retreat this Saturday.  You may also visit the website www.mcctraining.org.  Otherwise, please contact Anthony Irwin or Karen French for questions or more information.
Please note:  Youth Protection Training certification is only good for 2 years. It is mandatory for all adult leaders and committee members to have this certification current before the scouting year begins.

 

LEADERSHIP POSITIONS ARE AVAILABLE – WE NEED YOUR HELP.

Several of our leaders from this past year will be moving up a rank along with their sons for the coming year.  Some of our leaders have also regrettably had to withdraw from positions for the next year….so, please consider donating your time and participating more fully in the pack by volunteering for either a leadership or committee position in the coming year.  Either email or call Anthony Irwin, Karen or Amy with any questions
