Hello Pack 375!
Updates & important information this week include:
- Scout Day at the Phillies game – tomorrow night – Tuesday April 3rd. Please meet up by the First Base Gate (Darren St.) at 5:00PM. The pre-game parade will start promptly at 5:30PM. Scouts should be in FULL uniforms. Siblings/friends were welcome last year. Also last year, they did NOT require tickets to the game for scouts to participate in the pre-game parade. I am going to assume it is the same for this year – so feel free to come down and partake in the parade even if you don’t have tickets to stay for the game. If I’m wrong – I apologize in advance. Information on parking, directions, and additional park information can be found here: http://philadelphia.phillies.mlb.com/phi/ballpark/transportation/index.jsp?content=parking

It will start at 7:00PM at the Havertown Bicycle Shop located at: 2030 Darby Road, in Havertown, PA. (the corner of Darby Rd & Benedict Ave). The shop will be closed and open exclusively for our pack. Friends & family are welcome to this event. There is no sign up sheet for this event – but please reply to this e mail with how many people will be in attendance so I can provide them with an estimate.
- The Blue & Gold Picnic for all scouts will be held at the Newlin Grist Mill Park ( http://www.newlingristmill.org/ ) on Sunday, April 29th. The time has yet to be determined. The cost will be $8 per person (5 years and older) and will have a cap for the *immediate* family at $40. Donations for prizes will be accepted for our raffle, as well as anyone who is able to volunteer to help out (i.e. setup tables & food, etc) would be greatly appreciated. Please reply to this e mail if you can help out in any way – i.e. getting donations/prizes, setup at the park, etc.
