Hello Cub Pack 375!

We will have a special visitor at the pack meeting from Friends of Scouting. They are part of a volunteer organization that helps with fundraising for the Cradle of Liberty Council, whom we are under. Please see the attached document for their information letter. They *will* be asking for monetary donations at the pack meeting. Please do not feel obligated to donate unless you want to.

 

 

Saturday will be our Scout Day at the National Constitution Center. It is from 9:00 AM – 3:00 PM, try to arrive early so you can find parking, etc. You must be preregistered for this event. Scouts should come in full uniforms. Lunch is available for purchase at the center, or you may bring your own brown bag lunch. The cost is $12/adult.

 

 

And remember – the Blue & Gold picnic will be held next Saturday, March 27th from 10AM – 2PM at Newlin Grist Mill Park.

 

We are looking for donations/prizes to raffle off at the event. Please contact local businesses to see if they would like to donate items to be raffled off at the Blue & Gold Picnic. Sample items that were donated last year included: portable chair massager, die cast replica model cars, autographed sports memorabilia, gift certificates, wireless routers, vaccum cleaners, and more!  Please go and ask your local businesses to see if  they are willing to donate anything – all proceeds will go towards the pack to support our events and other pack costs.

 

 

Hello Cub Pack 375,

If anyone else has pictures from the Pinewood Derby, or any past even Cub Pack 375 Event (from any year), please contact me at tchin@cltechsolutions.com and I will help get them posted on the website.

 

 

Friday’s Pack Meeting will start PROMPTLY at 7:30PM. Please remember the new rules – there is no horseplay/running around in the gym before/after the meeting, and parents/guardians must accompany their scouts at all times. The pack meeting is tentativley scheduled for the Hillcrest Elementary School Gym, however, there may be a change of location due to a scheduling conflict for the gym. If there is – we will send out another e mail and call everyone.

 

 

The Blue Mountain Ski/Snow Tubing trip is scheduled for next Saturday, February 26th. There will be packages available for skiing, skiing & lessons, snow tubing, or a combination of everything. Ms. Chiaffa will have all of the details on the packages available & pricing at the pack meeting. She asked that EVERYONE interested to bring your check book that evening, as we need to purchase the tickets this weekend. She apologizes that we don’t have all of the necessary information from Blue Mountain for our group discount yet, but she will have all info by the Pack meeting.
