If you want to build the rocket your self at home, or have done so already, not a problem. This den meeting is only for those who want to build it with the pack. Please remember to bring your rockets if you intend to build them. We will be launching our rockets at the Blue & Gold Picnic on Saturday.

You should have been contact by your den leader now on what to bring to the picnic.  Please arrive in FULL UNIFORMS, and bring a second outfit to change into.

Hello All,

First – a couple last minute reminders:

1.) Tonight there will be a Open Parent & Leaders Meeting at the Riverview Church starting at 7:00PM. Anyone who would like to assist in any way, shape, or capacity for the upcoming year in any role, should try to attend tonight if possible.

2.) The time for tomorrow night's meeting to make the lunches for the homeless is 7:00PM at the Riverveiw Church.

3.) Here is information on Scout Day at the National Constitution Center:

 

Scout Day at the National Constitution Center

March 20, 2010

9:00 AM – 3:00 PM

 

Scouts are covered by Pack 375. Adults are $12.

 

We asked about siblings and, unfortunately, they did not have an answer because the National Constitution Center doesn’t run this event.  They think that siblings can attend the workshops but that participation may be limited to the scouts if there is any interaction because they are working on specific requirements for badges.  There is food available for sale (burgers, hot dogs, sandwiches) in the Delegates Café or you can bring your own lunch. 

Scouts should come in uniform. The following scouts are signed up:

Jacob Chin

Philip Melito

Billy Roze

Cameron Gallagher

Wyatt Pahrman

Joseph Ballaron

Scott Hibbs

Patrick Sullivan

Ryan Lebo

Shane DiRenzo

Tyler Winterbottom

Elijah Neal

Malachi Neal

Jake Fuiman

Michael McKenzie

William Ersek

Jake Stiefel

Christian Hughes

 

We need to know by tomorrow if the scouts are still attending and who is attending with them. 

Please contact Danielle Gallagher with your attendance information. You can reach Danielle by email, daniellegallagher@comcast.net, or phone 610-745-9850. 

Hello Cub Pack 375!

 

We hope everyone had a good time @ Cheng's Martial Arts last Friday.

 

Tomorrow night is the final Open Parents' & Leaders Meeting for this school year. If you would like to help out with the pack in any aspect for the upcoming year (i.e. planning events, awards coordinator, 2nd Year Weblos needs a leader, fundraising, etc) please try to attend tomorrow night's meeting. Any and all help for the upcoming year is welcome.  We are meeting at the Riverview Presbyterian Church at 7:00PM.

 

On Wed evening at the Riverview Church, we are looking for volunteers to come help make the lunches we are donating to the homeless on behalf of the church.  Scouts & their families are welcome to come to the church to make peanut butter & jelly sandwhiches, and pack the bags with the lunch.   The church will then take the lunches we made and distribute them the next day to the homeless/foodless. The more people we have volunteer, the faster everyone can get done.

 

If you are planning on attending the make up Wings' Lacrosse game, which is this coming Saturday, March 13th, Mr. Chiaffa will have the tickets at the den meeting on Friday.

 

Friday's Den meeting will be held at the Riverview Church at 7:30PM.

***The Bear Den will be meeting at the Secane Firehouse as previously announced instead of the church.***

Please contact your den leader with any questions.

NOTE – this is a DIFFERENT location than in past years.  Scouts should NOT wear their uniforms.

The scouts will take part in a free lesson at the school. There is NO COST to this event.

 

You should have recieved an e mail from Anna Melito last week with your food assignments to bring to Cheng's Martial Arts. Please bring your assigned food item to Cheng's martial arts for the homeless lunches we are volunteering to help make as a courtesy to the church, and for community service.

 

If your scout is free on Wed, March 10th @ 7PM, we will be meeting up at the Riverview church to make the sandwiches for the homeless lunches. This is optional, but if you can make it please try to.  The more volunteers we have, the faster it will go.
