Settling In

Wow, how our dens have grown! Because we have grown in size, parental support/participation is crucial in helping your scout enjoy scouting and meet his requirements. If you are able to stay for meetings to help, it will be much appreciated. Due to the increased number of scouts, everyone must be picked up INSIDE the church. Webelos (4th & 5th) are picked up in the basement. Please come inside so we know that the scout goes with the parent.

Attendance by every scout is needed in Webelos. We have so much to cover that we only cover it once and can’t really go back. If your scout does miss a meeting, please check with a leader to see what he missed. Missed achievements need to be completed at home.

Once again, we are collecting items for Operation Christmas Child. It’s a way to reach out to needy children around the world through gift-filled shoe boxes. The items will go to less fortunate children in poor countries. This is optional. Please see back of the pack newsletter for more information. Boxes are due back by Nov. 6. Please include $7 with the box.

The scouts will be selling popcorn through the month of October. All popcorn sheets and monies are due to your den leader by Oct. 30. Money is to be collected AT TIME OF ORDER, checks made to BSA Pack 199. Remember that even if the boy sells one item, he receives a patch & pin.
