It's a New Scout Year

Wow!  Is it really September?  We had a terrific turn out at the Fall Registration yesterday.  We have 22 new Cub Scouts in our ranks and there may be several more joining us at our first meeting.  If you know anyone who is interested in Cub Scouts but wasn't able to attend the Registration Night, bring them with you to our pack meeting. 

And, speaking of our first meeting, it really is just right around the corner (Monday, September 20th).  The meeting will start at 6:30 PM at the KC Hall.  We will have a lot of information to cover.  We will be looking for some additional volunteers to help out as Den Leaders and Assistants, especially given how successful our recruitment was this year.  Please consider helping out.  It has been my experience that the boys get out of scouting, what we as parents are willing to put into it.  We have been blessed with some wonderful leaders and we hope to continue that tradition.  We will also be distributing information on the Trail's End Popcorn Fundraiser.  We only have one month to raise all the money that our pack needs to operate for the entire year, so it is absolutely critical that each boy try to meet his sales goal.

One last note, the Lincoln Trails Council will be holding a "Bobcat Boot Camp" for all NEW Cub Scouts and their recruiters.  This event will be held on Saturday, October 2 at Rhodes France Scout Reservation.  It will be a fun-filled day of activities, including BB guns and archery.  Best of all the day is FREEEE! and it includes lunch for all that attend.  While at camp, Cub Scouts will complete requirements 1-8 for the Bobcat badge.  Registration will begin that morning at 8:30 AM and the event will continue most of the afternoon.  Pre-registration is due no later than Monday, September 27th.  Please let me know as soon as possible if you plan on attending.  If you have additional questions, you can call or email me.
