Happy Trails

It is time for our fall campouts.  The first one for Tigers and Wolves is coming up this Friday night at Lake Sara.  (Contact Tod or your den leader if you need directions to the camp.)  Make sure to pack warm clothing.  The forecast is clear and cool, but thankfully, not as cold as it is supposed to be tonight.

The campout for Bears and Webelos will be next Saturday night.  The preliminary forecast is for rain, so let's hope and pray that the forecast changes between now and then.  The only good news is that the forecast for that weekend is warmer than this weekend.  Hopefully, that part will still hold for the campout.

I have posted the camping supply checklist as a reminder of items that you might need for camping.  Adjust as needed for the weather and your personal needs / preferences.  The Pack will provide dinner for both scouts and parents / guardians, but everyone will need to bring their own food for breakfast.

As always, if you have any questions, please contact Tod.  See you at the campout....
Happy trails to you, until we meet again.
Happy trails to you, keep smilin' until then.

Keep on Selling

Just a reminder, there are less than two weeks left for selling popcorn.  How are you doing so far?  Hopefully, everyone is well on their way to meeting their goal of at least $375.  Don't forget about all of the great prizes that are available.
  • Popcorn Patch:  Available to everyone who sells at least one item.
  • Gift Cards:  Each Cub Scout who sells at least $250 will receive a Wal-Mart gift card.  The value of the gift card goes up as sales increase.  (See your parent packet for exact amounts.)
  • Akela Day Camp Fees:  The Pack will pay for each Scout who sells $375 to attend Akela Day Camp in June 2011.  (Or if you prefer, you may have half of the cost of overnight summer camp paid.)
  • Top Two Sellers:  The top seller will get their choice of an XBox Arcade or a Razor scooter.  The second salesman will receive the other prize.
  • Marshmallow Gun:  Available to any Scout who sells at least $600.
Just a reminder that your out-of-town customers can use this website to place an order and your Scout will receive credit for the sale.

Be sure to turn in all of your order forms and sales summary sheet at the October pack meeting.
