Pack 109 Updates - 7/25/2024

Good morning Pack 109 family!

Just a couple of weeks left before school and scouts get back to business. I hope you are making the most of your summer! I know many of our scouts have been busy earning belt loops and pins already by attending pack events and summer camps! Just a few reminders of upcoming events listed below. I've also attached our pack calendar so you can see what our Leaders have been planning over the summer. It's going to be another fun and exciting year ahead and we are so happy that you all are going to be part of it! We are trying to schedule our Scout Shop to be at one of our first meetings so that you can get any new book or uniform orders in. Remember that our Webelos will continue to wear their blue uniform shirt and pants this year. We are recommending that every scout have a book this year to make the adjustment a little easier with the new program changes. As always, don't hesitate to reach out with any questions!!


Monday, July 29 at 7pm - disc golf at Fewell Park

Monday, Aug 19 at 6:30 - Welcome back party at Woodland. This is a fun water day for scouts to play and see their friends after a long summer. Wear appropriate clothing to get wet, bring a towel and water bottle!
