November Pack Meeting
Registration

Sunday is the second unloading of pumpkins at Woodland UMC pumpkin patch! Be there at noon to help and earn some service hours!

Popcorn - contact Jennifer Hennes with any questions!
new store fronts have been added. Check out Trails End app to sign up! We are asking right now that if you have done 8 hours of store fronts already that you leave these new ones for others to sign up. Fundraising money will not be added to your account until sales are over in November. Any positive balance you have in Troop Web Host right now is money you earned last year. Remember that you can check out popcorn to go door to door! All money earned goes to help scouting!!!!

Trunk or Treat is our last meeting in October. Wear your costumes and meet in the gym. We will parade through the pumpkin patch and trick or treat through the trunks in our parking lot. For this meeting we ask that you park in the Ace Hardware parking lot unless you are decorating your trunk Sign up to here to donate candy or to be a fun decorated trunk! https://www.signupgenius....86359-pack . The troop scouts will also be selling hot dogs with chips and a drink for $5! Come with plans to eat dinner!!!!

Gold Rush - info has been sent out to everyone that registered. Ask away if you have questions!

November Pack Meeting - We have several scouts that have earned their Bobcat award for the first time. For these scouts we do a special face painting ceremony. Our Tigers have completed this ceremony already, but for others we will do this at the Pack meeting in November. This meeting will be on November 11th with a service theme in mind. If you have a special idea please share it!

Recharter - for those of you that have been with the pack at least a year, be sure you are keeping an eye on emails coming to you regarding renewing your registration/membership. If you reach your expiration date you may be removed from our roster and not be able to receive any awards. I'll reach out separately to those that I know are reaching that date.

Have a great weekend and see you Monday!!!

Sincerely
Jessie Patterson

A mobile Scout Shop will also be present to help with your new uniform needs. This is a family friendly event, so siblings and family members are welcome to attend and those who are ages 6 and up will be able to participate in all activities.

We will not be providing a meal, but please feel free to bring a picnic lunch for your family.

Date: Saturday, September 28, 2024
