Pack Meeting - Popcorn and Dues DUE!


Remember we have Pack Meeting this evening at 6 pm at the church.  Please come prepared to turn in all your popcorn sales money AND dues for the next calendar year.

Dues are $26 per scout for the year.  If you would like to also subscribe to Boys Life, that is an additional $12 for a total of $38.  See our treasurer or myself if you are interested in a scholarship for part or all of your dues as those are available.

LOTS of boys have earned LOTS of awards so I encourage you to come.

Have your scouts come in uniform for candy!

Reminder to Tigers & Wolves: you must bring the "map of your neighborhood" drawn by your scout to qualify to receive the Map and Compass belt loop tonight.

Program Planning Meeting for 2014-2015

We will hold a Program Planning meeting for our pack to schedule our events for the coming year.  We want input from our families on activities we will do and where we will focus our effort.  We will meet at Cullowhee Methodist church on Monday, July 28th at 6 pm in the "library" room - across the hall from the big room where we normally meet for scouts.  Please plan on around two hours.  We will have some pizza on hand for a "working supper."

We are not planning on activities for kids and ask that only parents come.  If you have any questions, please contact me (828.399.1657) or Eric Hester, our committee chair.

If you are interested in volunteering in some capacity with the pack, whether helping with one activity or task or being a den leader, this is a great time to let us know and figure out how to include you and your skills.

Fontana Dam Trip - Details

Fontana Dam Trip - Saturday July 19
We will leave from Cullowhee United Methodist Church at 10:30 am and convoy there.  We should get there at about lunch time - please bring a picnic lunch for yourselves.  After lunch we will spend some time in the visitor's center to learn about the dam, then have about a 30 minute hike on the trail, depending on the weather. Make sure to bring plenty of water, any snacks you want, and comfortable shoes and clothes.
If your scout hasn't earned the Hiking belt loop yet, this is a good opportunity:

I hope y'all are having a great summer so far and an enjoyable 4th of July.  Please remember to be safe with all fireworks.
Yours in Scouting,
Lee Nickles, Cubmaster
