Hello Scout families!
Hope all of you are enjoying your summer!
Attached (SEE BELOW) is a list of our summer events. The first one, Raingutter Regatta, is coming up fast. It'll be on Saturday, July 13, at 9 a.m. at the church. If you were at May's pack meeting, you may remember that we are exchanging a regatta boat kit for a donation item to the Galveston Humane Society.
By Monday afternoon, there will be a box in the church office for donations, and you can drop off your donation anytime between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. on weekdays. The church office staff will give you your boat kit. Or, if you want, you can purchase your own boat kit at either of the Scout Shops in the area.
New Tigers are welcome to join in on this event, and if you are the parent of a Scout who has lost contact with the Pack but wishes to get involved again, please know that we'd love to have you at these events!!
Look for information about our annual Popcorn Fundraiser soon. We will be launching this in early August with a meeting at the church. Courtney Traylor and Katherine Rees will once again serve as our Popcorn Kernals, and coordinate our only Pack fundraiser for the year.
Please email me back if you have any questions, or wish to be removed from our mailing list. Or, if you are receiving this email at multiple addresses, please email me from the one you want me to use. I am beginning the process of cleaning out my contact list for the new Scouting year, and appreciate your help.
Also, the Pack Leadership Committee is meeting on July 21 to plan the upcoming year. Our pack is growing rapidly and we need adults willing to serve as Secretary, Friends of Scouting Chair, Pack Trainer, Outings Chair, and Treasurer. We also need a Tiger parent willing to serve as the new Tiger Den Leader. Please respond to this email, or contact Joe Donovan, our Pack Committee Chair, at 409-789-8040 or nitemaro4@yahoo.com if you'd like information on any of these positions. Members of the Pack Committee, the Cubmaster and Den Leaders meet once a month during the Scouting year to plan events and conduct pack business.
Thanks, and hope to see you on the 13th!
