CUB-O-REE and PACK T-SHIRTS

Hi Cub families! Two things to announce, Cub-o-Ree and new T-shirts:

First, Cub-o-Ree:

For those of you new to Scouts, Cub-o-Ree and Twilight Camp are the two events where your Cub can earn the BB Gun and Archery Belt Loops. Cub-o-Ree is the weekend of April 13 and is a camping weekend full of different events that meet different requirements. For more info on the event itself, here's a link:

We would like to get a head count for this event by this Tuesday, March 26. Please let your den leader know how many in your family will be going. You can register as a yes or a maybe. The pack will collect registration fees ($12 for each scout and $6 for each parent and sibling. Parents planning to stay both nights must have face-to-face YPT (Youth Protection Training) which will be available from one of our YPT facilitators, Joe Donovan or Robert Bragg. Joe will hold one session during the April 2 den meetings--just drop your scout off in his meeting and meet Joe in the main area of the church.

We also need medical forms for each scout and adult. They are online at the BSA Website (www.bacbsa.org). Only the first two pages need to be completed. (The doctor's page is NOT necessary).

 

Second, T-shirts:

We will be placing an order at the end of the week for a new Pack 696 T-shirt. We are ordering a polyester "wicking shirt," too, for those who want one. If you would like a wicking shirt, please PREPAY by March 26. They are offering this type of shirt at a very reasonable cost (around $15) and they will keep you very cool during those summer days! The pack is also ordering cotton shirts in both adult and youth sizes--sizing information is needed by the end of the week if you wish to order.

A flyer with the details is available, but Yahoo won't let me send it to all of you. We'll have copies available Tuesday, or you can email me back and I can send the attachment to you individually so you can see a mock design and more details.

The pack's goal is to order a combination of 50 shirts by April 1, so they arrive in time for Cub-o-Ree. A pack T-shirt is a way to identify members of our pack at large events, and this one will be "Gator Blue." We still have a few of the gray ones available but would like to transition to most Scouts, parents and leaders wearing the new Gator Blue one this Spring.

Joe will be available to take orders for cotton shirts and wicking polyester shirts at Tuesday's meeting. Remember, the wicking shirts must be prepaid, as they are a special order. Cotton shirts can be paid for once they arrive.

Thank you to Jennifer Lawrence for doing the research for our awesome new shirts!

See you Tuesday!
