Happy Labor Day everyone,
We will have our Pack Open House tomorrow evening at 7pm. We will have a sign-in sheet for all scouts and their friends, and they will earn tickets to enter a drawing for a prize. Each scout will be given one ticket for wearing their uniform. They will be given another ticket if they bring a friend. They will write their names on the back of the ticket and drop them in a container. The friend will also receive a ticket to go into a different container. At the end of the night, three people from each container will win a prize. (If your scout joined in the last month, their ticket will go into the “friends” container. (We don’t necessarily expect them to have their uniforms yet.)
Everyone will report to the Family Life Center (big gym). Mr. Mack Moore will welcome everyone and give a brief description of how the night will run before starting the games. There will be free throw, freeze tag, four square, and some more great games led by our dens and their leaders. The adults of new scouts and/or potential scouts can leave their boys playing games while they report to the Asplaugh Worship Center for an overview and a question and answer session.
Our sign-ups will be at the table. We do have 2 deadlines tomorrow evening. First is the USS Yorktown. Second is the Greensboro Science Center and/or Sky Wild Ropes Course. If you would like to attend either of these, please be sure you visit the sign up table.
We will NOT sell t-shirts tomorrow evening. You may purchase them at any meeting normally. Even if I don’t have them out, you may tell me what size you would like, and I will get it for you. Tomorrow night will be too crazy to drag them all out. Thanks for your understanding.
