Good morning scouts!  Our scouting year is starting soon!  We are so excited to see everybody and have a FANTASTIC year.  We’ve got a few events coming up BEFORE the scouting year official starts on August 30th.  Please keep reading for important information.

Pack Committee Meeting
Our first pack committee meeting of the year is on Tuesday, August 23 at 7pm in the scout room at Mt. Tabor UMC.  Parents – interested in getting involved, but don’t know how or have limited time? We strongly encourage you to attend our pack committee meeting and contribute to making your scout’s pack the best it can be.  We have plenty of opportunities to help, even on a limited or one-time basis.  Our pack is entirely volunteer-led, and many hands make light work.  We’d love to have you!

Hiking Club
The next Scout Hiking Club Hike and Water Play day is August 21st at 1030 AM at Salem Lake. We will meet at the Salem Lake Playground parking lot. A map can be found at this link.

We will hike one mile in to a nice creek that the scouts can then stop and play in (it’s not deep). So put them in water shoes and suits. We will then hike back out the mile back to the parking lot.

Movie Day/Popcorn Party
We will have a movie and popcorn party on Saturday, August 27, at 3pm at Mt. Tabor UMC.  Parents – this is a great opportunity to fill out any missing paperwork!  Please invite your friends that are interested in scouting – you’ll earn your recruiter badge if they sign up!  Sign ups for popcorn show and sells will be available at this time as well.  

Scout Shop Uniform Sale
The annual uniform sale is going on now at the scout shop.  When you buy a top, you’ll get 10% off of the pants.  This is the only uniform sale of the year, so get it while its hot!  If you are having trouble paying for your uniform, please reach out to Bryan or Alicia.  There is a scouting clothes closet available and we can lead you to those resources.  And as always, if you are having trouble paying for any aspect of scouts, please reach out to leadership.  We want everyone to have access to the benefits of scouts and help is available.  We will keep your request confidential.
