Good morning! Tonight is our February pack meeting at 7pm in Alspaugh. Please come dressed in your Class A’s. This will be our last pack meeting for our Arrow of Light den before they move up to the troop. Please come and wish them good luck in their next adventure!
Blue and Gold Banquet
Our annual Blue and Gold Banquet will be held on Friday, February 24 at 7 pm. Tickets can be purchased here. We have a very special guest that will be with us as our keynote speaker: Jahmal Banks, wide receiver for Wake Forest University. Jahmal did cub scouts and boys scouts and has a great story to tell. We would love to have as many scouts as we can to hear him speak. Please purchase your tickets by Monday so that we can give a head count to the caterer – this is VERY important. Tickets will be available at the door.
Blue and Gold banquet is also an awards ceremony. We will recognize the overall pack Pinewood derby winners and coolest car winners, along with our outgoing leaders. There will be cake. 😉
Recharter
Our recharter campaign is right around the corner. Dues for the 2023-2024 scouting year are $75.00 and everyone has been invoiced through Square. If you have NOT received your invoice, please email me. Please pay as soon as possible; if you miss the recharter deadline you will have to fill out a new application and pay the $25 new scout fee. As always, please reach out if you need financial assistance. If you are looking to donate to our scholarship fund, please click here.
Summer Camp
It’s hard to believe, but summer camp is right around the corner! Camp this year will be held June 14-June 17. Camp costs are $180 per scout and $85 per adult – one adult is required per scout. A deposit of $50 will be due on April 23, with the balance due on May 23. Please fill out this interest form.
Fundraiser: Camp Cards
This year we’ve decided to participate in selling Camp Cards through Old Hickory Council. These are discount cards for places in Forsyth County and can be used multiple times during the calendar year. The cards are $10 each, and $5 will be put into a credit account for each scout that sells. This is a great way to pay for your resident camp fees! If you are a family that does not plan on attending camp but are interested in helping us refill our scholarship fund, please consider selling camp cards for that purpose! Please see Alicia for more information and to pick up cards.
Hiking Club
Our next hiking club dates and locations are as follows:
March 12, 1pm: Gibson Park in High Point

We are in need of a pack treasurer and a fundraising/events chair starting in March. Please see Alicia, Bryan, or Jim if you are interested.
